Summer Golf in the Desert
I survived! I drank soooo much water it wasn't even funny. I played 90 holes of golf in under 90 hours and most of it was outside of Palm Springs.
I played 18 with my dad the day before in Anaheim Hills. It was pretty decent and good practice for warming up to the heat (it was only 90) and for the bermuda grass which can be tough for those of us who never play on it.
We played the Stadium Course of PGA West which was in dis-repair. Sidewalks were torn up, the greens were SLOW with super long grass (for greens) and tractors tipped over in the waste areas (see photo). We also played Desert Willow Firecliff Course which was the nicest we played. And finally Silver Rock which was also a fine course and was certainly the hardest one of the group.
I've put a few photos up on Shutterfly for those who want to see the courses. It was a fun time, except maybe all the "del Taco" some of the guys wanted to eat.
