Whereabouts are you in the Bay?

I live in the South Bay, near San Jose.  My wife and I like it here, but I know what you mean about a better quality of life out in Rocklin.  I grew up in Redding, CA which probably has a similar feel that Rocklin has.

One of the friends that we've met in the 6+ years we've been in Rocklin actually grew up in that area (Anderson, I believe). He was always talking about it being more of a hick town (no offense meant). I've spent some time up in Redding, and actually go to Fall River Mills for an annual golf trip (talk about remote!). Anyway, Rocklin has actually become quite a little bedroom community. I'm not sure that it's suburbia or bust for me, but it would take a heck of a lot for us to move from here.

Can't say I've played all that many courses in the South Bay. I did play Riverside once, a long time ago. Funny, I was just imagining a SBG golf outing. Can you image a bunch of drunken bald guys getting their domes rubbed by some hot beer cart girls? Chuckle Chuckle.

By the way, I was told that one of our beer cart girls is an ex-stripper. To that I replied, "No such thing....once a stripper, always a stripper".

She has a gorgeous figure and not much of a personality. I'm sure she has some type of personality, but it's probably hard to show it when everyone's undressing her with their eyes.

Yeah, Redding is a hick town, but it has changed quite a bit over the last couple of years. 

The Fall River Mills course is a nice course.  My dad plays there a couple times a year.

INTERESTING PHENOMENA.....

I encountered when I moved to Fort Lauderdale, FL from the L.A. area in So. California.  Some of you may be aware of it.

I grew up in So. Calif.  Played quite a bit of golf and generally opted for the 9-hole option.  I just never liked being on a course for 18 holes, so my buddies and I would do the front 9 or back nine.  (The very first course ever carved out in America [Catalina Island], you go twice around...just from different tee positions).

Anyway, I always thought it was a given and left the 18 holes to the die hards.  Well, I move to South Florida and the subject of golf came up at my new place of business and I suggested we do 9 holes.  And everybody looked at me like I was from another planet.  "9 holes?......what the...?"

Is anyone else aware of this?  Anybody know where the demarkation line is here in the U.S.?  Here in Denver the 9-hole option is alive and well.

Head to Palm Springs and it's mostly 18 hole playing.  You would think that with 130+ courses in one area that there would be more 9 hole playing, but I guess the demand is there for 18 holes.

There is a reason why they called it "golf" not "par," all the other four-letter words were taken ;D

GOLF stands for "Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden".....except for ex-stripper beer cart girls.
Palm Springs....make sure you make a side trip to Palm Desert. "The Beer Hunter" right on Hwy 111 is a great sports bar. I've played a lot of golf down there. Let me know if you need any further info.

Yeah, Palm Desert is where most of the courses are.  I tend to lump the two places together.

I heard about "The Beer Hunter" when I was there at Thanksgiving.  Unfortunately, I was already at the Yard House, another great place for beer, when I heard about it.
