Given its reputation, we decided to take the challenge . It was a day when the weather was teasing us all through the game with drizzle and overcast skies, yet our enthusiasm for the game overcame all weather problems. We could not spot our ball when we were on the 18th green, it was 5:20pm (the group we were following were sort of slow).

The view from 13th hole is spectacular. You can also take a virtual tour from the following link .

Here are some photos of Callippe, including a rainbow...

Preamble

3 desperate golfers or 3 hopeless golfers ? We will find out very soon...

But first we wanted to capture our golf experience in California and write about them . We all started playing golf in the fall of 2005. Its Jan 2007 and we still suck, but we suck to a lesser degree now (we would like to believe).

In these months, we have come to believe that GOLF is a game of constant learning and frustration, with few moments of joy which keeps us coming back for more. That solid drive... that mystic birdie... that 20 feet putt...
