Cool golf courses you have played

My dad has his "annual review" at a golf course around the corner from where he lives in Augusta.  Something about his CEO being a member.  He says it almost is enough to keep him from retiring in a few years.  Almost.  To me, it sounds like a cult.  Which is why I don't play golf.

Suddenly I hate you.......

I thought you already hated me...... :beerhat:

 

What was even better is that it was arranged and paid for by our company...we bought a pump company HQ'd in Glasgow Scotland about 18 months ago.  Was over there for meetings and they planned this all day outing to the course.

 

I now understand that my pitiful golf had nothing to do with the crappy courses I used to play....I just suck at golf.

Cabo Del Sol in well, Cabo.

 

 

Jealous of ABH playing Pebble, gotta do that soon.

 

 

 

Played Pebble pre-Chinese and pre-Clint Eastwood ownership back in the 70's.

 

Vacation in Mexico couple times a year, playing Cabo del Sol next Feb-Mar when I get down there.

Anyone played the Barefoot courses in Myrtle Beach. Playing the Norman, Dye, Fazio and Love courses and was curious what to expect? I've played about 20 courses down there but this will be me first time playing the Barefoot package.

 

 

 

all are nice, but I wouldn't call them spectacular.  I was playing the Love course one day a few years ago, and I asked a ranger about the Fazio course, and he said the course was closed that day

for one party.....Michael Jordan and his friends.

but my favorite golf story was the time me and my buddy Hampton got paired up with a couple of

guys from England.  We're waiting to tee off and introducing ourselves, and when he said

"hi, I'm Hampton",  the guys kind of laughed a little bit.

 

The one said, "no offense, but over where we come from, Hampton is a word for your private parts.:

 

and Hampton said "well over here, they call me Big Hampton."  they laughed so hard they took us out

to dinner that night.

I'll add Spyglass, Spanish Bay and Poppy Hills. Lived in Pacific grove around a mile from 17 mile drive and it was pretty easy to get on those courses. Especially Poppy Hills which was like $25 if you had a certain card.

 

But not pebble. It was $250 at the time and you basically had to walk up at 7:00 a.m. and hope for a single opening. Then when the Open came in 2000 it was $500 to play in the pro conditions.

 

But the hidden gem of the Monterey Bay area was Pacific Grove municipal course which had so many wonderful water views and was cheap.

 

And of course, cypress point which is as exclusive as Augusta. I road my bike around there and may have seen 3 golfers the entire time.

I've played the Dye one, it's great.  Don't forget your sand wedge tho.

    • 4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.
    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
