Since Pebble is Pebble, I'll keep it simple and just post some photos of the course as it's preparing for the Open.
It was a cold and windy day here and although some sunshine would have been a nice little bonus, it was fun to play with the challenge that the Monterey peninsula can provide. Facing the par 5 14th against the wind makes the hole jokingly difficult. Three good shots and I was still nowhere close to the green. Good stuff.
The stretch from 6-8 and closing with 17-18 were some of most fun I've had playing the game.
The photos themselves are not my best, but it's difficult to take bad pictures of the ocean holes on this course. Enjoy.

Looks innocent until you are up close-
Not a good place to fall short.
