I am jealous. Did you actually play a round?

Pebble Beach is nice. Looks like an especially nice day. A lot of the time it is overcast.

Whoa! The tree is blocking our view of the tee.
That's the 6th green on top of the cliff and the par 3 7th hole to the right of that in the background.

Unfortunately no...my son was doing an internship with the Northern California Golf Association at Poppy Hills, which was just around the corner, so we popped over for a visit to Pebble. All the courses in the immediate area were beautiful too.

How would an Iowan know that?

I moved to Iowa from Arizona in 2005 when I retired.
When I lived in Arizona I played Pebble Beach several times a year for about 10 years.

Have you ever played the online golf game World Golf Tour?
They have Closest To the Hole games that feature Pebble Beach, and soon WGT will have Pebble Beach available for virtual online 18 hole stroke play with the course set up in US Open condition.

I think you should maintain you annual migratory pattern to Pebble Beach.
I don't play golf. I get frustrated whenever I come up against the windmill ... so I've quit. But I do like the Monterey Peninsula.

Yea, I'd love to play Pebble Beach. There are a lot of other things I could spend $495 on. The "experience" isn't even worth that much, IMO...and I would consider myself a golf fanatic. It would be fun to hit up the pro shop for a polo shirt and snap a pic like you did though!

Moved from Arizona to Iowa? Sounds backwards haha
The 500 club is the nicest I have played. Im sure they had to close for maintenance after i was done there.
