Weather Without a doubt, this will be an easier Torrey Pines than we typically see. With that being said, this will not be a soft golf course. We had two weeks of really bad rain in Southern California at the beginning of January, but by now, things have really dried out. This means that the greens and fairways will be firmer, but we also usually see some wind in the forecast at Torrey, and the combination of zero wind and warm temperatures should offset the corresponding fir

Weather This has really been a mess this week and an exercise in bad faith, all the way down to Ben Griffin’s rough videos. I remained resolute that those going to these golf courses and gaslighting you into believing that there is SOMETHING ELSE about this golf course that anyone with half a brain can’t ascertain with common sense ball-knowing is bad faith grifting. I let out a deep belly laugh when a PGA Tour rules official came out this morning and declared that the rough

With the Genesis Invitational being moved from iconic Riviera due to the California Wildfires, I find myself tortuously diving into my complicated relationship with Torrey Pines for the second time in four weeks. Yes, the PGA Tour will be returning to the San Diego coast again, although this time under the Signature Event structure: 70 players, no cut, four rounds on the daunting South course. For my full thoughts on Torrey Pines, my 3,000-word-plus preview from two weeks ago

Weather The drier conditions this week should balance out the lack of wind to create similar scoring conditions to what we saw last year. I mean, we are talking not a breath of wind in the forecast. If you really wanted to reach, you could suggest that the players finishing their round very late on Friday afternoon may get more breeze for their final two or three holes, but I wouldn’t be overly concerned there. With that being said, the course conditions of the actual turf sh

The PGA Tour heads to beautiful La Jolla, California this week for the Farmer’s Insurance Open, a staple on the PGA Tour since 1952. It was not held at Torrey Pines (simultaneously one of the greatest architectural travesties and most beautiful walks in the country) until 1968, a public golf facility owned by the city of San Diego. I go to this event every single year, and I am extremely familiar with the golf course. I'll get into my architectural qualms below, but Torrey re
