Los Lagos at Costa Mesa Country Club presented a challenge with the wind, the length of the course, and those long par-3s.  It was a test of accuracy and club choice, and out of the 5 par-3 holes, only 3 players were successful in hitting the green on their tee shot.​  Karen impressed her playing partners as she gripped and ripped it.  While they say you “drive for show and putt for dough”, Karen managed to do both!  Well, kind of….Paul teased her relentlessly for being “cheap” and not joining the $2.00 side bet for low putts.  Turns out, she would’ve tied Steve and Nancy with an impressive 26 putts!  With no birdies for the first 13 holes, and thirsty for some birdie shots, the group agreed that a par on the long par-5, hole #14, would be worthy of a celebratory shot of Amaretto.  Well, Steve came to the rescue with a par. Their group also saw a coyote walking away with its prey in its mouth, probably on its way to eat undisturbed. And what about Dee and Geri?  They impressed the guys by consistently sending their balls straight down the middle of the fairway---a novel concept to many men, who seem to prefer the scenic route through the trees.  While Melanie battled her way to an 11 on hole #18, Sats quietly and unassumingly rolled in for par.  Congratulations to Ron Y and Lillian who will "share" $116.00, both placing 2nd low net in their flights and each winning a skin.

Everyone commented on how much they enjoyed the pairings, having a  great mix of skill, laughs, and good vibes amongst their foursomes. Having that beautiful Southern California weather also made for a more enjoyable round at Los Lagos!​

See everyone at Mesa Linda on August 17th!!
