Pebble Beach: beach alongside course - has anyone on the beach ever been hit by a stray ball?

I've always wondered this and that shot on the weekend of Mickelson watching that threesome of whatever the hell exercises they were doing got me wondering again. A big slice would have enough right to make it to the beach, no?

I recall someone picking up a ball on the beach many years ago which landed near them.

It amazes me how many people put themselves in harms way of errant tee shots and the galleries around the green.

I noticed several shots landed near a few of the marshals watching this year.

I've been on that beach a thousand times and have never seen a ball. Undoubtedly they are hit there, but I have never seen one. That said, It's really only the 10th that lines a walkable area and it's so far down from beach entrances that few people walk that far down to setup. So I doubt too many people have ever been hit down there.

I think I remember watching the Pro am a few years ago and Ray Romano was hitting a shot from the beach.
