Front 9 was a disaster.  About as bad as I can play.  Pulled it together a little better on the back.  Then on a short, even shorter with the tees up, Par 3 I hit it a little thin and it released and rolled up the green a bit an dropped into the hole.

First one I've ever had.  One of our sons was visiting from Arizona and it was nice to share it with him.

Congratulations.  Nice thing about golf is there are no style points, just results.  As the years go by, feel free to embellish upon the accomplishment!  ;-)

I didn't realize there were awards for that kind of stuff.

I went to the thread, do I just send a message to iacas?

Call it a hole in one.  That sounds better than an eagle, at least to me.

@70sSanO, Does "SanO" mean San Onofre?  If so I spent time there in the 60's and early 70's when it was a surf club.  First wave I ever stood up on was there, I was 7.

It sure does, but I was not fortunate to surf there (no club member with access) before Nixon granted public access and Reagan made it a California State Beach.  I know the club hated that.  I learned to surf at Bolsa Chica (Tin Can Beach) on a 9'6" longboard, but SanO was my favorite spot.  When short boards took over the 70's I would often scramble down trails and have the place all to myself... literally.

Then in the 2000's our sons and I would hit the surf beach (Old Man's) at least a couple times a week.  Was part of the non-list club for a number of years.  Kids surfed in the club contests and usually did fairly well.

SanO is a real soft spot for me and I plan to get down there during the week and catch a few waves when I retire.  Not quite ready for fighting the weekend crowds.  Old guys really don't rule in a SoCal lineup, even at Old Man's.

      Day 82 (22 Jul 25) - played our church men’s group captains choice nine hole this evening.  Had a blast working green side shots with the wedges.  Love the format as I play a nine club bag which brings on shot creativity in a fun way.

      Saevel25’s Bandon Dunes 2025 Trip

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Finished Bandon Trail today. Man what a course. Big upgrade over Sheep Ranch. I am giving Sheep Ranch a  7/10. Mostly views, course was good, and fun.  I am giving Bandon Trails 8.25/10. It's up there with Sand Valley in my opinion. Much more demanding of the course. With the wind it just gets brutal.  The first two holes are fully exposed to the wind, since they sit on the western edge of the course, open to the pacific. Even though it is tree lined, the wind has a big impact as it rolls over the hills and dunes. You can be surrounded by trees and feel the 20 mph wind at the tee box or fairway. I recommend using the yardage book, as it contains the course layout with a compass rose showing the prevailing wind (almost always from the north in the summer). It's easier to judge which direction the wind is going.  I played halfway decent. I hate when the shank gets loaded into the gun. Short game is on point, putting is good. I just need to make better swigs. My shot is definitely not built for wind. 😭 Here are some photos...

      Dave's Journey With the Rules of Golf

      By reidsou · Posted

      Would he not be entitled to unplayable relief and a one stroke penalty? And wouldn't the drop for unplayable plausibly be the same as the one he took?  That he cited the wrong rule and no penalty makes this a two stroke penalty instead of one? I'm assuming I'm wrong and there is a rule that prevents the player from reinterpreting his actions afterwards?  Regarding rule 14.7 - wrong place - and the general penalty. In this case, he gained a significant advantage by having an unimpeded swing? Shouldn't the penalty be for a "serious breach"? DQ?
