I live off the 14th at Pebble Beach but I have a vacation pad in Colorado. I might just buy this forum and do some house cleaning around here. If you don't use hair gell and slick your hair back you may be gone. Need to bring some class to this joint. All people who drive 2wd crew cab duallies are also gone. If you live in a mobile home... you're gone. Not a college grad? Bye! Things will be changing and the riff raff will be excused and let go.
The highlight from our last visit was number 6. The whole group par'd it, with 1 chip in.
We were talking at length with the caddy the last time because we were the first public tee time, but the CA amature match play was in front of us, so play was held up at times. He told us someone had offered the guy who owns the house right off of number 10 green 40 mil, and turned it down. If that's true, WOW.
LOL like the rest of this thread is going anywhere. oke:
Have you played any of the other courses at Pebble?
We stayed at Spanish Bay last time, first time we stayed in Pebble. Enjoyed that a lot. We played Spanish Bay the afternoon of our Pebble round. It was awesome finishing the last hole as the sun was going down, with the bagpipes in the background.
I had a bunch of great pics, but lost them due to my hard drive crashing
Haven't played but 10 times or so since my daughter was born. When I was playing 2-3 times a week usually scored around 85-88. Can't touch those low numbers you guys are putting up there:doh:. I look forward to playing more once we get this business moving.
What is your GHIN #? I just got back from a golf vacation 2 weeks ago. Played 36 or 54 holes for 7 days straight. I was golfer out. I'm not playing well right now. Think I just went up to a 9.2 or so. Things are looking up though figured a few things out. Hard to not figure some things out with that much golf. On another note just got tickets to Big Head Todd at the Belly Up in Aspen. That will be a great trip can't wait.

Southern Indiana. My favorite was the Martinsville CC. Great course with good fast smooth greens. Played several others as well. Another one like was The Point Golf & Tennis Club by Lake Monroe. I play all over here on the front range. I'm a member of Broken Tee. Our teaching pro Jason Preeo is playing in the Open this weekend. Be cool if he can make the cut.
I remember walking on with some old guys. This was back when I was 30 something. I would out drive them a lot. We would get to the green. They would either sink the first putt for bird, or the second for par. I would chip on, putt for par, or two putt for bogey. And that was a good hole.
No where near as hard as moving a 2.5 gig file across networks from a computer in my office to a computer in a store about 300 miles away with a slow ISDN line. And doing it in my bedroom with a remote connection into my computer.
Can't say I would ever even consider becoming a member however, given their 'other' problems.
I have managed to play a few of the RTJT courses in your state.
My favorite has been Capitol Hill (Judge), followed by the Senator (Capitol Hill also) and Highland Oaks in Dothan.
As far as playing in California, there are a number of other courses (while not matched by Pebble) that are still worth playing. The obvious are Spyglass and Spanish Bay.
And there is of course, just about the toughest place on the planet to get on....Cypress Point!!
A few of the real value courses up north are Pasatiempo, La Purisma (near Santa Barbara), Ancil Hoffman (Sacramento), Harding Park (San Fran), The Links at Half Moon Bay and a bunch of others.
If you ever get to southern California, I can give you tips as I have played a whole slew of courses down there.
What my dream vacation would be though, is to spend a week at Bandon Dunes!! :drool: :drool: :drool:
I don't have near the golfing experience or skill yet as some of you older guys, but I do like to get out and play a little.
Been trying to convince my father for a while now to take me with him when he gets invited to play at Caves Valley here in Maryland for business. That would be the nicest course I will probably see. LOL
And becoming a golf addict, while living in Alaska.........is not the smartest thing in the world to do. :doh:
With the long winters, I did however become fairly good at indoor golf.
I could putt well and hitting into a screen, without worrying about where the ball was headed........... made me keep my head down. Something I fight in real golf.
Second Place in the First World Indoor Tournament of Champions.................was the pinnacle of my 'Indoor Career.'
If you Google Kalle Vainola (member of the first place team), you will see that he was a pretty good outdoor golfer too. Finnish amateur champion as well as playing the European Tour for a number of years.
And yes, that's my beard I referenced in the 'shaving thread.' LOL
These simulators show a photo of the tee box and when you hit, they pick up the rotation of the ball (fade/draw) and tell you how far.......... and in what direction it traveled.
It then shows another photograph of where you would be on the course you're playing and............. you hit it again.
When you're on the 'green,' you have letters on the artificial turf to putt from and get it into the hole in the floor.
Although they certainly don't take the place of real golf, they are realistic enough that you can vastly improve your game.
A lot of the top teachers use them for instruction.
I wanted to play today but its about to rain. I might practice a little bit inside if I can get the ac working.
