Pelican Hill
I got a call out of the blue yesterday, and I ended up in LA this morning. I got the chance to play Pelican Hill GC in Newport, and we had a blast.
I was planning on being home in Salt Lake early Thursday night, but I couldn't pass this up. The drive was well worth it. I got to meet a couple great guys, and catch up with a great friend. And the course was spectacular! Not incredibly tough, but not easy. Just plain fun.
The South Course has three holes right over the ocean. You can't beat that on any golf course, or any walk, for that matter. "Soak it up," I told myself, and that's exactly what I did.
I woke up this morning at 5, making sure I was there for the tee time. I was very early, so I got a chance to drive up and down the Pacific Coast Highway. I did a little reading on the beach, and still had time for a solid 1 1/2 hour practice session/warmup before the round.
I saw a lot of great shots in our group, and managed a few good ones of my own. My team made a nice comeback on the front nine, and ended up winning the total as well. I have to thank Joe for holding me up!
So it was a very fun day. I'm looking forward to being home a bit before I head out on the road for an extended period, but I'm glad I got the opportunity to play such a fun course with some amazing people today.

Which direction is this course from Venice? Just curious to find out if I walked by it, considering I walked from Venice all the way to Ventura. I don't remember passing any golf courses, but I wasn't really on the lookout. I was more concerned with the 55-60 lbs of gear on my back (and not becoming roadkill).
Sounds great. I'm envious.
Ryan,
Quite a ways from Venice. Newport is down in the Orange County area, way on the south side of what would be considered "LA"
Pretty cool place armchair.
