Montaup Country Club - Massacre

Big Day of firsts at Montaup:

• First double birdie opening 9 (that I can remember)
• First time being even after 10 holes (36 out) - greatest 10 hole streak ever
  
• First time I managed three triples on the back en route to 14 over
• First time I shot an 85 in a long time (36/49)

Consistent golf is boring I guess...

Good pic of the 5th


Pic of 16th well into the massacre - good view of the Mt. Hope Bridge

Holy Ghost Feast 2008

Adam and Rita warmed up to the feast once they saw the crown.


The Cacoila was great... and I was pumped about the $2 beers until I found out they were O'Doul's. Right - alcohol.



Crowds were pretty intense at 9pm for the food.


Rounded out the night with quick runs to the Tipsy Seagull and Flaunt. Tipsy Seagull is a new bar in the Borden Light Marina opened by Councilor Michael Lund - solid spot and good summer addition for folks who need a good bar with temporary moorage.

Coyote Creek - Best Bet for SES SJ Golf

Coyote Creek was pretty dialed. Sean (vids of Sean's scratch golf swing below) got things going for a 6:50 tee time on the Jack Nicklaus designed tournament course. Crushed out a 4-over 39 on the front and began questioning whether I was really a 15.8. The back 9 of the tournament course provided clarity where I went 13 over with a strong triple-triple finish.


But get this - they have a replay rate of $30. After a 48 on the back, I thought about calling it a day... but then I thought about what BCollins would do - he'd rally and play the back... which is what I did (7 & 9 over). Best deal is Fridays $99 all you play and eat. Sean's clinic on 17 is below:

SES San Jose 2008 Food: La Victoria Taqueria - 1st Stop

So Nick Berliner - SEO guru at Marchex and in my mind what would be the product of a Seth Godin/Bobby Flay gene splicing project came up with the following list of Sips and Eats for SES San Jose.

I immediately jumped on Mexican when I got here and hit up La Victoria Taqueria



"Hey, that photo sucks" Yup, I'm a terrible photographer, but it does capture the important parts of La Victoria (1) not a chain (2) decent sized burrito for 6 bones and (3) orange sauce that makes everything taste awesome. This place is key for when the road budget is running low.

How good is it? Well, it's not El Tarasco from my El Segundo days and it could be on par with Tacos Guaymas/Bluewater in Seattle. I can't make that call yet because the burrito was just above average. My sense is tacos are the way to go and sometime this week I'm crushing down chorizo and few more meats with orange sauce.
