The place

Rio Vista sits where the Sacramento River starts thinking about the Bay. The golf club is a small-city course in a place defined by water and wind. You feel farther from the capital than the map suggests. That is the Delta's gift: a different California, twenty-something miles away.

JW’s personal notes from the round will live here — the funny moment, the people, the 19th hole — without inventing what hasn’t been written yet.
