WEBVTT - Zac Blair on Northern California Golf 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:00.760 I miss the green. 0:00:00.840 --> 0:00:03.440 For example, I'm already upset. When I find my ball 0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:05.720 in the bunker, I'm really upset. And when I find 0:00:05.760 --> 0:00:08.360 my ball in a bright egg Friday egg, the dreaded 0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:11.959 Frida egg, fridagg egg egg Frida egg bride egg Lie, 0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:14.400 I'm about ready to run off of the course. 0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:42.200 To Northwood is so sick? 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:47.879 Yeah? What? So we went on that trip Lake mercaid 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:53.680 S F Golf, Cal Club, Olympic Club, Northwood Meadow Club, 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:59.760 Pasa Tempo and PCC Dunes and pack Grove. What overall thoughts. 0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:09.039 I would just say, I think I didn't give San 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:13.360 Francisco area enough credit for how amazing the golf is. 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:15.240 Like it's kind of a power player. 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:19.480 Yeah, I would agree, especially because like we didn't hit 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.119 up a few, like we played the nine hole course 0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:24.080 at Olympic Club, but then we also didn't hit up 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:29.840 Claremont Club or you know some of the other you know, Prestidio, 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:31.880 I kind of wanted to see after I heard the 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:35.760 history of it, Glenn Eagle, Glen Eagle, you know, we 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:37.920 walked around Sharp Park. What'd you think of that? 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:40.920 I think it's another one that I was kind of 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:44.160 blown away when you're driving over the hill to go. 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:47.039 Check that place out. 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:51.480 You're just like kind of blown away with that could 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:53.640 be like a public golf course, you know what I mean, 0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:56.800 with the setting that it's in right by the beach 0:01:56.840 --> 0:02:00.680 and everything like that, Like it could be so good. 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:05.680 Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's a shame that it is 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:09.000 in the current shape it is, and it's it's I mean, 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:12.680 there's like a cool little like public tour you could 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.480 do in San Francisco for people that wanted to like 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:18.400 get kind of deep on mackenzie because you could go 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:22.440 do Northwood in Sharp Park, which are kind of you know, 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:26.639 abused Mackenzie's, but then you could go play Pasa Tiempo, 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:30.760 which is unreal, and then you could you could tie 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.080 it in and play Pack Grove And I think the 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.520 Green Speeds would be less than three hundred bucks to 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:36.000 do that. 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:42.639 Yeah, I mean, I don't know about you, but if 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:48.040 you wanted to see like what having good bones is, 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:53.200 I think like Northwood is like the place you would 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.640 want to see of any course that I've ever been to, 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:58.520 with kind of the hollowed out bunkers that are grassed 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:01.400 over and you can see like where the greens extended to. 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:07.000 I mean it's very easy to see how good that 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:13.160 place was without being like super into golf course architecture. 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.320 Yeah, I think, like I think one of the things 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:18.400 people ask me all the time, like how can you 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.240 figure out like good bones is like looking at like 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:24.200 greens and seeing you know, there's always like a pad 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:27.440 that you can see with a green, you know where 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.920 it used to extend to. So start to look at 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:33.000 the corners of the greens you're playing and look to 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:35.920 see like is there a distinct pad that this green 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:40.080 sits on? And usually, you know, at most municipal golf 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:42.920 courses at least those things have shrunk so much over 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:44.480 the years. 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:45.640 Yeah, it's pretty wild. 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.160 Yeah, it's in talking to a couple of architects. They 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:51.520 you know, people say it it wouldn't take much to 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:56.760 get those those bunkers dug out and it then playable. 0:03:56.840 --> 0:04:00.360 But it was interesting talking to the guy the pro 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.720 shop afterwards and how he wasn't sure if people would 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:05.320 like that. I kind of was miffed. 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:12.120 Yeah, that was pretty weird hearing that guy say that, 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:16.799 because I think golf is just I always go back. 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:18.679 To this, but golf is just one of those things 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:23.920 where there's always going to be people that aren't great 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:29.200 at golf, so it's hard to always cater to someone 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:32.599 like that, saying like, well, if I dig this bunker 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:35.480 out here like now, guys are going to be hitting 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:38.200 into it and you know they're not going to enjoy 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.320 their round as much. But then there's the flip side 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.880 of that that there's people kind of like us out 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:46.080 there that would love to see it. 