I write sports for a newspaper and I have covered numerous golf tournaments this season. However, I had never been to an actual golf match because most of the matches are held outside of CA, hence I usually write stories based on the statisitcs I receive and the interviews I conduct.
Luckily for me, there was a dual match between UCLA and USC at Los Angeles Country Club. The enthusiastic reporter that I am, I jumped on the opportunity to go and watch the match. I have to say that both teams wildly dislike one another, of course, that does not effect the respect they present towards each other.
The teams don't matter much when the tournament is held at LACC. THe Los Angles Country Club is the huge country club you see on your right when you pass Beverly Hilton on Wilshire. It's humongous and it's beautiful. Let me let you in on a few more fact: Lionell Richie, Nicole Richie's dad, has a house practically attached to the golf course. Chris O'Donnel, I dont really know who that is exactly, also lives by there. And most importantly the Playboy mansion is pretty much on the golf course. You could hear noises of animals coming from that side of the course.
Moreover, you could probably find every whealthy middle aged perverted person in the world hanging out there ordering vodka from Ramon who went around the huge golf course maybe one million times serving drinks to the country club members and the golfers.
Disregarding the members of the club, the picture on the top doesn't do justice to how beautiful the whole golf course is. I spent about five hours there and I must admit it was really enjoyable. THe whether was beautiful and I got much better feel for the game of golf.
