Santa Cruz Magic

Dustin and I went to Santa Cruz today to play DeLa, and we had a great day. It was very warm, but there was not many players out and so we were able to play around fairly quickly. We both shot a +14, and I had a very up and down round. I had 3 birdies on holes #3, #10, and #17 - but also had 6 on #9, and 5 on #11, #23, and #24 - yikes.

I had one of the best birdies of my short career on #10, as I made a putt of about 80' (according to Dustin). I had a drive hole-high but close to the tee for #9. I had to stand right behind a large tree and was just trying to lag it close to the hole and I watched as it floated closer and closer to the hole and then BANG it went in!! It was amazing!!

Dustin had a long putt on hole #23, from under a tree about 70' feet away and he also tried to just get it close... but I watched as it just kept going and going and then hit right off the chains and pole and fell in for a birdie. If he hadn't hit it, it would have gone by for a long, long ways.

Round:
First 9 including 8A:
S - 5, 4, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 3, 4, 6 = +7
D - 3, 5*, 4, 4, 4, 5, 4, 4, 3, 3 = +9

* Not including penalty shot for being above 10 meters

Holes 10-19 (minus closed holes):
S - 2, 5, 3, C, C, C, C, 2, 3, 4 = +8
D - 4, 5, 2, C, C, C, C, 3, 3, 3 = +11

Holes 20-27
S - X, 3, 4, 5, 5, 3, 3, 4 = +14
D - 3, 4, 3, 2, 4, 3, 3, 4 = +13

Overall it was a lot of fun to play Santa Cruz with Dustin and I look forward to playing with more Moraga folks over the summer.
