Pinnacle Point simply put scary. Out
of all three course
s, I would rate it the most beautiful
out of the three, but, at the same
time, it's by far the hardest. There
were a couple of tee shots that had
me shaking.
Pezula left a mark on me because it
had the perfect mixture. Start with
some gorgeous land, sprinkle in
some undulation on the greens, and
top it off with a tough but playable
layout. Sometimes this game can
grab you by the balls and not let go,
but this time Pezula let go, and you
know what, a gentle kick in the balls
I can deal with.
Some pros mention the zone where it
all just kind of disappears. I feel like I
experienced it this trip, it was a
different kind though. It was the kind
where the views took me to a place
where, regardless of the quality of
my game, I was hypnotized by the
calmness and serenity the Garden
Route delivers.
