I was in Monterey for a few days at the end of October and I thought I would share a few photos of how things are looking at Pebble Beach. Pebble Beach….the king of American public golf even though many here might disagree with that statement.
I had walked the course back in 2003, and everyone knows all the holes from the AT&T, but I was quickly reminded how small the putting surfaces are throughout the entire 18 holes! Pebble Beach has to easily have the smallest greens in major championship golf, correct?
In all of my travels throughout America, the Monterey Peninsula is probably the most beautiful place I’ve been in the lower 48. The setting of Pebble Beach does not disappoint in this regard, and even though most of the round was cloud covered, on a few holes the sun peaked out a couple times.
So, here’s a shot or so from each hole and for those of you that haven’t been there for a while you can compare/contrast what’s currently there with what you remember. This is mainly just a photo op but feel free to discuss as well. Enjoy.
