Howdy boys and girls! I've been absent most of April (not that anyone noticed) due to a few vacations and several work trips I've taken. I went on a golf trip with some buddies to Myrtle Beach and recently came back from a trip out to San Francisco I made with my girlfriend. I had an incredible time and got some much needed mental relaxation. I took some cell phone pics and wanted to share some of the sights here.

Started off April playing 6 golf courses in 4 days in Myrtle Beach. Here is the 17th hole at TPC, Myrtle Beach:

And my favorite hole at Pawley's Plantation:

After the trip with golf buddies, it was off to beauticul San Francisco with the girlfriend! We ended up hiking/walking a total of 30 miles and biked about 22 miles all throughout the city - great times.

The Golden Gate - it's a bridge, yo

In the interest of equal time, the Oakland Bay Bridge

Alcatraz from the ferry:

All in all, a great time with some great friends! I look forward to reading through the boards a bit more that I'm back in town!

I am a norcal fan, too. Fortunately I get there fairly often on biz and since my daughter lives out there it is even better. Next trip is end of May, and we'll get a day in Napa, too. There is a lot to do; in the winter it's a run to Tahoe for skiing!

Great photos. The Golden Gate bridge is one of my favorite US Landmarks. I've been there a few times and I just love it. Looks like you had an awesome month!

Nice trip, and love SF. Trouble is, I never seem to make it out of town to the surrounding areas.

Ahh, nice getaway! I've actually golfed at Hilton Head Sea Pines and my daughter lives in San Francisco so been out there a few times lately - lots to do. Congrats on the time off.

Didn't miss much on the forum - just the usually ranting ! ha! :lol:

Really nice pics Ian, congrats on the getaway. Wished I could imitate you. I miss norcal, so many things to do and see in the area...
