The caddies also can't carry your clubs right now either. Ball hunting and advice only. Walk, cart, or bring your own push cart (push carts not usually allowed)
I ended up settling down and played pretty good. Shot 78. Almost made an ace on 7. Divot was about six inches in front of the cup. The ball hops just right of the flag, spins back and stops about 1 inche from going in. My caddie was almost as excited as I was.AgOutsideAustin said:
Quit after two ? Smart man .....
Similar experience on No. 1. That first tee shot may be the most nervous I've ever been hitting a golf ball. It's PB and there is always a decent crowd standing around watching whoever is teeing off. Went with a 5-wood. Actually did OK. Put it down the right side of the fairway with about 140 in. Put my second in the right green side bunker. Smashed my third over the green into the left bunker. Finally got on the green and 2 putted.Texmid said:
I was really fired up playing Pebble. Smashed a driver off the first tee. Hit a wedge into the bunker on the left. Hit that ball over the green and into the bunker on the right. Finally get on the green and two-putt for a double bogey.
Hole 2 I kill it off the tee. Hit a 4-iron onto the green and sink the putt for Eagle.
Even par after two.
Great day!

Here is a picture of the divot.

No. 2. I hit a decent drive and put my second in the right green side bunker. I then proceeded to air mail my 3rd over the green and into the OB area behind it. Walked off with an 8.
Settled down after that and had a string of pars with a birdie to boot.
Yeah unfortunately we probably won't get the most out of our trip, but we are starting in Napa for a few days then heading over. Golf is the most important part of the last 2 days for me. The rest will work itself out.aggiedent said:
And OP, you are aware that Monterey County has shutdown their bars, restaurants, etc for indoor service, right?
That's exactly the trip I took last year. 3 days in Napa, then drove down to Monterrey for 3 days.TX_Aggie37 said:Yeah unfortunately we probably won't get the most out of our trip, but we are starting in Napa for a few days then heading over.

Get a caddie on both courses and just enjoy it. Pebble can be scored on, but I found myself distracted quite a bit and not really paying attention to golf. It's awesome. The teeth of Spyglass are its greens. I missed a 30 foot eagle putt by about 2 inches and it came back almost the exact same spot. I ended up with a 7.
Also, I have no idea if it will be this way now, but the first tee box on Pebble Beach is in the middle of the resort so you might have a over 100 people watching you.
My PB caddie was nothing special and basically just carried my bag. My caddie at Spyglass was pretty awesome. I can't remember what hole, but Cypress Point is in the distance and the caddie points it out. He also points to a hawk circling high above Cypress Point. After pointing to the hawk, you goes "You know what that is? That's the Cypress Point comment box."dc509 said:
