Well, Ok. sports. We like sports in Tahoma: skiing, wake boarding, ice skating, hiking, fishing, mountain climbing, bear hunting(I'm kidding, really). There are a few courses around the lake basin, one right in Tahoe City, owned by , yes, you, the water rate payers. As the Tahoe Water and Sewer PUD explained, the purchase of the golf course was in the best interests of locals, that is, it would prevent a developer from coming in and building something like housing. Who needs more housing anyway?
Hmmmm. Back on topic, sports. A young lad barely 23 years of age, was the winner Sunday of the 2020 PGA Tournament in San Francisco. Before a crowd of 2, the lad performed brilliantly, especially on the final round when the leader board became quite crowded, with many a hopeful focused on the prize($2 mill). Collin Morikawa, did not bend under the pressure. On the par 4 16th hole, he hit a tee shot that rolled within 7' of the pin. He sunk the 2nd shot for an eagle 2. It was his day and he extended his lead to 2 strokes going into 17. He pared 17, and birdied 18 for a clean win over 2nd and 3rd place finishers.
The day at the Lake merced course was typical mid-summer in San Francisco: cool, foggy, with hardly any sunshine excepting in the Mission dist./ Hunters Point. The UC Berkeley grad has been playing golf since he was 8 yrs. old. When at Cal, he was an All-American for 4 years, in itself an amazing accomplishment. He received his bachelor's degree in business from the famous Haas School of Business. So, he might make some good investments, hopefully. Maybe he owns Tesla stock which announced a 5 for 1 stock split today(keeping up with APPLE).
Best wishes to a new star on the links. Additionally, the match on Sunday had the largest audience for a PGA tournament in over 10 yrs.
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
