What trip wouldn't be complete without towing your golf bag stuffed with a week's worth of clothes through airport security? Matt and I where able to play two rounds in the eight days he was here. Round one was played at the Reserve at Spanos Park in Stockton, CA. Matt over came a slow start to beat me by 8 (77 - 85). The match was a lot closer before I hit two of the most cliche golf shots (the bladed bunker shot into the water hazard) on the last holes.
The second round was staged at Dark Horse Golf Club in Auburn, CA (course tour). This course was amazing! Rated the 7th best public course in CA. It played incredibly tough with long grass, bunkers and wildlife everywhere. We saw (almost close enough to pet); deer, coyotes, turkeys, lizards and turkey vultures.
Matt tees off on the 17th hole. Nice balanced finish!
Hard to say what was more impressive; the picture or the swing
Matt's 5 iron second shot into the par 5 18th hole, rolls ten feet from the hole.
I was unable to close the 8 stroke gap and Matt wins the two round outing. Matt 77,82 159
Josh 85, 88 173
I think it's safe to say that we had a great time. Who would have thought we would be playing golf in CA? I look forward to a few more rounds before Janelle and I leave...Pebble Beach?
