Whether ceramics fits that bill remains to be seen. But Bob Black recently shot 69 at Torrey Pines North, and gave his ceramic driver a large share of the credit. Not a bad round for a gentleman of 57. But then again, not too surprising from someone who once played Jack Nicklaus to a standstill, even if the Golden Bear was just 13 years old. Tony Allison has been writing about the business of sports for three years.
Golf remains both a passion and an eternal mystery.
The course is very forgiving, with wide landing areas and relatively short holes. Morgan Run is in good shape, and the comfortable ambiance makes for an enjoyable round of golf. The South-North course measures 6,100 yards from the white tees. This is not a daunting distance, but there are dangers lurking. The first two holes on the South course have stealth water hazards that are hard to see from the tee, but easy to find with a slightly errant shot.
