Josh, If you happen to see this could you share some images of The Cal Club? I was there before Riger started any of the work.

Great article. Thanks for the link, Adam.

I've gotten to know Josh a bit over the past few years. He 's a good guy, and a realy talent. For sure.

Way to go Josh, congratulations!  I'd love to see some of your work on the Cal Club as well!

Adam,

        Thanks for alerting me of this link.  I did not know this article was published.  Brad Klein came by Cal Club a couple of months ago and thought that some story could be written about my mis-woven career path.  

Jed,

        Small world, we will have to catch up to see if we may have ever crossed paths at SMC.  I would love to golf with you guys, however we have been doing 7 days a week for a while now, and don't see it happening.  I really enjoy Morgan Creek.  Ask Thawley about my 75 first time seeing the course!

Here is a construction photo of 18 at The California Golf Club sans lakes.



And a random closeup side view of the par 3 12th recently hydroseeded.

Josh,

Awesome!

Can we hope to see some paintings of the finished product?

Cheers,
Jordan

Nice to see the "new" 18th. While the old version was certainly difficult, the h2o was quite oval and out of place. Was the other lake adjacent to the one on the 18th filled in as well?
You'd make a fine little helper. What's your name?

Yeah, you may recognize me, but as a transfer student living off-campus for only two years, I didn't hang with too many people.

75 first time is VERY impressive! He must have told you where to hit it on every shot! Haha!

Thanx for the pictures. What a transformation.

When I first heard about The Cal Club the whisper was the course was actually better than some of it's high falut'in neighbors. The bones were there, and, it's just amazing to see them revealed.

Who's doing the recent work?
