Great photos Michael,

In reply to a hazing question last week I mentioned PB as the most over-rated course I know of. Seeing pictures like this could certainly make me reconsider.

Is there a better hole than the 8th anywhere?

Thanks for the reminder,

Jim

I figured that comment would draw a heated response but it slid by last week. Dave Schmidt is probably licking his chops at the nothion of my first 'back-track', but I do believe that other than #6-#8 PB is a very ordinary golf course on an extraordinary piece of land.

Jim, #8-10 might be the best stretch of par 4's in the world!  As Bob says, "wash your mouth out!"  Probably better to say #4-10 is the best seven-hole stretch of waterside holes in the world.  And then capped by #17-18's glorious finish.

I've always liked the inland holes at Pebble, in some ways because they are so different from the waterside holes.  Spyglass is similar but doesn't have the triumphant return to the sea that both Pebble and Cypress Point flaunt!

Bill, Go hit the ball for the cold weather is a coming.

Not very cold Tiger (60*) but very wet, maybe 2-3" today.

Christmas Day we fly to Portland and will play Columbia-Edgewater, my new non-resident club, on Tuesday.  Ironically it's not supposed to rain there!

Merry Christmas to ya!

Nicklaus' new #5 is probably the best anyone could do.

In terms of Carmel Bay actually coming into play, I think the site for the hole is more photographic than architecturally meaningful.

I'm not sure the new #5 is really a "better" hole than the old although it sure was a mandatory undertaking once Chuck Schwab his ownself made the property available.

Howsabout' those asphalt cart paths?
