I played member tees, no issues.

From Aldarra tees, would need a very very good shot to get over the shit on two holes

I think Aldarra is the toughest course in the state.

McCormick in the summer is borderline impossible. But for a pure test where you get better each time you play, would agree

Excuse me, sir, I didn’t ask for MidAM flashbacks

Agreed. If your approach is out of position, really tough to make par (and sometimes tough to make bogey). Love the course though. Appreciate the greens more and more each time I have the joy to play it!

Teeing it up there tomorrow. Went to the range today. Yeah, I’m concerned.

Played Olympic Course at Gold Mountain today for first time, loved it.

BTW - Does it always blow 15-20mph in 3 directions? Sheesh, makes me wanna do a Tiger post round imitation.

Yesterday’s wind was ferocious!

Sick! SUCH a fun course. Agree with @ThermalDan that yesterday was pretty gnarly, but I was there a week ago and it was definitely swirling direction wise. An old friend of mine is an assistant there so it’d be interesting to hear his wind takes.

Could’ve used advice on 18 yesterday - the pin flag was pointing north, the flags on top of the hill we’re blowing south, reeds on the water were blowing west, and we were getting wind in the face on the tee.

Didn’t matter - hit the best drive of the day, never left the pin the whole way and landed in the hidden greenside bunker. And if I didn’t take 3 strokes to get it out, it might have been a good hole, but got my money’s worth. Looking forward to returning when it’s 75 and the snack shack is pouring.

Truly the important part. Such a sweet patio for post round beers as well.

You can say this about the walk up that fucking hill too… Fuck that thing.

What’s everyone’s plan for Wednesday?

Ugh… working like normal…

That hidden bunker feels like a tribute to Pete Dye, a special “screw you” to all who find it.

Or the walk up the hill after…
