2013 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am Discussion Thread

Bill Murray's facial hair is the highlight of the ams

[clarkeycats]

Roll on Sunday, watching some of the celebs is a bit tiresome. Some of the shots of the course are a thing of beauty!

[Rick Martin]

I just did something that I rarely ever do: turn off golf on the HDTV.

Matt Google's awkward interviews. The constant stream of CEOs boasting about their companies. The gawdawful Chris Berman swings. Even with the beautiful views of Pebble, it got too much. I may not watch Saturday because of the constant celelb crap. Rather just see good golf on the world's best courses with good commentary, thank you.

Rick, we just got two feet of snow here in Massachusetts.  I am going to watch just to see something green!  I also use the "mute" button on my remote judiciously.

Well, I guess they won't be sharing any stories about hooking up with girls on the road.

Not my favourite tournament. Im not a fan of the celebs. And I probably wouldn't be watching if it wasn't the winter or if it wasn't at Pebble.

Good lord, Chris Berman is one of the worst golfers i have ever seen...

[mvmac]

Nice video of some holes you won't see on TV.  First seven holes at Spyglass

Huh see third shot (chip). Someone picks up his ball, and there is a tee stuck in the ground???

One of the ams picking up his own ball ... tee is a marker.

[Valleygolfer]

Geez I am not looking forward to the day I start running like Andy Garcia....

[Thrash13]

I saw a couple people say they won't watch this event until Sunday, and I'm in that group as well.  I have followed the leaderboard the first three days, and I'll be watching closely tomorrow.  Sneds is on a major roll right now, and it will be interesting to see if he can pull out a win at Pebble.  I'm ready for the WGC-Match Play in a couple weeks, and I'm ready for the Florida Swing!

Don't forget Clint Eastwood's incoherent mumbling...

That's a practice round.  It's his caddy - and they are using the tee's to mark the potential pin locations.  So when the professional (this case DJ) gets up to the green.... The caddy will put down tee's or markers to show the player where the pins are typically placed during the tournament.  Each green typically has 4 places where they like to place the pin.  So in the video - DJ is just chipping some balls to that particular pin location highlighted by his caddy.
