So this weekend I went down to Big Sur and stayed at my friend Dave's house for a bachelor party. His family has a pretty amazing place down there. Tens of acres and a big beautiful house on with amazing views.. While we were down there, we played a round at the Pacific Grove Municipal Golf Course. Wow, did I play great. I still can't believe how well I was playing. My 108+ score may not seem that great, but I have only been on a course once or twice before, so any double bogie is a very good hole for me. The course is very nice, with great views and a I shot an amazing 51 on the front nine and a 58 on the back eight. We were all beginners, so we played very slow. It was so slow that the course marshal made us speed up by skipping a hole on the back nine, so we only got to do 8 holes there. It's a short course, only 5600 yards and a par 70. So my overall was about a +42 or so over 17 holes. The highlight of my day was a 20+ yard chip-in from the fringe once. My short game was great, my putting was very good, and my driving was very good. I don't expect to play that well again. I only had about 3 holes where I had to make 4+ putts. Everyone enjoyed the round, except the unfortunate Mike who got thrown from his golf cart by Alec.

In addition to playing golf, we played a lot of low stakes poker and a variety of different board games, and a few games of Starcraft. Also we had a very nice dinner at Nepenthe. I had a good rare ribeye stake with garlic mashed potatoes. The views are supposed to be amazing, but we got there after dark, so we didn't see much of it.