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.799 So it's kind of a I was kind of blown 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:49.880 away when he said that too. 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:54.200 There's people that suck at everything, like every sport, it's 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:55.640 okay that people suck. 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:56.960 Yeah, for sure. 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.960 I think part of what makes golf so special is 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:03.840 that people suck, you know, and you're never really conquering 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:05.560 it no matter what level you play it. 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:10.719 Yeah, like everyone sucks at you know at times. 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:16.760 There's obviously people that are worse more often, but it's like, 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.080 I mean I've had times where I suck. 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:25.080 Yeah, I suck more often than I'm good. So let's 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:29.200 kind of dive into their favorite stretches of holes. So 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:33.920 I had you and I did the same thing. Pick 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:37.720 out the best three hole stretches, so the best are 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.960 not the best, Our favorite one through three, our favorite 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:45.920 four through six, Favorite seven through nine, ten through twelve, 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:52.279 thirteen through fifteen, and sixteen through eighteen. And with that 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:56.520 we're going to count Northwood and the back nine at 0:05:56.560 --> 0:06:02.039 Pacific Grove as eighteenth ZB. You wanna who's your one 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:02.599 through three? 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:07.440 Yeah, So I kicked the round off with SF club. 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.200 One through three megawith. 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:15.920 Super super whipped. Nice way to start out the round. 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:17.760 It's like you're probably not going to miss that fair 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:21.080 way too often, and if you hit a good drive, 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:23.840 you kind of have the opportunity to get the round 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:25.800 started off with a with a birdie. 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:29.960 So the rules out there are with the no cell phone, 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:34.760 no yardage finder. It's kind of crazy, you're going back 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:38.080 in time a little bit. But like that's a perfect 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:42.240 example of like not really knowing where the green was. 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:45.400 We both missed way right there. It was the worst 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:46.159 place you could be. 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:52.160 Yeah, exactly. That that's uh, I mean, that's something that. 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:55.240 I wish like the Cabby would have just said, like, hey, 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:58.960 you're you're okay to miss in that left bunker, Like 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.400 that left bunker would have been and like a really 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:03.520 easy up and down to the pin we were playing, 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:06.359 and then the right the right side fell off so 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.080 hard and we were all just so. 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:08.880 Dead over there. 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:13.280 Yeah, it was just short sided down like in a gully. 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.840 So I went one through three Medal Club. You know, 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:19.960 there's something about that second hole going down with like 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:22.600 the layered bunkers behind it, and you can see all 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:25.600 those greens that I just loved. And then I love 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:28.600 the third hole that I hit that sick approach shot 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:32.320 to and birdied, and but that green, that green's awesome. 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:37.760 I think that Metal Club is, like, it's such a 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:38.880 cool little place there. 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:40.640 Yeah. 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:42.480 I was lucky enough to play it in a bunch 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:45.360 of college you know, every year in college basically we 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.920 had an event up there, and it's really really cool. 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:52.239 Yeah, So what about four through six? 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:59.720 Four through six, I went with Northwood, Oh sweet little stretch. 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:04.360 Like the sixth hole was maybe my favorite hole on 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:05.240 the entire trip. 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:08.400 So I had to get that the hole in this 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:09.360 routing somehow. 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:13.160 Yeah that if they brought those bunkers back, we'll put 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:16.600 we'll put the uh, your little rendering of of what 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:18.840 it is and what you if you just filled in 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.320 the bunkers that are hollowed out to show people like 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:24.320 what we mean by good bones in there. 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:27.640 Yeah, that was that was pretty sick. And even the 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:31.600 four and five were really cool holes too. That fourth 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:33.960 hole that kind of dogleg right, I mean we were 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:37.080 playing it with the Hickory's so we got to really see, 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:38.160 you know, what it was. 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.840 And then I thought five was a really cool part. 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:41.120 Five. 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:43.880 Yeah, that was another one with the bunkers along that 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:47.000 right side that were gone and you could see like, 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:49.240 oh this is this could be really cool. 