I got to thinking, if I had to play one course only, what course did I have the most fun on? Enjoyed the shot making, architecture, ambiance, scenery, town...everything considered.
For me, it has to be Pebble Beach. I played there 23 years in a row, it was always a 7 day trip, starting in SF, at Olympic or SFGC, then Pasitempo, Pebble Beach everyday in the mornings unless we could get on CPC, Spyglass once each trip, so 27 holes at Pebble for 4 or 5 days, luch at the 19th hole outside, Cheeseburgers with grilled onions, well done french fries with grilled onions and a bottle of Dom Perigmon.
We teed off at 8 am everyday so we could play fast, our caddies were "foot" and "dog" if they were sober and showed up. My fondestest memories. My dad took me there first, then it was a guys trip and later on it was a couples trip. Last time there was 1993 when we started renting for winters in Florida.
Loved the 17 mile drive, never got over the beauty of the tree formations, the seals, the deer on Spyglass, the iceplant, the 2nd shot on 8, the 16 th at CPC...the best.
What say you yours?
