Return to Dad Miller

Well, my warm up game yesterday at Cerritos Ironwood 9 didn't help me play any better but at least I couldn't say I hadn't played in a month! After almost two years (October 2007), I was back playing at Dad Miller Golf Course in Anaheim (one of three golf course within a couple miles of where I live). Today was my 22nd time on the course but only the 2nd time I ever finished all 18 holes. I totally had melt downs on the very first tee and on the approached to #18. I kept telling myself that this is supposed to be "fun" ... kind of brutal until I remember that this isn't my day job (ha ha)! Wai and I got to play with two senior gentlemen, Nam and Mike. They were so consistent!


After shanking my very first tee shot into some bushes on the #1 teebox, I finally made it to the 1st green! Boy did I stink today!!


This was a pretty example of how horrible my golfing was today, my tee shot on #6 ended up on the base of this tree!


Here is Mike and Nam on the green waiting to putt.


Heres Wai teeing off!


We to to #9 tee box by 5:58pm with two more hours of daylight to go to finish 18 holes.


At #13 tee box, the sun was totally blinding but Wai managed to make Par on this one! I was able to make my one and only par on #15!


View of the water hazard on #15 (reverse angle from the green).


We made it #18 by 7:45pm and finished just after 8:00pm! Woo hoo!
It was only the 2nd time ever that I got to finish Dad Miller GC!


Our post golfing celebration was at Paul's in Anaheim where Wai and I had dinner afterwards.

A "fun" day on the golf course!

Warm up game at Ironwood 9

Lake at Cerritos Ironwood 9


Got in 9 holes as a last minute walk on today as a warm up for Dad Miller GC (Anaheim) on Saturday with Wai.

Didn't have any parts but I did have a couple great drives and didn't lose any balls today!

played a little bit better this time ...

Back at Whittier Narrows - Mtn Course 9

Played 9 holes this morning - afternoon in Rosemead, first time back since April 1, 2007. Boy, did I really suck today! But it's all good. I had this almost great chip-in with my putter from the fringe. Otherwise, I didn't do well on most of my drives and fairway shots.


Shot of the day had to be Charlie's friend Steve's on green tee shot!

Good Times!

18 Holes at David L Baker GC

One of two GC bordering Mile Square Park in Fountain Valley. This was the second time I've played this course (last time was September 29, 2007). I wondered it I was going to do as well as I did last time.


It was a very sunny warm day today!


This was the policy but no one listen, cause the play was very slow today!


Jim tees off as Jeff and Charlie spots for him.


Charlie tees up


Jeff is putting for par as Jim and Charlie watches


About four hours and thirty minutes later (from 2:12pm to 6:40pm) we finally finished! One of the guys was as red as a lobster from all that sun. I got some sun too!


Jeff and I went across the street to have dinner at Denny's. I got the Country fried steak with mashed potatoes and corn. It was good! I'm sooo tired and sorry. I won't have any problems sleeping tonight.

Good Friday at Bixby GC

Got to play 9 holes with coworkers Charlie & Jeff today at Bixby Village GC. Since it was a holiday, it was relatively lite today and overcast. Good thing it didn't rain.

The big highlight of the day was Jeff hitting a chipin birdie on #8. I played okay, one of the better times at Bixby Village (47/18) including a par on #9.


We had a late lunch at Fantastic Cafe in Long Beach afterwards.

I had the BBQ beef sandwich, it was good!

A great day off with friends on the golf course.

9 holes at Ironwood Nine

DB is playing his first round of golf since Nov 22, 2008 (and the rust shows)!


Jeff teeing off, he shot a 40 for the day!


Charlie is putting, he had really nice long putt on #8!


Charlie's friend Steve, had the HERO shot of the day, he hit the greens at 150 yards between the water hazards and saved par.


although it was an ugly round for DB, it was still good to be back on the golf course!
