Golfing at Bandon Dunes
Our group at Pacific Dunes.
Today we played 36 holes at Bandon Dunes. In the morning we played Pacific Dunes, and in the afternoon we played the newsest course, Old Macdonald. Both of these courses are ranked among the best in the US. Chris and I had the privilege of playing with Shane Bacon from Yahoo Sports and Jim Achenbach from Golfweek in the morning.
The most interesting part for me was the weather in Oregon. Over the course of 18 holes, the weather went from sunny to rainy/windy to freezing cold and back to sunny. It now makes sense why the caddies chose the adidas ClimaProof Storm rain suit for their official caddie suit. They wanted a rain suit that will protect them from the rain, but also be comfortable when the weather changes literally within minutes.
Pacific Dunes and Old Macdonald are two completely different courses, but both absolutely stunning. I played so-so in the morning (think I had a jet-lag swing) and came back strong in the afternoon to shoot 79.

Just before we were heading out to play Old Macdonald in the afternoon, Chris and I were each given a pair of the new AdiPURE Z shoes. I wore the all black. This golf shoe doesn’t come out until September, but we were able to play the second 18 with them. I absolutely love this shoe. It is extremely comfortable, has all the technology and looks great. I also really like the stitching on the shoe.

Luckily we had caddies all day. I don’t think I would have survived carrying my bag for 36 holes! Even our director, Jeff, had Aaron as his caddie!

Tomorrow we are playing Pacific Trails and interviewing with the director of marketing for adidas Golf. Wish me luck!
