Pacific Exchange
At some point in every trader's life -- well, most every trader's life -- there comes the time when he faces the loss of youth, loss of freedom,loss of self-centered bliss, and must countenance the prospect of becoming...a father. And if you're like most men, you might chooseto respond to the notion of impending parenthood by...fleeing.

Not permanently, mind you; nothing good comes of that. Just for a last-hurrah long weekend in which you and the missus fly off for what will ostensibly be a final romantic jaunt but, in actuality, if you play your cards right, will prove the perfect storm of golf, fine cuisine and 400-thread-count sheets. This, a few months back, was my situation, and thus my choice of destination was clear:

I (and my extremely pregnant wife) would set off for San Francisco,the golf-and-cuisine-and-culture capital of the world, with the clock ticking toward my own personal closing bell, creeping ever closer to the End of the World as We Knew It.

Side Trips
Golf in the Bay Area
Good things happen in the Bay Area. There's something about the very air out there that seems to give rise to great discoveries. It's the birthplace of Apple, Google, Screaming Eagle -- and Pasatiempo. I know, what about Pebble? But if it's my afternoon off, Pebble Beach is only my second-favorite public-access choice in and around San Francisco (nudging out the delightful muni Harding Park). Those famous ocean fairways have gotten a little too crowded with guys trying a little too hard to impress their clients for my taste. Alister Mackenzie's stunner in surf-mad Santa Cruz, on the other hand, is just about perfect. Playing just 6,511 yards from the tips, Pasatiempo may be short, but as you may have heard, length isn't everything.
