Congrats!

Awesome man.

Bagpiper comes around 6. The Patio will be cold. Bundle up. Roy's is right next to it and protected from wind.

We are walking Poppy Sunday morning. But playing Black horse on Saturday after 2. $54 riding.
Hell I'll cover your green fees and beer. Let me know if you wanna play. I just have a 2 some. My buddy gorilla and I. The boy who started the MISIG craze.

Gonna end up playing 6 rounds of golf this weekend.

Alright, finally back home from an awesome trip to SF, Sonoma, and Monterey.

Pebble Beach was more awesome then I could have imagined. Very glad I sacked up and paid for it!

Had a 6:40 tee time to which we did not get there early enough to warm up which was a big mistake. With having two bulged discs in my lower back, I have to get a good warmup/stretch or else my play in the colder weather is horrible. Even with having the worst ball striking day in two years, it was still worth every penny.

We got a cart so my now fiancee could ride along, which I walked about half the course, mainly to the green from approach shots and some tee shots to second shots. Unfortunately I can't carry a bag for 18 holes anymore.

I did get my forecaddie fee refunded becuase the pro shop only told the caddie that the threesome I was paired with had paid for it (they arrived earlier) and caddie did not know I paid for it. After hole 7, I got tired of hearing responses to my questions being "the 150 stick is right there", "you can see the flag from here", the distance is on the score card", so I had to confront him and ask if he knew I paid. After that he was very helpful and then told the shop to refund my charge.

Hole 1 - Aim left! I had a buddy that I was messaging who had played alot texted me this about 5 mins after tee shot... which I had aimed left cause I definitely sliced it into the crap right
Hole 4 - finally had a playable second shot after tee shot... albeit was a couple feet from going right into the water. This was the hole that I felt got the first stunning pebble beach view
Hole 5 - found the green... then 3 putted
Hole 6 - probably my favorite hole to play. Driver then 4 iron and barely made it over the hill... awesome views
Hole 7 - so cool in person... didn't know I could ever yank an 85 yard shot that far left...
Hole 8 - probably the best second / approach shot in golf
Holes 9, 10, 11 - crazy stunning views
Hole 10 - first par of the day! took a while
Hole 11 - had a temporary green but glad the caddie finally started giving advise with the blind tee shot
Hole 14 - temp seemed to drop 20 degrees but got out of this tough hole with a bogey!
Hole 15 - nearly hit a deer with my topped drive...
Hole 16 - very cool approach shot to green, even avoided the big tree in the way!
Hole 17 - birdie! stuck a 5 iron to 10 ft and made a putt.. I love this game again, i'm back baby!
Hole 18 - as cool in person as you think... don't want to even count how many strokes it took to put the ball in hole haha

We had a nice lunch at one of the restaurants over looking the 18 green which I highly suggest everyone to do. The pro shop clothing is very overpriced... highly suggest people go to the shop a couple stores down where they have like Adidas type gear and clothing pricing was more normal. Proud of myself to get out of there for under $200!

Took the 17 mile drive all the way around after lunch and back to the hotel in Monterey. For dinner we went to the patio at Spanish Bay, sat by the firepits, and had cocktails and cheese board while listening to the bagpiper play. Was a pretty cool moment.

Definitely want to come play Spanish Bay next time I come, it looked every bit as cool as Pebble from where we walked around at.

Ate a Vesuvio in Carmel the night before, good italian restaurant with great Pizza. If its in your budget, stay in Carmel and not Monterey.

Everywhere seemed pretty relaxed about the mask policy... SF, Healdsburg/Sonoma, Monterey/Carmel all seemed to act like they do here in Houston so it wasnt a big deal.

Can't wait to come back!

I sold my Dogecoin too soon or else we'd be planning our wedding here! lol
