Martin,  

Great photos, keep them coming.

Would you quit showing those mid-westerners and east-coasters examples of the crappy weather we have been having out here ...

Martin - you live up to the translation of your name from the German for making this happen for your father.... or he does for you... either way, the trip sure does seem gott-like.  I've often said there is no better golf than golf with one's Dad.  I had a similar experience at Pebble, too many years ago.

The more pics the better from these courses - hell yes, keep them coming.

When were you out there?  I was there for all of last week and just returned on Monday.  You played all the courses my wife and I missed, and vice versa.

When I get back to Marquette on a faster connection I'll post some of the millions of photos I took along with a brief synopsis....I see Huckaby has already put up some of the info.  More to come, and great photos you've got there - keep 'em coming!

We were there in Oct......the weather was perfect (They called it the Indian summer".  A tad bit windy, but we expected that.  If you like classic, then MPCC is the way to go.  I wish I had one more day to play the Shore course.  It just got featured in Links.

As for my favorite, that is a hard one.  The layout at the Dunes was great.  Greens were PREFECT.  I thought it was a tough course.

Pebble was not in the best of shape....but do recall that they get tons of play.  They were adding bunkers to 17 and 15 and adding a huge trench on #2.  I played Pebble very very well both times which makes me side with Pebble as my favorite.  

Spanish Bay is a resort course, very easy but fun.  Spyglass was a challenge, once you past the first 4 holes it turns into a different golf course.  I needed a cold beer after that round.

Next time I would play the Dunes and Shore course at MPCC, I would like to play De Monte and Pebble.........and of course, I would love to have the opportunity to play Cypress........
