Pebble Beach vs Pacific Dunes

[Kalen Braley]

6 and 7 a tie? You lose all credibility there Kalen

I have eyes and have seen PD played in tourny conditions on TV. I have played Pebble around a dozen times. How many times have you played Pebble Kalen?

I consider 6 and 7 great holes at Pacific Dunes. Since you have never played there, I have to wonder about your credibility.

Tim,

0 rounds at Pebble, but have seen the course in person a few times....a much different experience than TV.

I've also played Pac Dunes...

As someone who has played both Pebble and Pac Dunes, I wouldn't even know where to start in comparing the 6th and 7th holes at each course. 


On one hand you have a short downhill par 3 and a gettable par 5.  On the other a short but devilish par 4 followed by a longer par that plays as the No. 1 handicap on the course.  In my book, they are all great holes, each offering a different type of challenge and requiring different types of shots. 


Perhaps this, in a microcosm, shows exactly why the hole by hole match play scenario misses something.

It's just fun and entertaining (like what most of us are looking for in a golf course)....no different than sitting in the Bunker Bar and arguing (conversing) about which is the best course at Bandon.  I doubt when the first "Course A vs Course B" match play took place, the goal was to truly determine which course was better.  But it's a great way to enjoy a beer or two and discuss a couple of great tracks, particularly if you have been fortunate enough to play places like Pebble and Bandon.

Or, perhaps this shows that you agree with Kalen( in calling them a draw.
