I can’t believe I thought the traffic and roads in San Diego were the worst it could get.  Los Angeles is a whole other animal, and you can’t help but wonder if the traffic ever stops or if anyone has a family at home that cares about them.

That being said, Hogan’s Alley was worth the struggle with parking every morning.  Beautiful bunkers, great undulations on the greens, and everyone and their mother this past week said they’ve never seen the course in better condition.  So, of course it had to rain.  But this pre-1930s design held up extraordinarily well, and even though it rained all day on Friday, they never even thought about cancelling play.  The drainage on the course is just too spectacular.  


But congratulations to Steve Stricker—the funniest part of that being that when I saw him playing in the pro-am, I didn’t think he had a chance in hell of even making the cut.

Here are some of the highlights:

1.       Parking war-stories with Geoff Shackleford and Jaime Diaz

2.       Corey Pavin’s Assistant Captain announcement and red-velvet cupcakes

3.       The Soap Opera that ensued with the catering people

4.       Joining Tim Clark’s posse on the last day
