The Loma Club and Coronado Beach

Today we golfed at The Loma Club 3-par course. The site is over 100 years old and used be a country club and then was a navy training center in the 1920s. The course is just a few block from our hotel in the city so the nine holes are smushed into a very small space. This was nice because the fairways all sloped towards the middle so that if your ball went a little to the left or right, it rolled back to the center. We managed to miss all the sand bunkers although once my ball hit in a bunker and then bounced out! I think it hit the side where there wasn't much sand.

After golfing we drove to Coronado across San Diego Bay and had lunch and then drove south checking out the beaches. We went as far south as Imperial Beach, which is just about 7 miles north of the Mexican border. The town was pretty and the beach nice, except they had warnings because of sewage in the water. So we didn't stay there very long. We drove back up to Coronado and went to the beach in town. It is very pretty with a wide flat beach and some nice waves, although the surfers out in the water weren't really catching many good surfing waves.
