Up until this point, the democratic debates haven't been very enlightening as there have been far too many candidates on the stage, so topics got little more than a superficial treatment.

DeLaveaga Golf Course, Santa Cruz
"If this is your first time playing here I hoped you brought lots of golf balls', warned the starter. She then helpfully advised "Don't miss right on the front 9 and don't miss left on the back 9". This is a very enjoyable trek, every hole a different test. We also did well on the … Continue reading DeLaveaga Golf Course, Santa Cruz
Cinnabar Hills (Canyon 9)
Cinnabar Hills is one of my favourite courses in the Silicon Valley. Three very different nine hole courses are available- Lake, Mountain and Canyon. This is a video of the Cannon Nine.
