If the weather sucks in Ohio, go to somewhere warm to play golf. We were in Yorba Linda, California for a little late December golf. Merry Christmas to me!
Here’s the first at Black Gold. I cut a little too much off the left corner and found myself near the bottom of the hill and just inside the concrete/fence.
The second is well protected. If memory serves, I put it to the left of the bunkers and we chipped on from there.
Three tee shots and all were just a little to the left. I found myself just to left of the bunkers here as well.
Greens were superfast – maybe the fastest I’ve ever played on.
I’m pretty sure this is the fifth hole at Black Gold. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. It’s the number one handicap. It took everything we had to bogey this hole including a nice one putt bogey save.
480 yard par 5 sixth at Black Gold. I had a shot at putting this on in two but came up a bit short. You run out of room to the left as you approach the green. And, of course, get it over the canyon in front of the tee. Don’t get greedy and try to cut off too much.
I drew my tee shot just a little too far left and believe it ended up in a canyon near the green. Damn!
I thought I got a shot of the par 5 13th which was a gorgeous hole but I can’t find it. Here’s the 12th.
Weight still on the back foot a little bit which would explain that fade. But a good fade!
We’re running out of daylight on this California winter day. This hole narrows quickly. We got through 17 holes before being blacked out. Not bad for $55 though.
