Re: Munson....golf update
I don't think her next visit will coincide with March Madness, Dino. But, if you play our course, I'll make it two a side for home field advantage! I probably won't bring the clubs to Vegas since it's such a pain in the ass to travel. With the artificial hip setting off metal detectors in every U.S. airport, and being that I will be riding solo, it would be too much trouble, I'm afraid to say. But, I'd love to tee it up with you someday back here.:thumbsup

That's gotta be horrible. I played 2 weekends ago down at the Ritz Carlton course in Half Moon Bay and it was beautiful out there. Played horrible but got to spend a nice day with my dad, brother, and brother-in-law.

That course in Half Moon Bay is tremendous, a great finishing hole as I recall. I have played Olympic, Pebble and Spyglass in your area, Joey, and enjoyed each one immensely. The pleasure would be mine if that game could ever be arranged. Maybe Freddie the Devil for a fourth?:thumbsup

Re: Munson....golf update
The last 2 at HMB are amazing. Though a few months ago when I played the par 3 17th which was playing about 130 that day, there was so much wind I had to hit a 4 iron to get it there, after dumping my first one onto the beach below. (would normally hit a pw or 9 on the hole)
I play Olympic every few months but I get frustrated quickly there if my game is off. Its a tough ass course, esp the lake course. The little par 3 cliff course at Olympic is tons of fun before or after a 'real' round there.
At this point I;'m just glad I can even play after years of back problems preventing me from really playing at all.

Re: Munson....golf update
Pebble to me was one of those places I just had to play when I was young, but after playing it twice, I don't really feel the need to ever play it again. I prefer to walk it and watch the pro-am vs play it.
Yea, I'm very fortunate that I can play fancy courses like Oly. There are actually a ton of other really nice private courses around me like Cal Club, San Francisco CLub, GreenHills, Menlo, Lake Merced, etc that no one has really heard of, but are amazing and VERY underused by the members. One of the perks of being raised around rich people, I guess.

Re: Munson....golf update
How about Harding Park, Joey? That's public and has a great reputation back here since they refurbished it for the President's Cup. Funny you mentioned the par 3 at Olympic. We played it before going on to the Lake Course, which hosted several U.S. Opens. Had a very good time, it was sunny and warm. I happened to have a very good day on Olympic and shot 84 if memory serves. The views and inspiration for me were at Pebble, though. I played it twice and would go there every year I go to Oakland if it wasn't so expensive.

Re: Munson....golf update
Harding is amazing. I used to play it often when I was young bc it was cheap and easy to get on, as is Fleming which is like a little mini course in the middle of harding. It was a much different course before they re-did it maybe 7 or 8 years ago.
Now, its kinda expensive if you aren't an SF resident. I believe it costs 2-3x as much for a non-resident to play. Its a beautiful course and is is very well maintained, or it was last I played it about 4 years ago. I will try to get out there in the next few weeks and see if I can give you a review. Just thinking about it brings back a lot of great memories, in fact, it was the first course I ever broke 80 on.

Golf's a tough game to pick up without instruction.
My middle-class background worked against me there.
I'm in steak's class when it comes to ability level.
I sometimes have a tough time getting the ball airborne.

210??? :lolxmas
I had a friend who played on my high school team who we still call "109" bc he shot a 109 during a state championship qualifier during our senior year to shit the bed for our very decent team. We'd have had maybe a 1% to even finish in the top 5 in the state, but still it would have been nice to play Cypress, Pebble, and Spyglass for free.

Re: Munson....golf update
I was lucky enough to have that as my 'home course' during my junior college playing days. I probably would have met or been able to play with Tiger had I been there one year earlier. My coach at the time played with him a few times. I did get to play in Notah Begays group during my freshman year which was kinda cool.
I got taken for some $ last time I played there by some two-bit fuck hustler last time I was out there. :doh1

I know you won't believe this, but my drives are actually going around 225-230 now...with an occassional 210 in the mix...
Maybe one shot on all the par 4's and 5's are just about the right spot to give you nowadays..especially if you still putt like you do...tell your boys I will be in CR in March for some good matches...

Well Munson....got to 53 in a row until an errant shot on the 185 yard par 3 found the water...chipped to within 10 feet and missed the putt....also took a double on number 18 to finish with an 83...
My caddy was happy (she told me at the end of the round)...she said I was getting too serious about my game...we both then had a good laugh over lunch...

not that hard a game, half the qbs in the nfl can break 80. tennis is more difficult.
