Golf

by
It’s been a bit of a habit for us to go golfing on Fridays after work but it’s getting dark quick now so I think this might be the last week they’ll stay open late.
I rushed to the course and managed to check in before 6pm. The started gave me a hard time about it and pointed out I had to be out of there before he closed the gate at 7:30pm, but he still let me play.

I am a bit of an expert on finding abandoned golf balls, I think I got that skill from my grandfather who used to walk his dog by the golf course and always picked up lost balls.
Most of the balls I find are not that awesome, some of them are pretty good and a few are really crappy practice balls. Since I still kind of suck at the whole golf thing, I don’t really think it matters what balls I am playing, but everyone else makes fun of me for playing with the practice balls so I hit the range today and got rid of them.

Everyone mark their balls differently so you know which ones is yours when you play in a group. A few months back I started to mark my balls with the date I found them. Let’s see how long it takes before I lose this one!

I’m supposed to be packing for the camping trip this weekend, but packing is boring. Drinking beer is more fun.

Empire of the Sun at Hollywood Bowl

by
Since I made a commitment yesterday, I started the day with a round of golf. Played much better today, just got to shut up and look at the ball!

It’s super hot and I had some time to kill between golf and concert so I headed down to the beach, the water is still super nice!

Picnic at the bowl! Excited to see Empire of the Sun for the first time.

A few of us headed down to the front and danced until we got blisters on our feet.
Flip flops may not be the best concert shoes.

ABBA the Concert at Hollywood Bowl

by
Started the day with a round of golf, played really crappy and came to a decision that it’s time to get real and step it up. Time to get my shit together, concentrate and take it a little more serious.

Had a quick nap in the afternoon and then off to the shuttle bus to Hollywood Bowl!

I’ve seen this show before and they’re not as awesome as the real ABBA, but it’s still a really fun show!

The event wasn’t sold out and I sneaked in to the box seat when no one was looking. I only got to spend one song there though before someone came to kick me out.

Sierra Star Golf Course

I did my first ever round of 18 hole golf today. So fancy, I was told I had to wear a collared shirt.

I had some good holes and some bad holes, lost a few balls in the water but also found a few that someone had left behind, so overall a pretty decent round. I wanna play again!

I was a little tired at the end as someone thought it was a brilliant idea to do shots of rum at 2 am last night. The green grass is also so inviting when you’re used to the concrete jungle!

Cabazon Dinosaurs

by
We stopped by Cabazon Dinosaurs on the way home from Palm Springs. I didn’t even know this park existed. You had to pay a fee to actually get up close to most of the dinos, but we were happy to just hang outside for a bit. 
Came back to LA in the early afternoon and I felt restless after sitting in a car for that long so I went to the range to hit a bucket of balls. It’s been a while, I should do that more often.

Since I couldn’t go ski this weekend I’m trying to up my game of golfing. Still not doing great, lost a ball yesterday.

Golf at Penmar

When you’ve accepted a new job offer and given your notice at your old work, you start to slack off… I took half day off to go golfing.
