What the Pros Think About Pebble Beach: 'It's a Golfer's Heaven'
Players usually pass on pleasantries and platitudes the week of a Major. It’s all game faces and Go Time talk.
So it was especially surprising (and refreshing) and when the likes of Tiger Woods and Brooks Koepka shared how special it was to them that they were playing this year’s U.S. Open at Pebble Beach.
On the fence about booking your buddy trip to Pebble Beach? Need to convince someone special?
Let these 10 pros do the talking:
It's just different than any other venue you ever play.
“I was out there, probably looked like a tourist taking all the pictures on my phone and forgot I was playing a practice round. But, yeah, that’s what this place does to you.
