Upon arriving to Bandon Dunes it is imperative as a member of the PGA to be very organized. If you bring a group of people on a trip like this, especially if they are as diverse as the group that i brought, you must be organized. There is nothing that screams organization like putting the tee times on a bar napkin. Our first round of golf was at Pacific Trails and the Chamber of Commerce couldn't have asked for a better day. I think it was in the 70's and i know it was sunny. All the boys got their faces burnt. If you ever come up here i recommend getting massage after your round of golf by Camille. It is a day later and i still haven't come down from the high. This place is amazing. Words and pictures don't do the location justice. The staff is amazing and we have a great group of guys on this trip. These are a few photos of the round of golf. By the way it was Steve Bernard's birthday, so he is the one wearing the goofy hat on the first tee. What a trooper...get it?
From right to left we have Alex Pecel, John Burton, Bernard Chang, Randy Bragdon, Jason Goode, Steve Marks, Walt Krego, Regis Malone trying to hide in the back, Ben Delgadillo, Steve Bernard the birthday boy, Mark Savage, Craig Cliver, and Dennis Junker. We all shared that one set of clubs, Kemper priviledges. It was quite confusing having a Steve and a Bernard and a Steve Bernard on the trip. It was quickly realized that to get anything done we were just going to have to call S.B. "Nardo."




This was the scene of the first day. I can't believe i even brought rain gear and it looks like on our final day the day will be the same. This was the weather for the first two days so far. It looks just like L.A. The creature on the right is called a deer. He really didn't care that i was there. I hope everbody gets to have this type of experience in whatever they consider their hobby.
