    Surprised so many big name guys play in the Pebble Beach Pro-Am.  Seems like a giant pain in the ass to be playing your own ball as well as alternate shot with whatever amateur you get paired up with.  Regardless of that, what a beautiful setting....had a chance to extend my trip a couple days and go hang in that area a few years back when I was in SF and didn't do it.  Really regret that one.
    I wouldn’t regret not playing pebble for the $700 price tag (with caddy). Take that money and go play bandon dunes a little bit north of there and get a damn near equal experience for half the price. 
    Oh no it wasn't to actually play golf there...just to go stay in that area for a couple days.  I'm nowhere near good enough to even consider paying that much for a round of golf!
    Gotcha. I hear it’s a beautiful area. Many people put Pebble Beach on their bucket list for playing golf. It would be great to play on someone else’s dime. I just think there are far better values out there when talking about the premier courses. Brandon Dunes is on my bucket list for sure.

    Bandon Dunes, while it looks incredible and I am sure is legit, is the hipster golf resort at the moment I feel like.

    Better field this year because of the us open 

    True.  But always seems to be a very solid field every year for what pretty much is a gimmick tournament.  Always hear about how much the golfers hate the Wednesday pro-am day before a tournament starts.  But hey, I guess Bill Murray will do something wacky!  I wish he would just go away..
    Yeah, mostly the same guys every year right? I mean, they get to play 3 awesome courses, walk away with a solid purse and DJ gets to golf and hang out with his father in law, Phil gets to drink bananas expensive wine and hang out, Snedeker gets to play with that Vanderbilt guy.  Feel like most of them had a reason for being there outside of just a golf tournament.
    But yeah, tired of the same pro-am stuff.

    Damn I didn’t even know that. I’ve had it on my list since around 2007 or so when I first heard of it. Odds are I won’t get there anyway. I have a hard enough time getting 4 guys to commit to a local Friday afternoon round let alone a trip to Oregon. Lol. I should reset my sights on Kohler, WI

    The all time money leader at pebble is going to implode? Not sure he can catch him but have a tough time seeing him crash.  Have him in my one and done and would love a win early so pulling for him big time

    There are few things in golf I hate more than playing a brutal par 3. There are few things in golf I enjoy more than watching pros get butchered on a brutal par 3.

    I walked with stallings during a late afternoon practice round at Merion when the course was pretty much cleared out. Super cool to hear him and his caddie talk about the course

    But yeah, completely different

    He was slow. But for this tournament the pace wasn’t terrible, all things considered
