Eamon is one funny dude... and to think he wrote that much without some of his typically colorful Irish language.

Greg, publishing in public forums calls for considerably more decorum than is necessary in your company in Cabo.

LOL, I did not know you frequented this site. Your humor took me back to the college days with Irish teammates Pat Geraghty, Michael Barrett and Colin Cassidy.... *******   ***** all of them!



It's troubling that I know exactly what each of those *'s stands for.

There was zero doubt in my mind.

Michael,

Thanks for the photo tour.  It looks fantastic and from what I can tell you have done a great job of capturing some of the features of the course.

My name is Matthew. My dad is Michael. It happens a lot (at least once a week).
But, thanks for the thank you.  It only took a couple of hours to take the pictures and describe the holes. The hard part was posting all of the pictures.

Thank you for posting the pin sheet, William.

For hole 1- pin locations #1 and #3 are probably the hardest.
2- #3
3- #1
4- #1
5- #3
6- #2
7-#1
8- #2
9- #2
10- #1
11- #2
12- #2
13- #2

I think #2 would probably be the hardest in general, but they all have hard hole locations.

Note:  Where the hell are they going to put the #1 location on hole 8. It is a giant slope in pin spot #1.

I was just pointing out which pin locations I thought would play the hardest.

And I still can't figure out where they would put the holes in the pin location of #1 on 8. Maybe they could squeeze it on the front right corner of the green.

Matthew,

How about front left on #8, have not played it there yet, we'll see.

I do think the pin sheet for all of the Bandon courses could be considered a weakness for the players, in that it lends itself to predictability and inflexibility etc...

I like the sheets to remind me how deep the greens are as opposed to my home home course.

Thanks!!!!!!!
It's all about the golf!

Looking at that sheet, I think I would need each graphic to be at the same scale. I would also want to know how wide each green is. I wonder if they will create a yardage book which would show all the humps in the greens.

It would take a very long time to make a yardage book with every hump and bump on the greens because there are a ton of them.
