Okay, so it wasn’t an actual “sick” day golf since I took a PTO. Calling in sick would have been more adventurous and daring, but look people, I am somewhat of a responsible old person now! The rain caught up to us by the last couple of holes, but it wasn’t bad enough to deter us from finishing the wonderful round. I will take golf in the rain any day over a day in the office! In fact… I’ll probably take golf in the rain over just about anything in life, except for golf in the sun…
01/19/2012: Cinnabar Hills GC- amazing amazing amazing course!!! And very very far.
01/19/2012: Lunch. The food, both breakfast and lunch, were very delicious. Cool part was ordering the food right off the golf cart!
01/19/2012: Twas a cold and rainy day, but my golf mittens and beer was a big help (mittens- physically, beer- mentally).

01/19/2012: Post post golf celebration- south bay style! @ VIP.
As part of Earth Day as well as Michigan Community Service day, the AAUM headed down to Half Moon Bay to pick up trash at one of the beaches. They were surprisingly (and somewhat disappointingly) really dirty! There was trash everywhere and our bags got full really quick. Some went back for second bags… I… was content with just one. But to be fair, it was one each of the recycle bag and the trash bag!
After all our hard work, the group headed over the Half Moon Bay Brewing Company close by and enjoyed some drinks and appetizers. The beach clean up was really a great event. It attracted a mixture of alums, and who doesn’t like walking up and down the beach on a perfect Saturday morning?
As I was about to leave, I got a call from WJ hyung asking if I wanted to go to HMB! When I told him I was already here, he said they were heading to HMB Brewing Co., haha. Instead of sitting at the table by myself for 30 mins while waiting for them, I hit some balls at a nearby golf range and came right back to start part II of HMB.
I continued my birthday celebration over the weekend with golf at Stonetree GC in Novato, CA Saturday morning. I was a little nervous due to the way I was hitting balls at the range on Thursday, but was secretly hoping I had taken the rust off a bit and would hit better on Saturday. Nope. I played the entire course like I was hitting at the range… note to self, go to the range more. It was a beautiful course on a beautiful day nevertheless (with the exception of the cold front that crept up on us in the final two holes), and a day spent golfing is a day spent well. Thanks Chris for golf! And beer! And the hot dogs!
Back at home we prepared for the birthday house party. Guests quickly trickled in and I went from sober to… not so sober a little too fast. Let’s not drink so fast from now on, yah? Thanks to all who made it to the party, hopefully I gave you some alcohol and didn’t drink everything by myself!
After defeating death Sunday morning and afternoon, it was birthday dinner time at Local Kitchen! It was the perfect venue, primarily because some of us were starving to death and it was all-you-can-eat pizza night! Thanks everybody for a delicious dinner!
