    Here is a link to a hole by hole tour of Cypress Point.  I had never seen this. Jim Nance narrates.

    I knew the course was at the top but I am just in shock at how amazing this course is.

    Anyone been to the Secrets in Cabo? Wife and I are going there in a few weeks. Has a course on the resort that I'm looking to play a couple times. 9 holes designed by Jack, with the other 9 designed by Greg Norman--sounds kind of odd to me. I would assume the front and back will be pretty different. Anyone ever played there?


    Also......maybe I am being paranoid, but what are your thoughts on traveling flying to Mexico with all this Corona virus nonsense going on?

    I don't think you're being paranoid. Being in airports, on planes, and in hotels seem like a little risky....but nothing that you can't combat with taking precautions.

    I haven't been to the Secrets in Cabo but I've been to the location in Cancun.  Very nice place.  And we're actually going to the Riviera Maya location at the end of April for my friends wedding.  There's a Greg Norman designed 18 hole course there that I'm guessing we'll try to play.  I'm starting to get a little concerned about all this corona virus stuff too....should have bought the travel insurance on this one!!!

    I think you can still buy the insurance up until a day before you leave...

    Sweet fucking Jesus. That looks glorious, and hard. How do you hit some of those greens?

    I think I like Augusta more though

    Pine valley, Augusta and cypress point. Some lucky people get to play those 3

    That really sucks!  I'm sure you've already put a ton of work into.  Hopefully they reschedule.

    Was easy to get excited after the Zoso and Pres Cup.   Obviously he is not practicing that much which makes it all the more impressive that he can still win tournaments.

    Yeah I'm going all 4 days to The Players next week so I'm a little bummed I won't get to follow Tiger but there will be a ton of other great groupings. Especially the first 2 days.

    All four days?! Enjoy it man.

    I am really disappointed Tiger won't be there. Hopefully he'll be at Augusta but I'm not holding my breath or expecting much now. Sucks.

    Back has to be bad. 2 months off going into e masters with no competitive golf is not good. If anyone can show up at that course and play it’s him, but definitely not ideal

    Yep all 4! Can't wait. I follow a group for 18 holes in the morning, then break for lunch, then follow an afternoon group for 18 holes. That'll be Thursday-Friday. On the weekend I'll follow a group around mid morning for 18 holes then catch the leaders teeing off on #1 and follow them the rest of the day.

    The price of badges on the secondary market is tumbling, due to virus concerns.  And now that I'm not going to see PJ in AZ, I've got an open weekend.  Maybe I should take the plunge and dump a bunch of cash on a badge this year!  Of course, it's possible they could end up playing the tournament without fans if the virus gets really bad.
    I've seen quite a few Pearl Jam shows.

    Well it looks like golf will be the only sport going for the foreseeable future.  And not sure how long this will actually last....

    I mean, I hope they do so there is at least something to watch, but they can't be the ONLY sport that continues to play, right?

    Golf TV Ratings could go way up... Only sport on tv.. 20 golfers never coming close to each other..no caddies..no fans..remote controlled cameras... Greens and Tees Disinfected after each player ... 

    let's hope not.. ;)

    Well now there's officially no sports to watch.  This is crazy.  Was surprised the PGA was even trying to keep going....
