Chris,
Its nice to look at in pictures, but this one is as dumb as blond as it gets. I know I'm hard on stuff, but I'll take Rees Jones Santa Luz over this one (as a golf course) anyday, and would probably take the Crosby Club over those two easy. The clubhouse is hard to beat though.
Now about the light:
I didn't see any of last nights telecast as a matter of choice. I like the idea of them doing this event, and I even like the idea of them doing it down there at The Bridges. I just can't stomach Mike Tirico or Curtis Strangle. Put Al Michaels in there and suddenly the event becomes watchable. You can listen to him because he doesn't come up with uneccessary diatribe. In fact, I think you hear more truth fom guys like him or Bob Costas then any of them.
The Bridges is located in some really huge rolling hills of Rancho Sante Fe. It is absolutely beautiful country there, but there is a small set of hills that block the sunset, so its going to get darker there quicker then it is if you were directly due west 3 or four miles as the crow flies in Encinitas which is right on the coast. Your going to have lots of shadows, but beautiful ones, and the highest point of this site is where the clubhouse is. Eveything else is really below it. It is a severe site, but its a "Good" sporty severe. I wil lay money on it the only reason why they had the nines reversed is because they wanted the 10th to be the hilight, and to ge that clubhouse shot frm the fairway in there. Its pretty spectacular. It literally looks as if the clubhouse is going to slide off of th hill into your lap!
Chris, What school did you go to?
