Perhaps it is the subdued skill and athleticism required to master the game. Or maybe it is the colorful clothes associated with play. Whatever the reason, I have become a fan of golf. In fact, I sometimes find myself glued to the television watching the sport on weekends, unable to turn away.

rated restaurant. Offering classic French, along with seasonal selections and California eclectic fare, the establishment is wrapped in a rustic, Spanish-styled building, surrounded by lush gardens and a trickling fountain. For dinner at El Bizcocho, a friend and I enjoyed Hamachi sushi, with butternut squash puree, along with chilled Maine lobster and avocado for appetizers.

Diego’s best restaurant’s, I booked a morning massage at the resort’s The Spa at Rancho Bernardo Inn. Here beneath the hands of a skilled masseuse, I found complete relaxation with a deep tissue treatment. After the rub down, I grabbed a book and found one of many secluded garden nooks, where I spent the morning in perfect tranquility.
