In fairness, the conditions at Pebble have improved dramatically in the last 10 years, and I believe
there is less talk about the greens.
I played Pebble a few weeks ago and could not believe how good the conditions were.
Back in the late 90's, the conditions of all the courses were usually pretty bad. Soft, wet, bumpy.
It definitely took some toughness (which I struggled with
) to deal with standing over some putts
knowing you can't make it!
Back then, Riviera was even worse. I had a putt on 18 at Riviera from 4 feet very late Friday with a 2 shot
cushion to make the cut. I actually lagged it. The green was so foot printed up there was know way if I missed it by more than
a foot I believed I could make the next one!
Riviera is another course that in the past years has improved the conditions dramatically. Those greens were beautiful the days aftert he tournament the past couple years!