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:51.200 Sweet Green too. 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.199 Oh unreal. I think it was missing like a really 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.960 deep bunker on the right side. I've watched the drone 0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:58.240 fly over a couple of times. 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:03.080 Northwood is like I like still have dreams about that place. 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:04.600 I know, it's insane. 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:07.440 It's funny because you know, we texted all, you know, 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:11.640 we go on this like crazy, long, unbelievable golf trip 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:13.920 that people would dream of, like you know, and we 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:19.199 play Cal Club and SF and and Meadow and Pasa 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:23.080 Tiempo NPCC, all these like you know, really well thought 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:26.760 of golf courses that bucket listers and like the course 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:30.440 I think we talked about the most before the trip 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.040 was Northwood and then it's probably the course we talk 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:35.720 about the most after the trip. And it's a twenty 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:37.679 three dollars course that anybody can play. 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:42.440 It's insane. It's like a very eye opening experience. It 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:43.360 was so cool. 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:47.280 I wish I could spend a couple of days out there, 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:49.880 just keep going around and see it when it's a 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:52.040 little when it's not winter and it's not so wet. 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:57.559 Yeah, I think we should scoop back out to San 0:09:57.600 --> 0:10:00.240 Francisco in the fall and see these places is a 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:03.240 little with a little more fire in them. Maybe check 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:04.719 out the Bohemian Grove. 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:08.560 To see if they let usin. Yeah, that's what I 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:12.240 was on the Golf Guide podcast and they the kid 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:16.040 is from Northern California, and he said that the Bohemian 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:20.640 Grove has the original drawing of Northwood, like the original plant, 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:25.720 but they they're holding them hostage in there. You got 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:27.240 to talk to Gary Record. 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:29.360 Get those get those plants. 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:31.160 Just bring him out. 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:36.719 Yeah. I got four through six at SFGC. I like 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:41.000 that that long par three, and then I like how 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:45.040 you've got the those part fours. Really you got to 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:47.959 hit good golf shots on those part fours, especially the 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:51.880 six that I love the fairway how it goes down 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.440 to the left, and then that green is nasty. 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:58.280 Yeah, dude's six is very very cool. 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.720 It's you know, run runner up there. I'd say fourth 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.680 through six at col club's pretty cool too. 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:06.720 Yeah. 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:09.480 I had that written down and then then I put 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:13.480 s F and then I just remembered Northwood number six 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.160 and was like absolutely that's what I'm That's what I'm 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:16.679 rolling with. 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.320 So what do you got for seven through nine? 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:23.559 Seventh through nine? I uh threw in the metal club. 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:28.719 Some cool uh, some cool holes that are that are 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:30.240 definitely pretty unique. 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:31.640 I thought they were awesome. 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.760 Yeah, that little natural like creek they used for that 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:40.120 seventh hole, it's pretty sweet. And then uh eight cool 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.960 par three nine cool, par part four. 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:45.679 Nine nine is sweet. 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:48.040 And I think if they had the T in the 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:51.120 right position there, I think the t, you know, they 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:53.600 had to find yardage for that hole to get it, 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.080 to get it a little longer where guys couldn't carry 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.720 that those left bunkers. But if you played from like 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:02.240 the correct angle, I think it's such a sick t shot. 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:06.600 How those left fairway bunkers kind of just blend into 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.240 the green side bunkering and it just looks like one 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:10.920 big diagonal hazard. 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:14.040 Yeah, you got to hit a good drive there and 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:16.920 then you still like if it I played there with 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.360 a Hickory and I still had like a I feel 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:21.400 like I had like a four or five iron into 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:25.120 that green, which was Yeah, it was a beast. I 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:28.320 went seventh through nine at Northwood. I really like that 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:31.760 seventh hole that kind of dog likes, right, and that 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:34.320 green you can tell is pretty cool. The par three 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:39.120 eighth is unreal, that green. And then nine going back 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:40.679 up I really liked. 