Enjoying a day of golf as a non-golfer
I was fortunate to get an invite to the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, and figured it might be a fun day. I've been to Monterey / Carmel many times, including on the bike around that nearby track. But I've never veered off 17-mile drive to the actual Pebble Beach course. I spent all Saturday there, and it was fantastic! Beautiful weather, not terribly crowded, and fun to see a good bunch of golfers I had sort of heard of, along with some of the amateurs that frequently show up to this tournament. We followed Bill Murray around for a few holes, and I'm not giving away any secrets by sharing that he's hilarious. He was making fun of fans not getting out of the way of his shot soon enough, in quite inventive ways. On 18 he shot a ball directly at the crowd as a souvenir, but hit it a bit high so it cleared the structure (and hopefully didn't clock anyone on the other side). One of the folks I was with was a fantastic guide, not only helping the rest of us out with info on the sport and players in general, but also sharing some first-hand knowledge from having played this same course quite a few times.

I bet it was fun. I was at the Kemper Open about 30 years ago, and as a very amateur golfer, I was dumbfounded at how good the worst pros were.
