There are a couple of things going on. Some celebrities may only play in the Wednesday Celebrity challenge (its rare to just play that, but it does happen). Its played on 1, 2, 3, 17, and 18,  with a hole in one challenge on 17. Most play in that and the tournament, which is like any other pro-am where the amateurs have to make the cut. There is a 54 hole cut on Saturday that brings it down to 60 pros and 25 amateurs for Sunday. There are also random amateurs (non celebrities) just like any other pro-am.

Cannot make it out today, but will hopefully make it out the next few days if I can get out of the office!

This is going to be my first time seeing the pros live, and the first time seeing Pebble other than from behind the green on 18 watching people play in. I'll get to be there for a practice round tomorrow and also Friday's round. I can't wait!

What a day and what an event. I was able to get to PB at about 7:30 this morning, and walked all 18 at both PB and Spyglass, seeing both for the first time. I don't think my jaw came off of the ground until I was back on a shuttle home. So beautiful. The course conditions look incredible, though we are in for some wet weather this week/weekend in the Monterey Peninsula.

At Spyglass, I caught up to Dustin Johnson playing with the future-dad-in-law. There was NO ONE at Spyglass, as most people had made their way to Pebble for the 3M Celeb Challenge. But with this group, there were 20-30 following, 95% were following with 10 Gretzky jerseys each. DJ was going hole-to-hole with no one even looking at him, and Gretzky was signing autographs at every hole. Wonder if that had anything to do with them only playing 9.....

Another highlight was getting to chat with Mark Wilson and Doug LaBelle as I followed their group (including Aaron Badds) to finish up. Both were so nice and happy to talk--really hope they do well. LaBelle particularly seems like the nicest dude ever.

I'll be back on Friday, and hope to catch Phil and Jason Day at Pebble. I'm throwing in a few favorite photos and videos in the next post!!

Here is the link to the Pro-Am leaderboard

http://www.pgatour.com/tournaments/at-t-pebble-beach-national-pro-am/amateur-leaderboard.html

Gretzky must be playing great (or sandbagging with his future son-in-law).

Hopefully they get all the rounds completed, as it is much more of a logistics issue playing over 3 courses and having to finish a round on one, then making it to the next course for your tee time.

Players play, tough players win!

Cool to see Andrew Loupe at the top of the leaderboard (for now at least). We played against each other growing up in junior tournaments and were both at LSU at the same time. Hopefully he can string 3 more good rounds together and get a solid finish.

      So Does Anyone Know Who This Pat Simmons Is?

      By Haxo Angmark ·

      after some years experimenting around, I've settled on a mixed bag of mostly Pat Simmons vintage Tiger Sharks (the ones with the blue enamal on back of the clubheads): 3 thru 9 iron, + 3 wedges (PW, sand, chipper). Those super heavy clubheads really help me get my swing down and thru the ball. Also I carry an old Taylor 18-degree rescue club, 17-degree and 14 degree ImagineGolf metalwoods, and the famous Pat Simmons "alien" 1-iron. Finally a real brick-on-a-stick, the big-headed Bettinardi Ben Hogan model putter which is excellent for taking the break out of short putts and getting the ball hole high on long ones. Wait....is that 15 clubs? Oh well....

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By Haxo Angmark ·

      this topic brought to mind one my favorite golf-spectator memories. Back when, living in Santa Barbara CA, parked in my yellow cab just behind the 10th tee  (c. 380 yard par 4) at SB Muni golf course while eating lunch. A twosome comes by, and first up is this fat little mexican guy who takes a kinda squirelly practice swing, then addresses the ball and bashes a long, high, perfectly straight drive up to w/in about 5 yards of the green. Other guy is dressed to the 9's, pulls out what looks like a $300 driver....and hits a maybe 150-yard pop fly. Slams clubhead to the ground and yells, "it's fat! It's fat! Everything is fat today!!"  And that's how I learned what a "fat" shot is.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By billchao ·

      It may not be surprising that in the previous 7,064 posts, this particular point has been discussed. To which I will counter: If we're talking about results, why only the majors? Unless you know something that I don't, neither of us are in any position to judge whether Woods or Nicklaus lived their overall life better, not that such a thing is even objectively measurable, nor is it relevant to the discussion.

      As we've had to tell other people, the topic is which is the better GOLFER, not human being.
