The question is this, made simpler: is Chambers Bay great enough - and more importantly, will the weather be decent enough on November 2 - to REALLY piss off one's wife and risk losing one's job to play it?Think of it that way. I believe the course is great enough. What worries me is the weather.THWait for the weather report?

Huck -Since you have a little one, tell your wife you should not fly on the same plane together. That way, you go early and get your round in at Chambers Bay and she arrives later and everything is okay. My wife will not fly with me so I go early and come back late which usually allows for one possibly two extra rounds. I would rather fly together, but I am not complaining. Try it and let me know what she says.
Quote from: Bill_McBride on August 31, 2007, 10:06:24 AMHuckster, I will be back out in Oregon next summer and wispy fescue will be filling the dozer treads. How about we arrange a rendezvous with some NW types? "Round up the usual suspects!" Well Bill, you know me and group events. I always WANT to do them, rarely can. So that does factor into this... while I think I will get back to Seattle (my wife's best friend lives there so it's always a positive to suggest a trip there), I'm usually far more optomistic than my reality allows. So might it be worth all of the ramifications to try to do this when I am there for sure?I'm just really worried about making this type of commitment and then having Bandon in February weather, or worse.

To get decent prices on flights, we have to book pretty much NOW.So what are the chances for total washout on November 2?

Wait - I think I've got it. If this doesn't get you all hot and bothered, then what will....From the front...Or the rear...This one has everything a GCA man dreams about at night.
... Its cool looking (sexy...no comment there) and fun to play.

Peter, is that Enniscrone?
Quote from: David Stamm on August 30, 2007, 11:40:06 PMPeter, is that Enniscrone?David! I felt the same recognition and mentioned it to Jay Blasi when I was at ChaBay how the 10th took me back to Enniscrone's old #16. Since being rerouted, it is now #1. It's a powerful and surreal feeling -- seeing something that you've seen before from some other place in the world. The same thing happened when I was on the #9 tee @ Pacific Dunes for the first time. I looked over to Dan King and said "This looks like a hole at Lahinch." I think it's old #7 but could be wrong. Anyway, when I saw your question it triggered a "Yes! I'm not crazy after all." At least not in this case. Though I'm sure that statement could create another debate.
