17th green with Mt. Bachelor in the background
I was anxious to test a new course, one slightly more difficult than my home track at Mt. Si. The Meadows course at Sunriver wasn’t in great shape yet since the last snow had melted just a couple of weeks ago. But it was a delicious morning; perfect really. I had pretty much the best of High Desert golf: snow-capped mountains in the background, hard fairways and thin air at 4,300 feet elevation. I had a steady albeit unspectacular round ending with an 87.
