Did You Know?

If you are a golfer like yours truly, you must play the Poplar Creek Golf Course. This course went through a full remodel in 2000 and today it averages over 70,000 rounds a year, making it one of the most popular golf courses in Northern California.
 
So Poplar Creek is not the prettiest of courses it’s pretty flat. Crystal Springs, in Burlingame, is a MUCH nicer course. Should we move the thought of a golf course to Burlingame?
