"Definition of insanity? Playing West Coast Swing in January & February! Only 2 bad months of weather for the entire year."
/John Strege makes what seems like an old but entirely necessary case for flipping the Florida and California PGA Tour swings, and features an unusually opinionated line from Adam Scott.
Last week, Steve Stricker was lamenting Pebble Beach's typical winter weather while explaining why he was opting to skip the event and return home to warmer climes in...Wisconsin?
"I just don't care to go up there and fight with that weather too much," Stricker said. "It's sad. They've got a great venue for the tournament, and if it was in the fall, I think it would be a better date. But I'm not going."
Adam Scott also piled on a week earlier at the Northern Trust Open. "I think it will be great if we were here at a different time of year, if it could possibly happen," he said. "I think that would be a great move. It would be great to play courses like Riviera and Pebble Beach and Spyglass and Monterey in conditions that are tournament-suitable for the level of tournament we are playing, because a lot of the great design work of these courses is taken out when it's so wet and the ball just plugs where it lands."
