For friends, family and the random search engine visitor. This blog started as an experiment in mobile blogging from my Palm TREO 600, 700, Prē, HTC Evo, Samsung 5, Pixel 3, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL. Now it serves as a simple repository of favorite activities. Expect bad golf, good fishing, great sailing, eating, drinking, adventure travel, occasional politics and anything else I find interesting along the way including, but not limited to, any of the labels listed here...

Redecorating the Sharp Park clubhouse


Brad and Gino do a little redecorating in the clubhouse with an illustration providing historical  MacKenzie context.


The illustration is a recreation of the original Sharp Park layout, from Brad Knipstein's "Alister Mackenzie's Legacy of Public Golf at Sharp Park"

8th Green

Four balls on the green:

Four missed birdie putts:.
Four pars.

You'd think there were real golfers in this foursome.

Rick insisted I report that he was closest to the pin.

In the gallery on the 6th fairway


A very pretty garter snake was meandering down the fairway, but it was not THE garter snake. Looks like a juvenile Coast Garter snake. Still the first snake I've ever seen after 20 years playing here. Very cool. After taking his portrait we stayed well clear and let him continue on his way.

Brad found a little trouble on two


The pressure of playing with a new group no doubt.


Not to mention having your round and bad shots live blogged.
