Following dinner, we drove north over the Golden Gate bridge to Santa Rosa. Our friend Andrew had set us up at Mayacama Golf Club for Thursday and Friday night.
After a few glasses of wine, all four of us crashed...hard. With two of the club owned casitas, we all had a big comfortable bed to pass out in. Golf the next morning was not until 11am so we all got some much needed sleep.
Mayacama is awesome. A terrific Jack Nicklaus design that has found it's way in to the top 100. The experience was awesome, staying on property, playing golf, having a few bottles of wine with a few members and just the place in general. To give you an idea of what Mayacama is like....the members share golf lockers but they each have their very own wine locker in the basement of the clubhouse.
The golf course was immaculate too. Not a blade of grass out of place. I finally played well too. Shot 1 under 36 on the front and 1 over on the back for an even par 72. Last round of the trip was my best...good way to go out.
After a wild night in Santa Rosa (we can get in trouble anywhere), we left midday today to drive to Lake Tahoe. The drive to Tahoe is roughly 3 hours and every inch of it is uphill. The temperature dropped 35 degrees from when we had left Santa Rosa.
We are staying with one of Mike's high school friends for the next few nights. We will ski at the Squaw Valley resort tomorrow before we head to Sun Valley on Monday.
Check out a few pics from Olympic and a few pics from Mayacama below.
Thanks as always for reading and wish me luck on the slopes tomorrow!

By the way...that wraps up the golf portion of the trip. I played 21 rounds and Mike played 19. Totally unbelievable. Thanks to all our hosts and thanks to Peter Millar for outfitting us with golf clothes!!!
