Greenguy, I can't argue very passionately that there is any course I like more than Shinnecock Hills, but I do love the Open when it's played at Pebble Beach. The set-up is different from the yearly AT&T pro-am tournament, and weather can be a real factor. It may be that I'm just more familiar with the charms and challenges of Pebble than with the characteristics of other Open venues that we only see every 10 years or so.
