Played Spyglass Hill on Thursday with the rest of the gang. We had some weather to deal with but other than about a 20 minute period where the rain really came down along with high winds, it wasn’t too bad. I have to say how well the course held up to the rain. No standing water on the greens (in fact they were even watering the greens) and the fairways were excellent. Yes it was lift, clean and place, but the fairways were still a joy to hit from.

Greens were nice as well. As the others mentioned there was a very light top dressing on them but it didn’t really affect the putts. They still rolled smooth at a medium pace. Tee boxes were excellent and the sand traps were as good as you could expect in these conditions.

Other than that 15-20 minute period of high wind and heavy rain, it wasn’t all that bad. JohnnyGK had a 15 footer for eagle, I had 6 pars (2 birdie putts lipped out), Deepsea14 had his usual barrage of 1 putts (with his share of pars as well) and of course RGM2525 was down the middle all day long giving our fore-caddie a reprieve from his side job as a search and rescue member! And speaking of our fore-caddie, Cody is one of our regular caddies and he earned his stripes Thursday. How he kept track of so many stray balls is beyond me! Especially when we routinely had at least one ball on each side of the fairway.

The Glass is still one of my all time favorite tracks and I have to agree with JohnnyGK. It’s my second favorite course behind Pebble Beach. It was so awesome to play them back to back with RGM2525 and JohnnyGk.
