7242 yards, 75.0/146. I shot 5 over. Could have been better, could have been worse. First time I've played it. Check out those par 3s. Not to mention the three 500+yard par 4s. Rough you ask? About 4 inches high, and thick and wirey. luckily I steered clear of it most of the day. The greens were slower than they looked like they should be. Here's a bunch of pics...

I haven't played there since they redid the 3 holes that fell into the ocean. I always thought it was a nice course. The 18th tee offers a phenomenal view, but it looks so out of place. Really kills a bunch of the view from the 17th tee IMO.

We teed off at 7:30. There were a couple of groups in front of us, that we never saw. And there wasn't anyone behind us on the tee sheet for an hour. This was on a Monday though... I did see a good amount of players on the course as we made the turn.

Because he has no taste and no one tells him no.

i grew up in area near by this course. i remember them making it when i would go by there on the way to jr. high ( back around 1995-1997). the weather there is the best during these hot summers. too bad it costs a lot to play. a good alternative near there is los verdes golf course (public). not gonna be getting the great look and style of the course but still a fun course to play w/ a great view (back 9).

After teeing off on the first hole the GPS in the cart says something along the lines of "Welcome to Trump Natinoal, the Best Golf Course in California." Although I've never played Pebble I can't imagine the gall of Trump camp coming up with that line. That being said I thought Trump National was still, most certainly,a VERY nice course.

And that waterfall's hideous behind the 17th green.......why does he do that with all his designs?

I think there were three seperate waterfalls throughout the course. Yeah, it's a bit too much, considering the course is ON the pacific ocean for cryin out loud.

      Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing

      I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning.

      Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
