Any of you that know me, know that I love to golf (and any of you that knew my Dad know where I got this from), but I don't get out nearly as much as I would like to due to the ridiculous prices here in CA. With Heather out of town I was able to negotiate that since she got to spend money to go out of town on vacation, that I got to spend the same amount while I was here to do what I wanted to. One of those things turned out to be one of the greatest rounds of golf in recent memory (by recent I mean probably in the last 10 years).
I woke up this morning and had the great idea of going up to Corona to Eagle Glen golf club and see if I could just walk on being a single player. It worked as I was there no more than 10 minutes when they got me in with a threesome.
I had played this course about 4 months ago and loved it, but shot somewhere in the 90's :( . I was a little nervous about how I would do but figured that if it got real bad I would just stop keeping score and enjoy the fact that I was actually able to be out there golfing.
It turned out that I really wanted to keep score since I started out so well. The first 4 holes were amazing, going par, birdie, birdie, birdie. The last birdie was on a par 3 where I dropped my tee shot to within a foot! As it was rolling closer and closer everyone was screaming trying to get it to fall but it didn't :( I'm still waiting for my first hole in one. With that start I finished the front 9 with a 2 under 34 thanks to a bogey on 6.
Here is the view from the 4th tee- it goes over the ravine in front of the tee box and the flag was in the lower left corner. The shot sailed over by the cart path but then rolled down the hill to within a foot!The back 9 was good but I think I was getting a little tired and HOT (playing in the early afternoon is not good in the summertime here). I bogeyed 3 holes and pared the rest. The killer was that I bogeyed 18 by 3 putting! So frustrating but so amazing at the same time.
Can't wait to get out there again!
