Thanks once again to all!
More importantly, today I've been working on the King's Putter Cup stuff and I want to thank two people in this, one Jeff Brauer for brokering some peace for some of my past indiscretions and to our architect/host, Damian Pascuzzo. All it took was a really hard thrown catch basin to the side of the head!
The details aren't finalized yet but plan for aiming the G5 for Santa Barbara sometime in May. We are calling this one the "Sideways" Tour as the Central coast has some delectable vineyards and unbelievably delicious Santa Maria-raised beef all popularized by the movie, Sideways.
We'll be high-lighting two courses--Damian's much ballyhooed Monarch Dunes and his ultra-strong/best design I've played of his to date, La Purisima. (How this course doesn't gain more recognition for what it is is beyond me, and the closing holes as tough as any as you''ll find in California.)
I want to apologize to Greg Tallman here and right now because we were going to try for Cabo, but after some discussion with a "team" of crack KP veterans, the popular opinion was to keep it in California, and mostly because of the issues as far as passport and costs. We want to keep it as affordable as possible and a trip down to Baja--which someday we would all like to make, would be more feasible. Still we hope the invitation will always be there. Thanks Greg!
