2026 Silverado - Day #2


Moving slow, we eventually got organized and drove over to the main lodge. We had breakfast at Market & Bakery. We all had bacon breakfast burritos.

After hitting the driving range, we teed off at 9:50 am. I felt like I was making good contact, but pushing everything left on driving range.

I rode with Jack. Although Jack's handicap is at leat 10 strokes better than mine, we decided to play straight up skins.

I had a solid start, but fell apart on the third hole. After a great drive and a nice second shot, I chipped back and forth over the green four times and ended up taking a 12. I struggled with my chipping for much of the day. I had a number of nice chips, but also butchered a number of other attempts.

Looking back at my tracked shots on Goftshot Pro, there is a lot to feel good about. My chipping and putting killed me. I had four or five opportunities where I could have taken the hole, but couldn't make the put. The final score was Jack with 13 skins and Sharon with 5. I halfed a four holes but didn't take a skin.

It was a fairly fast round. We finished in under four hours and 15 minutes.

We grabbed sandwiches and wraps at the Market and Bakery and then headed back to the Condo. Over the course of a lazy afternoon, we watched episode four of Survivor 50 on the AppleTv. Sharon went to the pool, while Jack and I watched NCCA basketball.

Catching an Uber, we went to dinner at Ad Hoc in Yountville. The entree was flank steak with green beans. I was surprised the meal included a cheese course.

Catching an Uber back to the condo, we crashed before 10 pm.
