Vintage photographs of Pebble Beach

ebble Beach—the very mention exudes thoughts of golf at its finest. The storied seaside links course is a celebrated sanctuary. It is a sporting holy ground of countless legends, the birthplace of lasting traditions and fabled championships, and the crime scene of numerous laughable celebrity antics. From the infamous snowy ‘Crosby Weather’ of late January to the mystic summer fogs that have befuddled even the most seasoned tour professionals, the sheer challenge and atavistic beauty of Pebble Beach has been the gold standard in American golf. Jack Nicklaus once remarked that if he had only one course to play for the rest of his life, he would choose Pebble Beach. No wonder it has been called America’s Course. Pebble Beach is the perfect marriage of elements with an unparalleled natural beauty. As the fog creeps through the Del Monte Forest, waves crash along the rocky shoreline, wind blows over the dunes and the mountains loom, the course takes on feeling perhaps more powerful than any other golf course. It is easy to say Pebble Beach is a pure and simple harmony between land and sea. However, Pebble Beach is more than that. It is about history, and much of Pebble Beach’s rich history lay buried in lost files, dusty archives and faded memories. That is, until now.
