It's time to set the stage for a truly special #THPCallOut.
The Battlefield...
On February 2nd, as the early morning sun starts burning off the fog covering the epic La Jolla, CA coastline, Alez367 and I will be teeing it up on the legendary Torrey Pines South Course.
What makes this day so special? It's the first day that Torrey Pines South will be back opened up to the public following the Farmers Insurance Open, and you guessed it, still in PGA Tour tournament conditions.
A Little Background...
So, Alez367 and I have been playing golf together for 6-7 years now. And a good number of our outings have been at Torrey, both South and North, so I don't think anyone has a home court advantage here. However, Mr. Golf-a-holic over here plays at least 5 times a month. Myself? While I once had a pretty low single digit handicap, finishing college, starting a career, marriage, and family has left me with a pretty limited schedule. These days I'm lucky to get out once every six weeks or so, and this will be my first round since early last November.
Time for the knitty gritty...
Alez367 plays to 5.5, and while I don't have an official index at the moment, I've been in the mid-upper 80's my last few rounds. I'll let Alez make his case but I submit that I should get 4 strokes per side.
The Agreed Upon Format...
We will be playing match play with Alez367 giving me a stroke on the 3 hardest holes per side. According to the score card this ends up being holes 1, 4, and 7 on the front and 12, 13, and 17 on the back. This is a public shotgun start and we don't have our hole assignment yet, so these stroke holes may or may not become pivotal moments in our match!
