Brian Smock has played enough golf around San Diego County that he can rattle off a list of places where he owns the course record.
He’s most proud of the 60 he shot at his home course, Coronado Municipal. And there are a handful of others, including Salt Creek, Vineyard, North Island, even Real Del Mar Golf Resort, between Tijuana and Rosarito in Baja California.
But of all the courses in San Diego County, the two he wouldn’t mind owning the records on are the tracks he’ll play this week for the first time as a professional, the North and South Courses of Torrey Pines. Smock is in the Farmers Insurance Open courtesy of a sponsor’s exemption from the Century Club. But if ever a local guy deserved a shot at making big PGA Tour money, it’s Smock, a professional on the minor tours since 1994, but coming off his best season ever on the Nationwide Tour.
