Hey folks...I just saw this.
The good news is that I have been in Cabo all week and that the project is firmly back on track for completion later this year....but alas I need to get out to the course and won't be able to give an update til later.....but its all good stuff.
Why weren't you with the boys on Tuesday evening? Then again you, like the gals at Nowhere Bar, have my number but do not call.... sigh.
FYI - Brad Klein and some of his panel are in town next week for a "summit" and unfortunately we are have 9 holes available and they have planned a tour of Quivira rather than Diamante so they won't get the true sense of Cabo's best. Maybe Brad(Quivira) will get them over to Diamante on Tuesday afternoon as part of the tour but I'm not sure of his intentions. Nothing like touring untouched dunes versus a course that is basically done and a strong candidate for making a big splash in the golf world if not the rankings.
Hey my friend....while you were basking in the 90's on the inside for four days this week, I was doing the 60's to 70's with sand stinging winds between 20 and 30 mph and the 7 to 6 shift...with just enough time to clean up a take a taxi into no parking downtown to eat and go to bed.
The boys at the No Name are on Spanish Work Time and I'm about three hours ahead...but we will find a way to get together....especially if you can find a way to take off half a day for a Fiesta lunch engagement.
The Course is back up and going, and the sands are being tamed on all fronts. We are finally detailing the last nine or so holes.....getting rid of the inconsistant looks on 9 and 8 among others and finally getting a D8 to do the invasive surgery sometimes needed to save the patient on 14.....it will be something of beauty and move it from being one the quirkiest holes, to one of the best out there.....something we have been unable to do while waiting for the heavy eqipment almost two years. A window to the sea.....finally!
My goal is that by the time we open, one should be able to play 18 holes without losing ones ball....unless one is totally crooked.
We will see.
What new grass on left of 11?
That bump on 2 is thirty yards short and original, and needs to stay...the whole setting is a bunker....surely don't need to add a fake one.....there's more than enough happening at the green anyway.
Back the 15th if you care to come out!
