Golf at HMB with Albert

by

Albert invited me to play golf with his dad and his buddy, Brian. It was a glorious day of winter golf at the coast. My golf, however, was inglorious, which was totally fine with me on such a perfect day.

After picking up on 17, I hit a fine drive on 18. I love the finish on the old course at HMB. The only stressful thing is the gallery of hotel guests who sit outside. Even on a crappy day, there are people out there. On a day like today, I had never seen so many people out there. My approach can end up anywhere from the ravine, to the ocean, to another approach.

Today, I hit it right at the pin and heard it hit the flag or the stick, to which there was a slight roar from the gallery. When I got to my ball, it wasn’t even on the green. As we drove away, someone stopped me and told me the ball landed a foot in front to the flag, hit it, and then rolled off. It was awesome, nonetheless. It’s the only shot I need to remember from this day.

This is a excellent alternative to a crappy ski season in Northern California.
