Pebble Beach


Today I went to the AT&T Pebble Beach National ProAm. Pebble Beach is definitely the most beautiful golf course I've ever seen, if not the most beautiful place I've ever been.
I drove down to Monterey early this morning and got to the course just as the leaders teed off. I followed a few different groups, like David Duval's, Padraig Harrington's and Phil Mikelson's. Then I went and found a great spot on 18 just in front of the right green side bunker where I could watch the leaders finish. For all of you who didn't see it, the tournament came down to the wire. David Duval and JB Holmes finished at 15 under, while defending champion Dustin Johnson was also 15 under going into 18. Johnson took a risk and tried to reach the green in two, but dumped it into the bunker that I was standing right in front of. He ended up making an awesome bunker shot that left him a relatively easy putt for the win. It was an awesome finish.
After the tournament I walked around Monterey and then ate at this awesome restaurant overlooking the Pacific. Here are some of the pictures from today. (note: I did not take the golf pictures, camera's weren't allowed on the course, but all the pictures are of things I witnessed)

Ben, so glad you're having fun and seeing the sites! But, don't get any ideas from those crazy comments from Caylen, ("forget moving back down south") I think she's delirious or an a sugar high. Have fun with the rest of your trip!!
