That was great. I love the Every Hole at series.

Drones, you gotta love 'em. Would we get these if they had to use a helicopter?

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Just sensational, as is the Pine Valley one.

Cypress Point makes Pebble Beach look like a goat track.

This Ellerston flyover is great too. More exclusive than Augusta and with a slope of 153.

Thanks @iacas. Probably the most ornate use of bunkers anywhere. 

16, 17 and 18 combined prolly play 5-6 shots harder than the rest of the course. 

Nantz...😁....

Ellerston pretty but looks like a biaaatch to score on.

I think I would rather play Cypress than Augusta. Not that I will ever get the chance to play either of them. I have a buddy who's played them both and he claims he would rather play Cypress than Augusta any day. And my response is usually, "that 's a bold statement". 

My bag:

Taylor Made R7 (x-stiff).
Taylor Made Burner 2 irons (stiff)

Cypress over Augusta any day.

I enjoyed Cypress in foggy that was off and on in intensity, despite a caddy on the first fairway after hitting 3 wood off the tee over the road, he asks me what club I hit 185, I told him hard 7 or easy 6.  This was balata days.  I flew the green by 40-45 yards.  I stepped off 142 to the pin.  His explanation, I usually add 2 clubs to what guests tell me.  43 yards is more like 4 clubs.  On another hole he tells me 95 yards, I hit SW 92 yards and 35 yards short.  He told me he was a pga tour caddy, so, it took me about 9 holes to stop listening to him but in the fog, it was hard not too.  The other caddy came up to me on 10th fairway...."don't listen to him, he doesn't know what he is talking about"......it kinda jaded what could have been an amazing round and in the fog, I couldn't see much of the beuaty.

The best part of that day was playing Pebble in the afternoon.  Sun came out. Shot the same score on both course, but had way more fun at Pebble.

Dewsweepers at Cypress. They allow unaccompanied play (sponsored, of course) from 7:30-8:30 most days. Probably because it is too cold for the members to play. We were first on the tee on a cold, crisp beautiful morning. It warmed up nicely by the third hole and the rest of the day was glorious. The guy who got us on said that he felt we were cheated a bit because we should have to play it with SOME wind.

5th green. I wish I had taken more pictures of this hole. Look at the drone shots and it is a jungle of bunkers from the tee. When you look back at the hole from the green you can't see a single bunker. Amazing design feature.

Approach to #6, second par five in a row.

Approach to #8, short dogleg par 4.

View of #13 from the 9th tee. This is the highest point on the golf course. You start at the ocean, work your way into the woods, slowly move up into the dunes, and slowly work your way back to the ocean. You might think it's a hard walk, but it's not. Very gradual changes.

Anticipation. Walking to #16 tee.

#16 tee. 220 to the pin.

I thought I didn't carry my shot at first but you can see my ball just short of the front bunker.

That right there, the hole with the adjacent road (17 Mile Drive), is where I sneak onto Cyprus Point.  It looks like there is no parking so a buddy would have to drop me off with clubs.  The cost of the excursion, minus any jail time, would be the fee to get onto 17 Mile Drive.

#17 with large lateral hazard. Big Sur in the far distance.

Approach to #18. 18 is probably the weakest hole on the golf course, a jumble of cypresses and a ribbon of a fairway. They have to get you back to the clubhouse somehow.

The walk back to the clubhouse from #18. That's #16 in the distance.

15th is my favorite hole on the course by far and one of the most memorable short shots.  I can't remember what I hit, but the pin was in that little sliver up front.  I went for it.  Also went to the green on 16.

    • We do not buy extended warranties. We will use one of our credit cards for the purchase that extends the warranty "x 2". Our thoughts are: a. if the item is a lemon, it will likely break right away and we can attempt to apply the original warranty or credit card extension. b. over the long haul, we will probably save more money by not purchasing the extended warranty and fixing/junking broken items out of our own pocket. The important thing is to keep some records of purchases so one may make a claim under the manufacturer's warranty. I recently sent back some Footjoy shoes for leaking and Footjoy did a reat job of making the claim process work very well. I had the original receipt, warrant info and box. Easy peasy.

    • This is pretty much how I look at it.  I understand there are times when the piece of mind has value. I think over the long haul I'm money ahead by never buying the extended warrantee. Hell, What do I know? I went to Ch!cago PubIic SchooIs.
