Blue Crush from Santa Cruz must have gotten exceedingly lucky to play this course in 4:25. I know... it is my home course and outside of perhaps a February Tuesday when it's raining, let's just say it's EXCEEDINGLY rare to be able to play this course in less than 5 hours. On weekends? Forget it. 5:30 is lightning fast. And why? Can we say greed and seven minute tee-time intervals? Oh well... it's too bad too because the staff is all very nice and the course really is darn good. If you find better greens in terms of condition and contour, let me know - it's amazing what the groundskeeping staff here does - darn near miraculous given the massive amount of play.

In any case, visitors do beware - slow play is the normal thing at Santa Teresa. If you get lucky and find a quick day, go get a lottery ticket.
