November Golf

November is usually the worst month to be hanging out in Vancouver. Winter weather starts to roll in and which brings rain, rain, and more rain. The mountains are not open yet, or if they are its only the bunny runs. Basically you are stuck inside unless you like to walk around in cold rain.

Luckily the sun decided to come out on two weekends this year which allowed me to play a couple rounds at the pitch and putt just down the street from me in Stanley Park. The course is a full 18 holes with each hole being a par 3 and for $14.50 a round, its a pretty good deal for golf in Vancouver. Generally on nice days the course is very busy in the afternoons, especially in the summer months. It takes forever to do a round on a saturday afternoon in the middle of summer. The best times to go are sunday mornings or during a week day.  Luckily in November it isn't as popular, regardless both times I met friends at about 10 in the morning to start the day off  right. The course still had the morning dew and by the end of the round there were some wet shoes. I lost both games but I had one good round for me with a score of 69, +15!
Below are some  photos I took with my phone

Lining up my shot



This was on the 10th hole, just yesterday. When the ball landed it created a giant splash.  There was no way I could even hit the ball it was completely below the surface. Course is a bit wet Lately
