Ash,
As I've told a number of people since our round at Cypress, one of the most enjoyable elements of the day was seeing the course and the property through your eyes as well as mine. If it was possible for anyone to be more geeked about a golf course than I was that day, you were. And you played superbly.
Glad to hear the rest of your trip was worthy of the opening act. I also played Wolf with the estimable Mr. Huntley on my trip west; I think the secret to his success, aside from knowing all the nuances of the game better than anyone, is his unyielding will to get everything he can out of a hole -- evidenced when he lowered himself to the bottom of a narrow, 8-foot-deep drainage culvert, extracted his ball with a casual yet expert flip of his wedge, and then nearly holed the next shot for what would have been the most amazing par I'd ever seen. He still managed to halve the hole.
What a great country, eh?
