Every golfer's dream. To play the grand courses on the Monterey Peninsula south of San Francisco - the Links at Spanish Bay, Spyglass Hill, and Pebble Beach. We played the first two today and will play Pebble tomorrow - and in the proper way - walking, with a caddie. We had atmospheric weather today. A bit overcast with periods of brightening. At times the mist was heavy, the wind blew, and you could hear the crash of the waves and the barking of the seals on the beach. At other times the skies brightened, the winds calmed, and the only sounds were the petulant squawks of seagulls circling overhead. In some ways it was a regular day of golf - good shots and bad shots. But, on this day, we were overwhelmed by our surroundings. Holes hard by the sea, holes gentling coursing over inland hills and deep crevasses. Look forward, look backward, try not to miss a single breathtaking vista. Burn this scenery and this experience into your memory. Cherish how blessed you are to be here, and how blessed you are to be here with these friends. Just a wonderful day.
