It still blows my mind that one dude built both Cypress Point and Augusta National. Dr Alister MacKensie was a true artist...the Michaelangelo of golf course architecture.
I imagine walking in Augusta, especially in the spring, has to feel like walking in Heavens golf course.
That whole coast drive up from Ventura to Monterey was just......there are no words that I can say that really do it justice.
We know all those stud defensive players didn't pick ATM because of Mike Elko. And I doubt it was because of his replacement, D.J. Durkin.
Ross was the manI was thinking he designed Chattanooga Golf & CC, but realized it was Donald Ross. So I look up Ross's designs and I am amazed at the sheer number.

And we wait in the darkness, eagerly awaiting that bright Orange disk to rise and defeat the bruised sky. And once again let it's warm orange rays kiss and warm our faces.the darkness of the off season has settled into this thread like low gray clouds over the frost bitten plateau
Been fortunate to play Spyglass and San Francisco Golf Club…..really want to play Pebble one day. That would be so cool for you to play there with your sonI have played Pebble Beach, Spyglass, and Spanish Bay. My best 4 hole stretch ever was at Pebble with birdie, birdie, par, par. Of course I started with a triple, double bogey, then bogey.When I hit the good holes, the caddie said here we go! And I just started laughing. I shot a 42 on the front 9 snd a 50 on the back 9. On the 18th hole I pulled the hell out of my drive. It was headed to the Pacific. The ocean swell went down and my ball hit an exposed rock face then bounced to the middle of the fairway
. Only par I had on the back 9.
My son was 4 when I played Pebble. I brought him a hat. He asked me to take him to play Pebble Beach. I said that I would when he became a teenager. He didn’t say anything about it afterwards. As his 13th birthday approached, I asked him if he wanted to do anything in particular? His response: When are we playing Pebble Beach?He and I played Spyglass and Spanish Bay but couldn’t get on Pebble yet
You have to stay on property to get guaranteed tee times at Pebble…
It is shaving points. I guess it's not illegal but if they are offering him money to tank games that is getting close. The Black Sox went on trial for it. They were just paid and did not bet on the games.Only if you're actually gambling on it though right? I don't know the laws, just never heard of criminal inquiries regarding throwing games. We've all known teams to throw games toward the end of the season and nobody ever acted like the feds were going to get involved.
