Full review on Peachtree is coming, some time is needed to look and ponder just how good the course really is. But a Top 5 ranking in the Johnny B Top 25 is almost assured.
But to the parts of the trip outside the course...
First, on the way into town while listening to the radio, a story came on about a young lad who's parents purchased him a $200,000 Ferrari for his 16th birthday. He proceeds, however long later, to get into a wreck and get rather severely injured. Poor guy. But on the Al Hunt Radio Show, as they are about to go to commercial, the producer starts playing Tom Petty's Mary Jane's Last Dance and Al starts saying a prayer for the lad who wrecked his car. The mixture of the song and the prayer was quite odd, certainly the producer must not have known a prayer was upcoming. Talking to the Lord while playing a song about drug use...don't hear that everyday.
Next, while on the interstate, a motorcycle comes by doing at least 125 mph. Does it make someone a terrible person for wishing they could turn directly in front of idiots like that and cause them to wipe out?
The atmosphere at Peachtree is very nice. Certainly golf only and understated. Anyone who bags in this course either hates any and everything associated with Robert Trent Jones and/or Bobby Jones or they flat out don't know what they're talking about. This course has "it," that is for sure.
Oh, one of the golfers playing in the group today was a member at Piedmont Driving Club. A conversation about the "incident" was never had. Link to said incident here: http://www.businessinsider.com/letter-from-president-of-atlantas-piedmont-driving-club-over-drunk-behavior-2012-6 for those who don't know.
All in all, this was a fun trip. The course was awesome, the drive not bad. Have to make effort to get to Atlanta a but more often.
