Hands Down Pebble Beachs' Seventh Hole - Golf Worlds' Legend

By Jimmy Doyle


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 who won the California Championship five times and chooses as one of the Walker Cup team in 1923. Because of his great skills, Sam Morse decided to get some ideas from Neville about creating an excellent golf course. However, he commented that golf course was there all the time while perfect holes were not. He spent weeks wandering around the land until he had planned to change the route and the sites for golfing course. In order to produce a better outcome, he then called Douglas Gran for consultations on the subject of bunkering. Together with Gran, Neville has produced more than a great masterpiece of golfing lore . The whole mystique lends itself as among others , as one of the sport of golfs' greatest legends.

For very good and interested golfer, Pebble Beach is one of the recommended sites for heroic shots. However, golfers with difficulty can take the safer routes to win the fight. Actually, those heroic shots all come on the pacific holes that challenge every golfer. Truly, you can select your hole from the 4th par, a comparatively gentle introduction, a short par 4 of just 325 yards (297 m), the 6th with little difficulties, and 10th, which is approaching towards the cliff line.

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 considered as the toughest sequence of par 4s in the world, but Nicklaus faced these things with confidence. He won the, final round of the 1972 US Open with his par of two. Also, Nicklaus played to the 17th and got the most challenging award from the championship. His 290 is the second highest winning total in the Open during the past 50 years. After several years, Nicklaus was in pursuit of a record-breaking fifth US Open Championship and only Watson had a chance of beating him. Unfortunately, he found difficulty in 17th tee shot.
