The Way They Play Golf in California

We went into the city today, first of all, for me to get a haircut.  I got it cut by Emily McKeever, a friend of Jason's from childhood days in Ann Arbor, who has moved out here.  She is actually very good friends with Lars.  Anyway, after my haircut, [which is very good  by the way], we played golf at Lincoln Park.

This course is beautiful--it is by the Legion of Honor, and the views from it are beautiful, views of the ocean, of Golden Gate Bridge, of the hills of the city.   Old cypress trees surround it.  It's a very old course, and very difficult---no tee boxes, narrow, uneven fairways, alot of long grass, but still so enjoyable.   And, it's not like we're good anyway, so who cares?

What I mean by the golf in California is that this golf course was on a walking path, so there were continually non-golfers on it.  People taking hikes, people just walking, people playing Frisbee with their dogs, people with the children, whatever. ! And none of the golfers cared.   When we were done with 9 holes, we drove our cart around the back nine, interrupting many golfers, and no one cared, no one cared at all.  "Oh, go on through"  "have a good time"

"don't worry about it" we'd hear over and over.   I really like this kind of golfThe course literally went around the Legion of Honor to the other side of the road, then it ambled back.  It was actually quite hard to follow, but hey, who cares!  Not the other golfers!