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:44.560 Yeah, with that huge bunker that was like one hundred 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:47.360 and fifty yards off the tee that just swallows up 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:48.880 any golf ball that heads to it. 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:49.920 That's not there anymore. 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:52.720 Yeah, I mean that thing was like a true three 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.640 shot par five back in the day too, Like I 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:57.800 think I went Hickory Hickory Wedge. 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:00.640 Yeah, that hole was cool, full place. 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:00.839 Man. 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:04.080 I know I keep talking about it, but I want 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:05.760 to go back up there, like tomorrow. 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:12.600 I almost went out to Northern California this week for something, 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:15.840 and I was like, oh man, that'd be sweet to 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:17.360 be because I was going to have to go up 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:20.600 to Napa and I was like, I'll be close to Northwood. 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:21.960 I could go over there again. 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:26.440 Abs ten through twelve. 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:32.000 I threw in SF club again because ten was another 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:34.520 one of my favorite holes on the trip. I thought 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:38.199 eleven was a sweet part three, and then that twelve 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:42.160 hole was again like I mean, I keep repeating myself, 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:44.880 but twelve is such a sick hole. 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:49.160 I think with just twelve it would you could put 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:52.839 nothing holes before that and SF would still get it. 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.160 So I have ten through twelve too, Like twelve might 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.080 be one of the best part fours I've ever seen. 0:13:58.200 --> 0:13:59.320 Yeah, in the entire world. 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:02.040 Yeah, it was so funny how we both ended up 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:05.080 in that bunker and the Caddy was was pissed at us. 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:09.160 I the caty was, but the Caddy was so wrong 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:10.079 on that yard age. 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:14.280 She was like, it's two fifty five, but it plays uphill, 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:16.360 you know, and it played a little into the wind. 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:18.320 Or I don't even know what he said. He said, 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:20.840 it's two forty five, but it's the longest two forty 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:22.680 five in the world. And I'm like, well, I can 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:26.400 carry it to forty five, and I smoked one didn't 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:27.880 even come close to carrying it. 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.280 Then I go back home and look on Google Earth and. 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:31.920 It was like two seventy eight, and I was like, 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:35.240 I don't even hit it too seventy eight anywhere, let 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:37.400 alone foggy San Francisco. 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.960 So just that bad information. 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:42.960 Yeah, you didn't carry it, and I was like, ah, yeah, 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:45.080 probably I could probably carry it, and I hit it 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:45.840 right into it. 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:49.880 Yeah, that whole is cool, and it's so funny because 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:53.400 there's so much room left that it's just like you 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:56.240 should never in a million years hit it in that bunker. 0:14:56.560 --> 0:15:00.560 But I mean that's like a perfect exam pull of 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:05.320 a hole with like the technology thing is like if 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:08.000 like Dustin Johnson can just carry that with like a 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:12.600 three wood and just like the modern distance thing is like, 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:16.960 so that hole loses like all the strategy. But if 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:22.160 that bunker is uncarriable, they you have to make a decision. 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:26.080 Are you playing short and giving up yardage or and 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:29.119 having the perfect angle, or are you playing left and 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:33.000 and taking more yardage and and have just a like 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:34.359 kind of a blind shot. 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:37.760 In Yeah, yeah, I really like that whole. 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.880 What'd you Got? What do you Have? For thirteen through fifteen? 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:47.520 H thirteen through fifteen I went with Posse Tiampo SAMs. 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:52.800 Yeah really yeah, I really like thirteen that part man, Like, 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:55.400 I hope you I help people have watched like the 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:59.520 drone video of that hole that you have. It's like 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:02.920 that that green complex is just out of control, so 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:07.520 beautiful and so cool. And then fourteen very cool hole 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:12.000 with the like natural looking chasm, you know, the big 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:15.480 dip in the fair way. Yeah, and then fifteen is 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:17.680 that sick little part three. 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:21.400 I haven't posted any drone video of that yet, so 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.400 maybe I'll try and get something done for the spot. 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:27.240 But yeah, that I mean that stretch a hole. It's 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:31.800 like you got a great risk reward par five, you 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:36.640 got an awesome just stout Par four that's got tons 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:38.640 of strategy, and then you got a like a little 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:42.840 nasty par three. So I'm in the same boat. And 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:44.960 then what are you doing to close out the round? 