    You didn’t really sell me on Bitcoin where a Miss Universe and a rap star are the big people talking about it.

    There are some really interesting Par 3 courses out there that have tons of history. One down in that area of the world that definitely has that reputation is a place called Goat Hill. Places like that are so incredibly important to the game of golf because they give opportunities for not only casual golfers to play and not feel overwhelmed but for the youth learning how to play the game in an environment that fosters learning. Growing up I a couple of the courses that I was able to play on the semi-regular (Monroe and Kenwanda) were great places to learn/develop but are now closed. You learn by playing as much as you do taking lessons and range time. Hearing the news this week that there's another shot getting made at repurposing Jackson Park is another one that hits me hard as the Par 3 course there was a place I used to spend summers at when young with my Grandma.

    You're right on both Pebble and Bandon ... I've played Spyglass Hill and Links at Spanish Bay (and Poppy Hills) in the greater Pebble area but haven't played Pebble yet. At Bandon, I've played all of the original 4 plus the Preserve Par 3 course but have yet to get back down to play Sheep Ranch.

    Bitcoin is such an interesting concept to me and one that I fully admit that I don't completely understand. Having countries recognize and treat it as an indexed and supported currency can and will be huge. What I can't get past is what protections are in place to prevent from the bottom just falling out at any given time ... but on the other hand, with inflation in hand combined with what could be transpiring around the world that could be a catalyst to greater understanding and adoption.

    First place I ever got drunk. Used to play with the head pro's son, good player, got a scholly to New Mexico and then he did a bunch of blow and got kicked out. Probably also dead now.
