Company Competition Day-1.
Poppy hills at Pebble beach. Here is one of the signature course for PGA tour tournament. Of course, everybody agree the quality of all of facilities, excellent condition, super maintained fairway and green. Course layout is not so challenging, I feel it’s orthodox links style course. The up down slope and dogleg are natural, the natural landform are utilized effectively. However, the sea breeze is strong, I struggled which club I use at every holes because the driving distance is changed, push follow or push back by the strength and direction of wind.
45 47 92 OK, I’m satisfied. But I played the white tee start today, I will challenge from blue tee next time.
