THE AT&T PEBBLE BEACH

ELYSEE IS HAUNTING #18 AT PEBBLE BEACH ( You have to read the book.) 4th of JULY AT BLACKHORSE, FT.ORD. NOTE FLAG IN TOM'S HAT ELYSEE TAKING A LESSON FROM BEN ALEXANDER PRO AT POPPY HILLS LONE CYPRESS PEBBLE BEACH Elysee and I leave tomorrow for Carmel where we are staying during the AT&T Pro-Am at Pebble Beach. We are Marshals at the tournament, yes I know, Marshall Marshals, or is it Marshal Marshalls. Anyway, I thought it fitting before we left to post some golf photos taken for my book about Carmel Our Summer in Carmel, Amazon.com We have stayed three summers in Carmel and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, but never playing Pebble Beach. Number one it is too expensive for my humble game and secondly, Pebble is very difficult to get on. You don't just call up a few days before and ask for a tee time. They are booked a year ahead, mostly for business events. We have played many area courses though, getting special break at Ft. Ord's two very difficult tracks, a BIG break at the Navy course, Monterey Pines, as well as Pacific Grove, Carmel Valley Ranch, Rancho Canada and others. We won't know our assignments until reporting in, but I;ll pass them on in case you want to see us shivering and wet on TV. Here are a few pictures from the book.
