I love playing at Torrey Pines, and the North Course is always my first choice. Although so much history has occurred on the South, it is celebrated as soon as you walk in from the parking lot.

It’s such a special place, with its ocean views, broad canyons, and the occasional snakes or coyotes.

The course is kept in great condition, and I play there any time I can.

We had a 6:45 am Sunday start time; usually a time preferred by quick players.

We were cruising along very well through the first five or six holes, when all of a sudden we saw a parade of golf carts, dumping a tournament right in front of us.

Our pace of play ground to a halt; in fact one member of our foursome had to quit after 14 holes.

I understand the course needing to make money, but we should have been warned and had marshals moving them along.
