Between various and great courses of the world, Pebble Beach Golf Course has to be the common choice as the most extraordinary. Same as the classic early Scottish links courses; it is an out-and-back layout with the 11th at the far end of the gold course. The first three holes are inland, but the 4th and then the 6th to the 10th run along the face of Carmel Bay. The 11th heads positioned in inland, but the 13th to the 16th move back toward the site. They are set among cypresses, pines, eucalyptus and oaks. Though all the inlands are excellent, they lack the feature of the ones on the cliff tops. The 17th yields to the shore and the 18th curves sideways beside the Pacific.
Jack Neville was an amateur real-estate man who won the California Championship five times and selected as one of the Walker Cup team in 1923. Because of this excellence, one great client came into his way to request for a golf course design for him in 1918. However, Jack Neville once said to Sam Morse that the golf course was there all the time, but the most challenging part is to find a perfect hole. Neville spent weeks walking and wandering in the land until he made a decision to modify the route and the site for golf course. He then called Douglas Gran, an amateur with great skills and advices for the subject of bunkering. Neville, with guidance from Gran, produced a good masterpiece.
Pebble Beach is a course demanding that calls for excellent golfers. However, there are usually safer and effective routes to play if you want to win and compensate for your loss stroke or par. Those heroic shots all come on the pacific holes. You can choose your holes from 4th par, a comparatively gentle introduction and a short par 4 of just 325 yards (297 m), the 6th for easier shots and 10th green along the green cliff.
In 1929, Bobby Jones was the greatest golfer in the history of golf. Though he was an amateur, he had recently won the US Open for the third time. However, his reigning moment was dismissed by Johnny Goodman, an unknown player during the first round of the 1926 US Amateur at Pebble Beach. Goodman was also eliminated from the competition the same day after his fight with Jones, but a few years later he was to open the last amateur (up to date) to win the US Open.
The 8th, 9th, and 10th are the most challenging short sequences of par 4s in the world, but Nicklaus faced these holes with golfing skills and strategies. He won with his pars of the two and held a 4-stroke lead in the final round of the 1972 US Open. Nicklaus also challenged himself to play the 17th par and he succeeded. His 290 was the second highest winning total in the Open over 50 years. Ten years later, Nicklaus was in pursuit of a record-breaking fifth US Open Championship and Watson had a chance of beating him. Unlike other challenger, he found difficulty on sending his 17th tee shot.
