A Good Walk Spoiled





My father learned to play golf the year I went to the first grade in Phoenix.  He had caddied as a kid and always wanted to play.  So he did.  He watched televised golf, a wonderful excuse for a good long afternoon nap.  I remember seeing the tournaments at Pebble Beach.  It is a spectacular location.  There is also a major classic car show held at Pebble Beach each year.  Given the opportunity to see the area, I did. 

For a mere $10.25 you get a map and permission to drive the 17 mile scenic tour of Pebble Beach.  It is spectacular and worth it.  I will post some pictures from the drive soon.  The drive ends at the clubhouse for the Pebble Beach links course.  Of course there are retail opportunities.  I walked down to the 18th green, took a few pictures including one of the local's daily driver.  

I haven't played golf since high school.  When I moved from Florida in 1995 I sold my clubs.  Now I can take a good walk, and not be bothered by those pesky little balls and hard to make holes. 

Do you play?

  1. I LOVE strolling beautiful courses. I find golf one of the most boring games. So, no, I don't play.

    1. I am worried about AM, I gave her the line pesky balls and she passed on it. I hope she is okay.

  5. I'd rather walk through a cheerful well kept cemetery. At least I'd have reading material.
