How cool is it that a guy called 'Se(a)ward' is here discussing Se(a)walls... in Monterey!!

Cool!

FBD.

It is cool.

He's a cool guy too.

Has a GREAT job too.  That is, when he doesn't have to corral rogue course raters.

 

And Kelly, it's now your ass as well if this is a waste.

Oh, it's not a waste.

If, having read it, you pronounce it a waste, I will buy it from you -- and sentence you to a lifetime of reading John Grisham.

(Cf. our much earlier discussion of Mr. McPhee -- locatable by Search-ing for "McPhee.")

Now that might fall under the purview of "cruel and unusual punishment"!

Page 2 of the Sports Section of the SF Chronicle has a picture of the damage on #18 at Pebble. A course employee is quoted as saying the damage is "insignificant."

The Santa Rosa Press Democrat has an article today (1/13/05) about the damage at Pebble. You can pull it up online (including a color photo) at:

The PD photographer whose picture is on the PD home page, Kent Porter, is the answer to a extraordinarily obscure PGA Tour trivia question. Can anyone give me the question?

Injured by Davis Love.

Thanks Google.

I'm sorry, Mr. Huntley. Your answer must be in the form of a question!

BUZZER....

Who is the man who got injured by Davis Love III?

Huckaby steals the money.

Dan,
Someone who has never been in my kitchen?

AT & T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, 2003 (courtesy of www.pgatour.com):

In a tournament known for dramatic final-round comebacks -- particularly in the last three years, when Tiger Woods, Matt Gogel and Love all rallied to win on the last day -- Love became the first 54-hole leader to hold on since Brett Ogle in 1993.

Love got his biggest break at the par-3 12th, where his tee shot took a serendipitous bounce off greenside photographer Kent Porter. Love tossed the ball to Porter as a keepsake.

"If we hit somebody on the head, we give them the ball," Love said with a grin. "If felt like if you hit a guy in the foot and it comes back on a green and you make a birdie, he at least deserves the ball -- maybe more."

--------------

Love was unraveling. He was DEAD in the high grass back of 12 when this doofus sitting too close to the green didn't get out of the way.

So the correct question is: Who was the doofus who let Davis Love win at Pebble Beach in 2003?

I think the judges would have given it to me.

 

No chance -- absent some significant payola.

It looks like you can see the chunk that fell in from that Pebble Beach live-cam.  Basically draw a straight line (right) from the short tree in the fariway to the edge of the cliff.  Looks like you can see some of the ground in the water.

btw - Is nobody playing at PBGL today?  I've been checking back periodically and nobody seems to be out there today.

There's a single on 18 right now.

Huck,

If people don't play it in this weather, how in the world does anyone expect to be able to reach Mucci-esque knowledge of the course in ALL conditions?  $395 or no $395, you can't put a price on complete knowledge.

Well now that is a very good point.
 

Do remember also it's only 12:30 here... groups are starting to come through.  Given normal resort time pace of play, these guys likely started not much after dawn.

And JB, no surprise you haven't played Poppy - your time on the Peninsula is most definitely spent on superior courses.  Hey, I like Poppy... but if one can play some of the others, it's always gonna be low priority.
