Nice place to string birdies.  The 3 times I played there, I mostly strung bogies together, and generally more than 3.

Breck was a great time, along with meeting many and making many golf friends.

They had a large Mens Group which played on Wednesday afternoons.

I left the mountains in 2000 and Breck had added an additional 9 holes, which I never had the chance to play.

Breck was becoming tough to get on to play. Hotels could block 2 hours of tee times to accommodate golf packages.

Most of my rounds were after work and weekend mornings. I would show up at 7 am and go out stand by. Usually got out within the hour.

The day which I carded my 6 consecutive birds I went out standby with a couple from San Fran who were members at the Olympic Club.

They never even introduced themselves upon the start of the round. After I almost made the Eagle putt on #6 the guy walked up to me and asked me my name and shook my hand and said "great playing"

Nicklaus did a great job of laying out the course cutting through the foothills of the valley it is built at.

My favorite hole at the time was the par 5, 12th hole which was the signature hole.

The biggest blast was playing Mens Games on Wednesday. On the 18th hole the "Gallery from Hell" would form sitting out on the deck hooting and hollering as the field of players completed the round.

Thanks Four Putt, for acknowledging with a reply.

A few months ago I played 4-5-6 eagle-birdie-birdie on the way to a to an even front side 36. Two were legit good golf, short putts after great approach shots. The last birdie was a chip in that I consider lucky. It kind of freaked me out. I was standing on the 7th tee -3 thinking this could be really cool, I started with a bogey on #1. But I managed to bogey 7-9.

I've had 4 in a row at least three times.......on 2 occasions, I birdied-in from #15........that's always a fun way to finish!!

I made back-to-back eagles once.......

I holed a lob wedge on a 364yd par4............. then knocked a 3-rescue club stiff on a 517yd par5.   The hilarious part about this day is I played ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE on this day!!  In spite of making EAGLE-EAGLE...my 18 hole score is one I'd like to forget, and I did so successfully!!  I honestly don't remember my score....Haha..

My only 2 memories from this day:

1. looking for lost balls in hazards

2. going EAGLE-EAGLE

What's in Paul's Bag:
- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Driver

In early 2000's i played and qualified for the annual 4 county match play championships. First match I had something so magical happen..starting on the 2 nd hole I went birdie/ birdie/ birdie / eagle/ birdie...not only did I win convincingly..I had a small group of spectators witnessing this. Second day ( on a new course..2nd match) ..I went birdie / eagle/ birdie mid way thru the match to win as well. It was such a surreal weekend..I will never ever forget how easy the game felt these 2 magical days. Not sure how it turned out that way,,but I would wish everyone could experience this at least once in their lives....I was dumbfounded.,and in awe.. Will never forget that weekend back in early 2000...I remember ever shot like it happened yesterday,,

Like working on the swing,,score means nothing to me. Might just go to the range and give up playing... ( might happen)

    • I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.  
    • Day 48, June 23.  After work today, I took 25 minutes in my practice room;  6-iron, same everything as yesterday except the time and count. 
    • Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.
    • The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
