2 weeks ago I was in San Diego and played Torrey pines. The views throughout that course were unreal. Every hole was a picture hole. The $200+ fee was stiff though.

The Country Club in Brookline ranks near the top, but The National on Long Island was by far the best golf experience I have ever had. Incredibly exclusive and meticulously maintained.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

BTW, in the pic below my drive went OB.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

Definitely a special place. I recently read the Walker cup was going to be held there, I can't believe the members let it happen.
BTW....takeaway looks fine, must have caught a bad bounce as you were trying to work it right to left over the bunker.  |

I had the privilege of playing National 2 years ago. I broke 100 and felt good about it. Wicked tough course.

I'm off the week ending Friday September 20th, so if we can get some guys together, that would be a great week for me personally. I'm taking the Thurs-Friday ahead of the Columbus Day holiday. Plan to golf and Tog fish hard both vacations, but will make arrangements to hit some balls anytime.

Johnniesax and I were just talking about this the other day. I would take the reigns on this and handle the planning. Unfortunately I am in the process of purchasing another house and my schedule between work and negotiations etc. is limiting my availability for other things aside from limited fishing.
I would be happen to work with a couple guys to make a plan for next season to establish the SB open where most twosomes can beat any three some. I think there is enough interest. Maybe we could establish a fee for the tourney and maybe we could get sponsors to donate some prizes with a side skins pool and donate the left over cash to say the Jimmy Fund? With enough planning ahead this could be a great event.
