No, but he has a nice foot wedge.Does Golf God replace divots?
I was going to comment the same.The remarkable thing about Pebble is that it isn't even the best course on the Monterey Peninsula. That distinction goes to Cypress Point.

Coolest part of Pebble Beach is this. Go there for work once a year and the first time no one gave me a heads up. It was very cool to see in person.
Jimmy Dolittle lived at Pebble Beach. Every year on his birthday a B-24 would make a flyover of his home.
Neither though Augusta would be at #2. #1 for me is Pine Valley in NJ. A friend's dad got to play there once and he said it was like no other course he has played, exceedingly difficult for an average golfer but then again the visual routing was picturesque on every hole. Each hole is unique and he was amazed that anyone could figure out the routing that this course has which is over 100 years old. Some of the basic principals when it was designed: No hole should be laid out parallel to the next; no more than two consecutive holes should play in the same direction; and players shouldn't be able to see any hole other than the one they were playing. The architect also felt that a round of golf on this course should require a player to use every club in the bag.
Been to Monterey Peninsula enough to know there is a 50/50 chance the experience can be miserable weather wise. That marine layer can make for a cold dreary round and many times its a guess as to where your ball ends up. Don't get me wrong, an incredible course just I like to enjoy when I play around at a notable course and not have to be worried about not being able to see it while playing. Another course that is like this is St. Andrews. The weather is very unpredictable and American have no clue that they are basically playing on concrete when they get to the course.
^ This strikes me as the most interesting. No clowns to the left of me, no jokers on the right. And, here am I.Neither though Augusta would be at #2. #1 for me is Pine Valley in NJ.

The total description makes this course indeed sound incredible.
Check out that bunker on the fourth pic. Yikes!
galf is a sissy sportHere's a question that we were discussing on the course today. If Golf God paid you a visit and gave you the choice of playing Augusta or Pebble Beach, for free, which one would you choose?
