Groupguest fees include a forecaddie, a golf cart, practice ballsand a Laser-Link rangefinder. Our forecaddie, John, greetedus near our sporty forest-green golf cart. He hopped on theback, and we headed to the Ocean South course.Stepping up to the first hole was the moment of truth.Did I remember my lesson of balance and focus? I tookmy first swing. Strike one. I pretended like I meant to dothat. “Now don’t try to kill it,” John advised. “All you wantto do is make contact. Let the driver do the work.”I took my second swing and made contact. The ballsailed slightly to the right, but overall it wasn’t bad.“Hey, I don’t know who that first guy was,” John said,“but I think that second guy can play!”Then it hit me: I was actually golfing on Pelican Hilland having fun. It was a beautiful day, and the ocean viewswere even more dazzling than anyone had described.Now, when people ask me if I golf, I’ll borrow a linefrom the Dos Equis Most Interesting Man in the World:“I don’t always golf, but when I do, I prefer Pelican Hill.”COURTESY OF PELICAN HILLLuxury Residences Overlooking the Pacific Ocean.First phase now selling from the $800’s.Limited Selection of 15 Luxury New Home Residences3,205 to 3,696 Square FeetUp to 5 Bedrooms & 4 1/2 BathsPrivate Cul-De-Sac HomesitesTimeless Architecture & DesignVia La JollaAvenida CaliforniaPaseo InfinitaSan JuanCapistranoCamino Las RamblasBelle Cliff by Harmony Homes949-910-2077www.BelleCliffHarmony.comText 309680 to 44133 for more information.1Via California100 JULY 2011 OCMETRO.COMHEADLINES IN YOUR HAND | OCMETRO.COM/APPS
