Sonoma National Golf Club - Sonoma, CA
I managed to sneak in a round of golf during my vacation to Wine Country, CA at Sonoma National Golf Club. Sonoma National is a very nice course that winds around the vineyards of Sonoma Valley. I played relatively well considering I played with rental clubs which I normally hit very poorly. I drove almost every fairway and played well around the greens. However, my iron play from 125-150 was horrible, verging on the shanks. I will chalk this mostly up to the unfamiliarity with the rental irons and move on. My one birdie opportunity was a result of 145 yard 9 iron approach shot from the center of the fairway that I stuck and stopped within 5 feet of the pin and drained the birdie putt.
