Torrey Pines Going South, Vol. 2

Residents and the San Diego Union Tribune's Tod Leonard suspect that daily fee golfers are pretty darn low on the list of priorities when it comes to what’s best for Torrey Pines.

That is a problem considering it's a municipal, daily fee facility.

The article raises more questions about turning the North Course's fine soil-based greens into USGA greens to improve turf conditions, even as the North greens have been far better than the South's for three years now.

That destroying-the-village-to-save-it concept never does sit well, does it?

Amazingly, the debate and outcry centers around the need to update the course, which golfers don’t want to play or pay for if it'll turn out like the dreadful South Course redo.

The driving force behind the redo seems to be the Century Club and the folks running the pricey Lodge at Torrey Pines, which prematurely announced the renovation in its newsletter.
