La Quinta - Mountain Course

Today was our last day in Palm Desert. So to take advantage of the sunny weather - Scott and I played another round of golf. Through Stand By Golf - we were able to get a tee time at La Quinta on the Mountain Course. First we stopped at Lumpy's Golf Store - I had to buy some more balls since I lost all of mine yesterday. So, with a brand new dozen of balls, Scott's parents dropped us off at the course. We were paired with two women - Heidi (from Germany) and Karin (from Massachusettes) - they are sisters. The first hole was brutally difficult!! The second hole not much better!! In fact, I had a terrible game! The greens were all elevated and very hard to keep the ball on! However, the course is just absolutely fantastic!! As it's name implies, the course is built around the mountains - in fact, one of my tee shots ended up half way up the mountainside!! Again, I lost alot of balls - 6 of my new balls!!

Scott's parents picked us up and we went to the Beer Hunter to watch the Leafs/New Jersey hockey game - Leafs won in the shoot out. Tomorrow we check out and drive to Vegas - where we catch the red-eye back to Toronto - back to the snowy cold weather. I can't wait to pick up our Ginger Kitty - we miss her so much!!
