From Golf Today:
The torrential rains that swept across the western United States this week haven't spared the area's golf courses. Even the famed Pebble Beach Golf Links couldn't escape Mother Nature's wrath, although reports that the course's 18th green has fallen into the Pacific Ocean are exaggerated.
Approximately 200 square feet of rough along the left side of the 18th hole -- one of the most famous holes in the world -- dropped into the ocean, according to The San Jose Mercury News, but play on Jan. 13 was not affected. The chunk of real estate that took the dive is about 300 yards off the tee, and since most players aim to the right side of the fairway, it should have no impact on next month's AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
