Since our tee time was not available (booked for 09:30), we decided to practice driving at the Pruneridge Golf Club. When we arrived at 09:00, the parking lot was already getting quite full.

I was excited when Tony invited me to play golf at Pruneridge Golf Club . Although I took golf lessons many years ago and played miniature golf multiple times, I have never played a real game of golf.

In the morning, we quickly packed and headed to beautiful North Lake Tahoe at around 8:00 a.m. There was very little traffic on Highway I-680 and I-80, and we arrived in Truckee (just west of Lake Tahoe) at 11:30 a.m. (a 3.5-hour drive). Since we were hungry and tired from the long drive, we ate lunch at Marty's Cafe - a well-rated restaurant on Yelp. There was a long wait to be seated (as the restaurant was…
