Picture on Pebble Beach 18th Tee

This is the view from the 18th tee box looking back at the Pebble Beach Lodge. The 18th hole runs along the beach the entire way from tee to green. This is a monster par 5 that we played into a 25MPH wind, which only made the hole even longer.

Double click the picture to enlarge it. Then look over Mark Manley's left shoulder. See the trees in the middle of the fairway? The day before, Don and I sat on the balcony of The Pebble Beach Lodge drinking champagne. We were convinced that we could reach these trees off the tee. As it turns out, into the wind, my second shot was just even with these trees.

But what a day. As you can tell, the skies were perfectly clear, and the temperature was in the mid 60's.
