2025 San Francisco - Day #2 - Presidio Golf Course

The plan for the day was golf at the Presidio Golf Course. I played this course twice before: once with Sharon and Jack in July of 2023 and again in August of 2023 with Jack, Ryan and Jason.

After breakfast at the Lodge at the Presidio, we headed to the golf course. It was literally less than five minutes away. We had a 10:30 am tee time.

Warming up on the driving range, I felt great. Unfortunately, I got off to a horrible start and struggled all day. I felt like I was never on flat ground; the ball was always above or below my feet. My putting was terrible. I ended up picking up and not finishing several holes. After playing pretty well at Hiddenbrook on Wednesday, it was very disappointing.

Then, on the long par five 18th, I drove three shots straight down the middle of the fairway, chipped to the middle of the green and two putted for a bogey. What an odd game...


The four of us took advantage of the wine and cheese reception in the lobby. Getting cleaned up, we headed to dinner. Based on a recommendation from a high school classmate, Sharon made a 7 pm reservation at Sotto Mare in North Beach.

We ended up taking a driverless Waymo rather than an Uber! It was an interesting experience. Holly described it as a Disney ride. The car was clean and comfortable. The Waymo moved at a much more relaxed pace than the Uber drivers that we usually experience. I was very impressed.

We had a very nice dinner. All of us had a blue cheese wedge and crab cioppino for dinner. I also had a couple of oysters.

After dinner, we wandered around the area for a little while. We caught a Waymo back to the lodge. We finished the night sitting in the lobby talking about the plan for Friday. I am trying to get the group to do some of the San Francisco Doublecross Trail.
