The U.S. Golf Association is offering early sales on 2010 U.S. Open merchandise, including a number of caps trumpeting the tournament at fabled Pebble Beach Golf Links.
The major tournaments for 2009 are behind us, but it’s not too early to think about the great drama that awaits next year. For any golfer or golf fan, a visit to Pebble Beach is on the “must” list. I’ve been to the course a couple of times, stopping in the pro shop and ambling around the grounds on a few brief visits. I also attended the AT&T Pro Am there for the third round of the tournament in 1997, and it was a memorable day.
Pebble’s ocean-side setting is even more dramatic in person than it is on those sweeping panoramas shown on television. If you can arrange a trip for the ’10 Open running from June 14-20, book it. But even if you can’t make the tournament, a trip to Pebble on the spectacular Monterey Peninsula at any time is advised and encouraged.
Hi Dan —
I hope I get to Pebble Beach some day. I just got back from Canada’s Pebble Beach — The Highland Links in Cape Breton Highlands National Park. An old Stanley Thompson layout, it’s consistently ranked among the best public courses on Earth. And it’s tough to play well there with all the vistas, bald eagles and moose to distract you.

All the best,
