Budnicks, you're lucky your office was across the road, I've hooked a lot of tee shots of # 10. As a test of your golf ability, could you reach the # 3 hole in 2 ?
Probably if I remember the hole correctly
maybe 1/2 the time if I got a good drive off,
I could get close or pin high, chip on or out of the bunker
I was 2 handicap from 1989 up to 1997, in my 30's
pretty much a scratch golfer for about 10 years after,
sandbagger, when I lived in Rancho Murieta
they were 2 great championship quality golf courses
I was a member at Oakhurst late 80's - mid 90's before they went public
had a rental Townhouse there, it was tied to the property to have a membership
I was a member at Black Hawk for a couple years too, 2 awesome GC's too
I owned a lot there, I knew a bunch of members that I worked with
I had sold it & the membership mid 90's
I don't play too much now, not too many good courses close
have to travel too much, Greenhorn & Saddle Creek
in Copperopolis Hwy 4, it's 45 miles & at least 45 min.'s away,
Mountain Springs is close but it's a marginal course, up & down
I still do club repair & occasional lesson etc.
my skills have diminished I'm sure
life gets in the way, I have my senior dad living with me
cars jeeps trucks boats RV hunting fishing etc.

refresh my memory
isn't that hole like 557 yards or something ?
it's been 20 years I was 38, not 58 like now
wasn't there a small creek running across that hole too
you had to carry the creek or it was not possible
I seem to remember the one par 5 {can't remember hole #}
closer to hwy 4 that was down wind usually late afternoon,
was really long {?}
use to park my truck by the practice green in the parking lot
& shine the lights & Halo's on top of the rack on the green
so I could practice putting after hours...
I use to be severely addicted to golf...
not so much anymore
I use to play the back 9 a lot, just before work
or after my guys got off to work,
1st off the tee a lot of days before going in, on the back nine
that was the life, those were fond memories
sorry I got carried away
