Played The Glass yesterday with Long4par on a nearly picture perfect day. We Tee’d off on my traditional 9AM tee time allowing the morning fog to clear out for beautiful views of the bay. Wind kicked up in the afternoon on the last few holes which is normal for here but still manageable.

Greens were a perfect 10 rolling nice and fast as expected for this place. Greens at Spyglass look docile, but make no mistake they have some serious bite to them. Breaks are subtle but serious!

Fairways are about as perfect as you could imagine. Completely lush throughout offering perfect lies all while providing decent roll out. Rough is designed to be penal and it is. Only about 3” tall, the rough at Spyglass is like Velcro! Grabs your club and holds on. Frequently requires an extra club.

Bunkers were excellent as well. The tee boxes while being great (rated at a 9) were the “weak” link of the course. They were level with great coverage, but I have actually seen them in better shape.

I will say that the range balls are starting to look pretty beat up. Range balls are TP5/x balls and with Taylormade releasing their new 2021 version this week, I would hope that Pebble Corporation is planning on replacing the range balls soon with the new generation TP5/x models.

The only thing that wasn’t picture perfect was Long4par walking away with the TBC (though I would imagine Jim sees that differently)! I mustered up 4 pars in the last 6 holes but couldn’t get any of the birdie putts to drop. Still it was an absolute pleasure to tee it up with Jim and I look forward to the our next round!
