Darkhorse, California

Golfed at Darkhorse golf course, about 45 minutes outside of Sacramento, on the hottest day there. Yikes. Good thing cart with GPS was mandatory. It made the experience a bit better. I didn't bring my clubs as the US security would have scrutinize every golf balls I brought over. Take my word! Make sure you have locks with TSA feature enabled. Otherwise, the locks on your luggage would be cut for closer examination. Go figure.... Back to golf.

I got this rental set with stiff R7 irons and a collections of driver, 3 wood and 5 wood. The irons, I think I will get some myself, the woods.... umm.... they were various types of regular shafts; that was the cause of my game..... If I were to have my own putter and the woods, I would have easily cut down at least 10 strokes. My final score, 99, same as my future father-in-law. Ummm.... coincidence?

The course was lovely; short from the white tees; the challenging part was on the green. Tricky. The course was hilly, sand traps were strategically well located. And the lips were high. Expect to take a penalty shot if you get in there.

Service from the club house was excellent! Beat the crap out of the Regina city run courses!
