Day 2 - Playing Pebble Beach today! This is the one that everyone was waiting for. But first, breakfast. YUM!!!
Speaking of yum, bought some cherry-plums yesterday at a Farmer's Market. Loved the market!
Okay, back to golf. Ready on the first tee! Funny but I was actually nervous hitting the first shot. Maybe because there were quite a few people hanging around and watching.
Bobby is already taking the "scenic" route :-P
You know a bunker is really deep when they have to put steps to get in and out of it!
Check out these mansions along the golf course. Woah!!!
Once we get to Hole #5, we hit the view along the coast. I think the men are also enjoying not having to carry their own golf bags today:
While we are enjoying the view, the seagull steals food from the golf cart. Bad seagull... BAD!!!
Oh well, too late now. In the meantime... Hole #6: Where is the green???
The famous hole #7 - only playing 90 yards today. Bob almost had a hole-in-one here!
We did manage 3 birdies. How about that!
Love this photo of all of us from the 8th tee box looking down towards the 7th green. One of our caddies was quite the photographer:
The sign says "Danger. Steep Cliff". Good thing all of our golf balls stopped right before the drop!
I think I would be very happy with just the guestroom at this mansion!!!
I love the new marketing idea on the Snicker chocolate bars!
Bobby is burning off some of that sugar from the chocolate bar - really excited over the 2010 US Open plaque. By the way, not sure if you can see on the plaque but the trademark of Pebble Beach is the Lone Cypress. Supposedly, it is one of the most photographed tree in North America!
On the home stretch, you can see the seals lazing out on the rocks. Good thing the wind was not blowing into our direction. They can sure smell:
Bob is taking the "scenic" route again. Definitely getting his money worth on this golf course!
One last look of Hole #18 from the fairway:
When we get done, the bag boys clean our shoes. With the money we pay for to play on this golf course, they should have to clean them every other hole. Ha ha!
A fun day at Pebble!... despite another 81 for me and 86 for Bobby:
Another well-deserved beer. What a spectacular view of the finishing hole and the coast. So many non-golfers/tourists just roaming around the grounds:
After lunch, we look for the infamous Lone Cypress:
There is it! In case you are wondering, I circled it :-)
Yes, we are crazy about it too! Definitely had to do a we-fie after coming all this way :-)
Just reading up on the Cypress: The tree may be as old as 250 years and after being scarred by a fire, it has been held in place with cables for the last 65 years. Wow!
End of Day 2!
