Crescent Oaks
Long drive: #8 (par 4)
Base tees are BLUE, except for the usual 55/25 guys (soon to be renamed "The List"), who can move up to WHITE. Let me know.
Crescent Oaks has such a bad roster of holes: #1, #6, #8, #12, #14, #15, #18. It's one of those places where you get to each tee box and say "Oh... I remember this hole. Ugh." Maybe the hurricanes knocked a bunch of trees down last year?
We're also going to be fighting rain all day. So be prepared.
See you Sunday.
Few clubs in the Bay area match the beauty, challenge, and conditions here at Crescent Oaks. The course comes in at just under 6,800 yards from the back tees and is characterized by tall cypress lined tee-shots, hollow filled fairways, and firm greens. It begins with a uniquely challenging 1st tee, but soon opens up after you begin your trek through the preserve. As the course unfolds you’ll quickly realize that no two tee shots are alike, and often require the player to pick from decidedly different strategies. This allows players to attack the course consistently, while never being forced to play a game they don’t have. Players always have a safe route on each hole, and a more aggressive, but more rewarding, option also lies in wait to be discovered.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see which opinion is more accurate (Chandler's or the Crescent Oaks website). My money is on Chandler's opinion.
ReplyDelete"...require(s) the player to pick from decidedly different strategies" by definition means the course CAN'T "allow players to attack the course consistently" or "never [be forced] to play a game they don't have."
ReplyDelete"It begins with a uniquely challenging 1st tee" translation: It opens with an absolute fuck you of a first tee. A 400+ par 4 down a hallway. Make sure to take enough club, because shot two has a forced carry over a creek. To top off this shit sundae, we placed a bunker protecting the entire front.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the entire right side is OB (driving range).
DeleteI hope they have a decent price on pitchers.
ReplyDeleteI tried to lobby dear leader to let me accrue pitchers at Sceptre. They had a BoGo pitcher deal at $13.50.
DeleteI allowed someone to pre-pay a pitcher once. The Board literally threatened to vote me out if I did it again.
DeleteCan’t wait for Adam to purchase that $28 pitcher at Cabot.
