Pro-Am

1st hole at MPCC...our view from the breakfast window!

Went to the AT&T Pro-Am yesterday and it was incredible!  Megan had a hook-up with one of her patients who is a manager at the Monterey Peninsula Country Club.  We got to eat a complimentary breakfast overlooking the first hole of their course (picture above).  I had a delectable serving of blueberry pancakes, sausage, eggs, toast, hash browns, OJ, coffee and a virgin bloody Mary!

We took a shuttle over to Pebble Beach once we were done feasting and it was packed with everyone trying to find Tiger.  We got really lucky as we headed straight for the 3rd green and got to see Tiger and Tony Romo on their second shots.  "Is that Tiger?" "No that's Tiger!" "Was that his shot?"  Nobody could see far enough up the fairway but then we all looked more to the right and everyone in unison said "Ooooh THAT'S Tiger," as he hit a beautiful shot up onto the green.  He was in all black and of course sporting Nike and at that point had come from something like 16 back to sneak into 2nd place.  

Tiger showed absolutely no emotion outside of what looked like anger and frustration...or maybe just pure determination, but either way he wasn't smiling.  Romo on the other hand was having fun and even when a fan yelled out "Go Niners!" as he was putting he managed to laugh about it.  They then walked right by us as they went to the next hole where we watched Tiger tee off and then we went to find other, more appreciative players.

I'll put a list up at the end of this of the celebs we saw but the highlights were getting a fist bump from Phil Mickelson and an autograph from Clyde Drexler!!!  Getting to see Belichick play golf was also pretty cool and he was in a Pebble Beach hoody per the usual attire.  It was a marvelous experience and I cannot thank Megan enough for hooking us up with these tickets.  We were also fortunate enough to have a ticket to a business tent where we had lunch and some warm drinks!  The weather wasn't exactly the greatest with the wind blowing pretty hard, the mist coming from all directions, and the clouds covering up that big ball of gas in the sky!
