2016-17 D1 Women's soccer thread!!!

Ive probably played a hundred rounds of golf there.
I'll tell you a true story that happened on the par 4 8th hole on the north course.
It was an early round, as we always played early back then.
It was circa 1999, or thereabouts, and it was a typical fall morning. Cool, sunny, and the air was crisp, and an offshore headwind on the tee, blowing toward the ocean.
I teed the ball low, facilitating a piercing ball flight, under the breeze.
I stood over the ball, waggled my Taylor "burner" 9 degree a couple times, made my turn, and let the club blast through the hitting zone.
The contact was solid.
One of my favorite holes on the north course, and it seemed I always hit a great drive on this hole.
its a long hole, and its pretty wide open, at least it was then, and a big drive is key in scoring.
The shot took off from the back tee box, and before it lazered past the lady's tee box, a tiny bird, barely bigger than the ball, flew from left to right, directly into the path of the ball.
An explosion, feathers, greenish and white, and a little "pop".
The ball made it past the lady's tee box, but unfortunately, the little bird, (most likely a warbler or gnat catcher) did not.
I took a bogey, and a sense of wonder to the turn.
Not the best round ever, but I did live an impression on at least one of God's tiniest creatures that day.
 
Have you ever seen the pro shop?
Nope, the courses I have played in Monterrey are Poppy Hills, Spyglass, and Bayonet and Black Horse Golf Course. When my DD leaves for college and I start swinging the sticks again...I will play Pebble Beach and Spanish Bay.

Spyglass is my all time favorite and I have played all the best courses up there, including Pebble, The Preserve and Monterey Peninsula Shore Course, all for free. What a country.

So you birdied that hole?
 
Ever played Cypress Point?
Ive played some great courses, but have not played much up north.
When I played team golf for a local mens club, I played all the best courses in the San Diego area.
We had a really good team.
The toughest teams were muni sandbaggers from the Chula Vista area.
The cupcakes were some of the more "exclusive" tracks with "ego" handicaps.

I liked Spyglass also, it meanders towards the ocean and then tree lined fairways afterwards. One of my favorite courses I played was Pumpkin Ridge outside of Portland, Oregon and Kapalua in Maui (great ocean views). I am looking forward to playing Chambers Bay in Seattle when my DD moves up there next year.
