The golf tournament at Torrey Pines over the past week was a big success! I have a ton a great pictures which I will be adding a little later, but I had to at least post this one. Mind you, they do not allow cameras or cell phones in the event so I had to sneak some pictures! This is the a par three and the green is surrounded by the ocean and a canyon in the back, so it's the green or nothing:) I will be posting more a little later for those who are interested. This is a big draw to the La Jolla and San Diego community...this year sales were a little down, but I truly do not think this all because of Tiger, but the economy. Tiger didn't play last year, but the attendance was much higher. The good news is with Tiger's absence, this gave other players a chance to compete f
or the $954,000 prize!

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is an icon in the San Diego area.

Located along the 5 freeway, it is impossible for the Church of Latter Day Saints to not grab your attention as you drive north or south in La Jolla, but it can also be seen from many of the area hilltops, including Mt. Soledad in La Jolla.
While I have seen it countless times from a distance, I have often wanted to stop by and take photos, but never took the time to do so. Today was the day, as I was showing La Jolla condos right across the street.
It is a stunning piece of architecture, as you can see from the pics.
Enjoy some other views of the Temple.

This week my mom had to go to see her doctors down @ the Scripps Green Hospital, in La Jolla, California. She is blessed to have some of the finest physicians take care of her in the area. The interesting part is that Scripps Green overlooks the Torrey Pines Golf Course which is where the PGA Plays offs are being held.
Oh, by the way my mom thinks that she saw Tiger Woods at State Farms Insurance Open. So, I will be making and eye appointment.
I would like to acknowledge the following doctors --- that have provided her with excellent care. Thank you.
Dr. Meri McMann (Cardiologist)
Dr. Sarnoff (Pulmonary)
Dr. Redfield (Infectious diseases)
Dr. Kozak ( General Practice and now ER Doctor)
Dr. Curtis (ACID)
Dr. Strum ( Colon)
Dr. Joe (Eyes)
Dr. Nguyen ( Eyes)
Dr. Soo (Skin)
The second half of Scripps Green.
Scripps Green has two sides one is the Green side.
This is the walking track that is associated with the preventive medicine department.

I'm heading back out to volunteer today to shuttle the players from the putting green to the driving ranges. Wow, what a blast. I have been able to meet some very top golfers. Here are some pictures from yesterday...it will be a beautiful day today! This is me and Paul Goydos and one below with Lee Elder and KUSI weather guy, Dave Scott.

I went to Torrey Pines Golf Course in La Jolla yesterday for my volunteer's party and to collect my San Diego Open garb (formally The Buick Invitational) and now the tournament is named...at least for this year "The Farmers Insurance Open". They didn't have time to put the new sponsor on my Callaway pull over jacket, so this one might be a collectors item!! How cool is that! Well at lease we have a sponsor (it took 7 months and two weeks), but we have a sponsor! 
Anyway, when I was walking to the party along the 9th hole on the South Course I noticed that a bunch of trees were down from the big storms last week and heavy wind and rains. I am sure by the time the whole tournament gets underway they will hopefully be restored or taken out, but really sad to see the trees in this condition. I knew it was a hell of a storm, but I was shocked to see what it did to the beautiful trees! See the pictures below and take a look! I will be volunteering for the week, so will keep everyone posted on the behind the scenes scoop! I will be taking the plays back and forth (via golf cart shuttle) from the putting greens to the driving ranges. I did it last year and had a blast...oh and got my Dad 35 signatures from some of the top golfers. Tiger will be missed this year, but he wasn't here last year either. My how things have changed in less than 2 years from the 2008 U.S. Open!
