Wood Identification, Please

[Tangorob]

I found this chunk of tree at the local golf course.  It is fully dried and fairly light in weight.  The endgrain is weathered, but I just split it and see much of the freshly exposed grain has a silverish tone.  Any help identifying it is appreciated.

Welcome to the Forestry Forum.
What are the dimensions, or at least the distance between those annual rings?

Sure would help to know what country or part of a country that you are from. ;)

Put some info in your profile, that would help.

What was the score for the game?

Thanks for the tips beenthere.  The wood comes from San Diego, CA and was found about 3 miles from the coast.  Very mild climate. I've added a couple more photos. The endgrain photo now has scale and I chiseled to show fresh wood.  The other is a piece I turned to a cylinder. It turned okay and produced some ribbons with the spindle gouge.
I shot 90, I prefer the lower 80's.
Thanks!

Hi All, I asked a local tree trimmer what he thought this wood was.  He said white pine.  What do you think?

I'd say it doesn't look like any white pine I ever saw in Michigan. It has a hardwood look to me.

The outter rings near the bark would have pitch ooze from resin canals if it were white pine. Plus them pines grow up high in elevation in Cal.

The end grain would need magnification, can't seem much there.

First thought is some sort of hardwood due to the wide growth rings in the beginning, BUT, on that split piece, is that a knot/branch with pitch in it??  The chunk is not that old, ring wise, so it could be just about anything including non-native species.
