Blog of Golfing

Blog Results page

We start of the 2019 Federation Memorial Day'ish blog by getting to Palm Desert from Northern California. Some of you traveled a lot further, while others traveled far less. In the latter case, you missed some of the "fun" stuff along I-5.
traffic 1  Road 2
Endless traffic along I-5 (or "The I-5" as the southern CA folks call it). Traffic, cars, traffic, trucks, more traffic and more trucks. For as long as it took to get to Palm Desert. Forever!

Feed lot again
Then there were the cattle feed lots where you needed to turn off the fresh air and close the windows!

The feed lots didn't last too long, but they were brutal! Thank you Harris Ranch!

Yes, this is golf paradise ... of a sort!

Courtyard
Wben we arrived in Palm Desert, we checked into the Courtyard by Marriott using the special rate that LACGC arranged. Thanks, Steve! Our home for the next three days.

More to come tonight. Time for breakfast and then off to the practice round!
