About 10 years ago I was the assistant professional there! Luckily I know the owners/management really well and they treated me like a king and allowed me to jump ahead of the men’s league (I also knew all the guys in men’s league so they didn’t care). I played both the Old Course and the Ocean Course (see other video) before the sun came up on these two days. Then I had tee times at other courses around 11am that I had to get to, followed by a warriors game on one of the nights. Was a sick trip!!
Great video and commentary! My son will be playing in a match here off the black tees so your insights on where to aim and what to avoid off the tee are very helpful though he does not hit it as far as you do. Two quick questions - do you know if the drop zone on 13 is always there and the conditions seem pretty calm when you played. Is this typical as I would have expected a lot more wind given the proximity to the ocean.
After watching a few of your videos I just realized something: the club never hangs directly below your shoulders. You have your arms extended just like Moe Norman.😺
I've heard a bit about Half Moon Bay, but didn't realise the extent of golf available. The Old Course looks great, I assume the Ocean Course is the one with all the views, is that the one that's more "famous"? Great video too by the way!
The Ocean Course has amazing views! I always have thought the old course is the better all around golf course, but the ocean course is so beautiful! I’ll actually be uploading a video at the ocean course this weekend, so stay tuned!
@@carsonjoens this is my home course and I am a member here. With that being said, I will have to agree 100% with what you said. The Olds is a more all around, more challenging, course. While the Ocean is a more open, wider, course with great views. No matter what course you play, you don't be disappointed.
What a strange course with the houses and cars so close to the playing area any wild shots and you could be in big trouble and its called an Albatross in the UK not a Double Eagle sounds so much better ?
18 is great, but its not close to 18 at Pebble. Think of the risk/reward at Pebble and the history. Not close, imo. Same for 18 at Harding Park. If a Hero Risk-Reward shot is not available then its just meh.
there’s risk reward for trying to carry the ravine about 80 yards from the green. About a 290 cover from the tips. otherwise you’re laying up with an iron.
@@tylerleyva2468 meh. Every player that tees it up on 18 at pebble has the same choice on how close to the ocean they are willing to risk to try and reach the green in 2. Not some ravine that only pros from the tips need to worry about. 18 at Pebble is the best closing hole in the sport, imo.
I am so excited to play this in 2 weeks. Great RD Carson!
This is my absolute favorite golf course. Played the ocean course last year and playing the old course next month.
Dude. The club raise on two. I wish I was driving by and saw that.
And the club raise on seven. Now I'm gonna' finish this video just to see how many more there are.
Lol I feel like the ocean course video I had more. I had like 3 lip outs on that one.
Wow. U play lots of rounds at very nice courses...
My average course has burnt bare fairways and bumpy greens...
How were you able to secure an early tee time like this?

Sorry for the late response! Old course is always less windy, but 17 & 18 will blow real hard.
Morning is usually very calm, evenings are a bit breezy

If you’re gonna compare me to Moe Norman then I’ll take that everyday! Haha
The last two holes are amazing...but the first 16 feel like a muni you can find all across the country
times those two holes by 9 and you get the ocean course
@@johnsacco4994 haven't played ocean course yet...but definitinly looks better than olde course
Great stuff! Question. At 10:25 do you have 2 cameras rolling or you did a replay?
Yea when I play alone I try to use two cameras as much as possible!

Read what Tom Doak says about the Old course, completely eviscerates it
Where can I read it?
