So here's the results of the prop bets. If you took the OVER on the number of bunkers I'd be in, you won - I was in 11...and one of them I took 3 to get out (the front right bunker on 13). I had the under and lost. The over/under # was 10.
If you took the UNDER on the number of times I'd chip or putt into a bunker, you won. I did that ZERO times. (The number for the prop bet was 3.5).
The stats were: the greens were stimping at 11, and we had 15 mph winds. We had overcast skies to start, caught a five minute rain storm, then the sun came out, but it stayed breezy all day.
My favorite aspect of the course was the long ridge across the property atop which several greens are perched, the par-4s at two and 11 for example. I also particularly enjoyed the stretch from 4-7. The par-3s ate me alive. That's all I'm going to say:)
I need to work on my irons...
Overall thoughts, briefly: Such marvelous shaping, angles on approaches, and perfect greens! And yes, the overall experience was stately, refined, graceful, and camaraderous. Saw a fistful of old friends. Also saw Tom Fazio going out as we were coming in. Seeing the Coleman Cup with its Indian Head was amazing. I'll write more after I get a chance to take the time to organize my notes and post some pics.
On the trip I also played Old Memorial and both Streamsongs. We'll have threads on those soon too.
