Golfing in California

'Golfer from Secunderabad, India. Looking for golfing partner in Pleasanton, California.'

Like the matrimony ads, Ghumakkad did not have to place such an ad on golfing sites! Because his threesome was already made! Yes, it was such a delight to be golfing in California with Ankur our son-in-law and Nikhil, our grandson. 

We played at a public course, Las Positas Golf Club, Livermore. The greens were top class. Fairways were also used by FootGolf where two people play to hole the football on a different green with a 21-inch hole. Sharing few pictures. We had the company of Bar headed geese and a Deer on the course. Weather was clear with strong breeze. Although a nine-hole course having all par-three holes, it wasn't a cakewalk. I could make only three Pars.

Let the pictures tell their stories. 


Teenager Nikhil, who enters the University shortly, would not walk but run on the golf course. If reminded me of 1989, when I started golf at US Club in Bombay. Being a regular jogger, I used to run between the holes. Nikhil had the company of bar headed geese.  See the pictures below.



Ankur on the 2nd Green.

See the flag in the foreground of the picture below. The cup size is larger for the soccer ball to be holed. Golf green is in upper right of the picture. 

A close up of our surprise visitor.

Golfers are always a happy lot specially when they ride a Cyber Truck!


Thanks for browsing.
More from California coming up.