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:49.760 I went with cal club another cool little part three 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:55.240 and sixteen a gettable par five and seventeen, But at 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:57.080 the same time, you can kind of you could make 0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:59.120 bogies on both of those holes pretty easy if you 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:02.120 hit a bad shot. Eighteen going back to the clubhouses, 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:03.680 I thought was a pretty cool finish. 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:07.800 I wrapped it up with pasta tempo sixteen through eighteen. 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:14.160 I just couldn't couldn't pass up on having yeah, sixteen, 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:18.359 and I have an happy people rag on seventeen. I 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:20.040 kind of like really like seventeen. 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:24.520 Yeah, man, when I saw when I saw the original 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:27.560 aerials of that place without all the trees on the right, 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:31.239 and there was this nasty set of bunkers kind of 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:34.000 down there right where you hit your drives on the 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:38.720 right in between ten and seventeen. Fairway, like you kind 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:40.760 of have a better appreciation for that whole how you 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:42.399 got to hug it up the left side so the 0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:45.280 ball doesn't roll down into that bunker, and then you know, 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:46.920 you kind of have a better view of that grain. 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:48.879 That's a dude. 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:52.120 Pasta Tampa, the whole course in the back nine, everything 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:53.600 there is ridiculous. 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:55.000 I was looking. 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:57.000 I was looking at the rankings the other day and 0:17:57.200 --> 0:17:59.439 Pasta Tampa is not in the top one hundred. 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:08.080 Like I was actually offended. It's criminal, absolutely, Like that's 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:12.960 like a top fifteen golf course in America. 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:16.880 So I always say it could be a top fifteen 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:18.600 if it was an exclusive club. 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:20.080 I still think it is right now. 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:24.840 I don't know, sick, I don't know what is it 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:31.560 better than SF Club? No, So that's I mean, that's 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:34.880 the I mean the way I look at Passa tempo 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:37.320 is I think like architecturally, if you want to play 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:40.560 a golf course, like a Golden Age golf course, it's 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:44.560 the undisputed number one that a public can play, that 0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:48.879 the public can play. Yeah, I need to play Pinehurst 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:50.000 number two still though. 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:53.480 Too so Pinehurst is solid. It's good. 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:56.720 You would you put Passo over Pinehurst? 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:02.080 I enjoy Passa or I think it. But dude, again, 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:06.320 I don't know. These are such hard discussions to have 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:09.639 because they're both so good. They're both in that category 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:11.520 that you're like, I would go play them, you know 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:11.960 what I mean? 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:16.359 How about our how about our experience at Pacific Growth. 0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:21.200 Yeah, that was like everything you don't want to have 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:26.960 happened inside the golf shop kind of happened. I think, 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:29.080 you know, it was kind of our fault for not 0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:31.800 I just didn't think it would be like crazy busy, 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:36.600 but obviously like seventy five Sonny on a Saturday afternoon is. 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:38.960 Kind of like prime time for people to go off. 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:43.040 Yeah. So we we showed up there at like three 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:45.680 or so, and we wanted to just play the back 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:48.639 nine and we get there and it was like packed, 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:51.240 and the guy you know, in the shop, was like, yeah, 0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:54.000 I can't get you out. So we decided to walk. 0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:57.640 And we we walk out there and like, sure. 0:19:57.520 --> 0:19:59.399 Well you've got to tell them about you got to 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:02.000 you gotta inform them about how We were like do 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:04.640 you think we could go just walk the back nine? 0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:09.399 And the guy was like I don't know, Like that 0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:12.040 would be tough for me to let have happen. 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:15.920 And we were like, man, we'll be like courteous. 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:17.520 We're not going to get in anybody's way. 0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:21.040 And he was like, ah, I guess and he really 0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:23.320 just like did not want us to be out there. 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:26.800 He was crazy. 0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:29.520 So so we walk out and there's like a foursome 0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:33.080 on ten and which is like a nothing part three, 0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:35.560 and we like turned the corner at the green and 0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:39.040 there's like this single guy walking down the eleventh fairway 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:43.320 towards like the green that's set into the dune and 0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:46.399 and Zach looks at me and he's like, dude, go 0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:49.919 get go get some clubs.
