Poppy Hills

Spending the night at an Airbnb in downtown Pacific Grove, Holly, Van, Sharon and I played Poppy Hills Golf Course. It was a bizarre round. It was probably the best that I have ever felt on the driving range. Unfortunately, I was very inconsistent once we got on the course.

We teed off at 11:50 am. The course was very nice; the fairways were in great shape. Overall, it wasn't as hard as I expected it to be. Although I didn't par a hole, I bogeyed six holes. I was in seven greenside bunkers, but was very successful in getting out. I made an absolute mess of several of the par fives.

I ended up with a very liberally scored 108. After we finished at Poppy Hills, we drove to the Pebble Beach Lodge and had a drink at The Bench. Sitting outside, we had a great view of the 18th fairway and the ocean.

The four of us finished the day with dinner at Wild Fish in Pacific Grove. From my perspective, it was not a good experience. We had a 7:30 pm reservation. They seated us in the bar for 30 minutes before they took us to a table. Sharon and I spilt a ceviche; it was not good. I had swordfish and risotto as an entree, while Sharon had sablefish. My entree was not good...
