Looking back at the first green at Mile Square Golf course
While on vacation in Southern California, I headed out for some reasonably priced golf and found it at Mile Square Golf Course in Fountain Valley, California. Greens fees were about $45 apiece to walk on an early Sunday morning. It was a little chilly but definitely warmer than Central Ohio.
I’ve not been keeping up on the Big Break until last night’s episode. Josh, Hiroshi and Brian played nine holes of straight up golf with the highest score being eliminated. The turning point – Hiroshi missed a tap in at the par 5 fifth hole that pulled Josh to even. Brian got to three under early with an eagle and cruised the rest of the way in. Hiroshi and Josh tied through regulation and went back to number 8 for sudden death. Neither hit great drives and Hiroshi’s second shot was in the left rough with the ball below his feet. Facing a shot to the green over water, he tried to get real cute with it and fade it hard to the flag. He ended up chunking it (imagine that, chunking a ball that is already below your feet) and it caught the end of the water. To his credit, he put a 60 degree wedge to about a foot from there but all Josh had to do was two putt. And the finals are set with Josh and Brian. Brian was on his game last night. If he maintains that level of play, he may be the new Big Break Champion.
