2017 THE PROS

By MICHAEL JAMES

AFTER 30 years as theAT&T Pebble BeachNational Pro-Am, the word

“National” was removed from the titlea few months before last year’s tourna-ment. It was a sign of the times for thetournament and the PGA Tour.

The one-word deletion, prompted byincreasing number of prominent inter-national players on the PGA Tour,gave the event that was started inSouthern California eight decades agoby Bing Crosby its fifth official title.

The new name was introduced inconjunction with a more modern tour-nament logo, a six-color image withwhite letters, a white pin and flag anda black cypress tree.

This year’s 77th edition will contin-ue the trend. Many international play-ers live in the United States, but theirhome countries play a prominent rolein global competitions like thePresidents Cup, Ryder Cup, and forthe first time last year, the SummerOlympics.

“We know that Bing Crosby wouldbe proud to see that the tournament hestarted is now a worldwide event,” saidtournament director Steve John, theCEO of the Monterey PeninsulaFoundation.

Australian Bruce Crampton (1965),Brett Ogle (1997) and Fojooam VijaySingh (2004) are the only foreign-bornplayers to win the AT&T, and Singh

2017 THE VOLUNTEERS

By LISA CRAWFORD WATSON

PATRICK QUINN started playing golfwhen he was 7 years old. Introduced to thegame by his grandparents and his father, he

came to understand it as a game where everyonecould have different skill levels and still enjoy play-ing. He also learned golf is a game “for a lifetime.”

Now all grown up, Quinn, who lives in San Joseand works for Blach Construction, continues to playgolf with great gusto. In his ninth year on the boardof the NorCal Golf Association, Quinn has been

Course.” This nonprofit organization, based inPebble Beach, enables kids across the country to geton a golf course and play for $5. Its core purpose isto give youth access to “lifelong opportunitiesthrough golf.”

Established in 2006 as the NCGA Foundation,Youth on Course recognizes that golf teaches impor-tant social, mental, and physical skills. The organiza-tion began as a way to increase the accessibility andaffordability of golf for Northern California youth.Within five years, the program had grown to includecaddie programs, paid high school internships andcollege scholarships.

A ‘lofty’ goalAs the program expanded, it was renamed Youth

on Course and broadened to a national reach. Nowserving 12 regions, the program has subsidized morethan 400,000 rounds of golf, hired more than 75interns and 237 caddies, and has awarded more than$250,000 in scholarships, annually.

“I started with a seemingly lofty goal of raising$100,000, by creating a day-long event on Saturdayof the tournament, where participants can followalong the course and watch me play,” Quinn said.

More than 150 people have signed up, at $250apiece, to get on course. Some have contributed a lotmore, with sponsors coming in at $5,000 - $50,000.Called “Quinn’s Brigade,” the group has raised morethan $230,000 to date, on behalf of Youth on Course.

In exchange for their contribution, participantsbegin their day with breakfast at Porter’s in theForest restaurant at Poppy Hills Golf Course. Fromthere, wearing golf vests bearing the Quinn’s Brigadelogo, they take a private shuttle to the Pebble Beachgolf links. They can escort Quinn along the course,

Amateur golfer leads the way in community spirit named president of the foundation for 2017, earninghim the opportunity to play in this year’s AT&TPebble Beach Pro-Am golf tournament.

“Getting a spot in the AT&T is amazing,” saidQuinn. “I’ve been coming to the tournament since itwas The Crosby. I’ve caddied in it, and I’ve workedit through the NCGA, so getting to play in it ties abow on my involvement over the years. It’s anhonor.”

In anticipating his participation in the tourna-ment, Quinn thought it would be great to “monetizehis opportunity” in some way on behalf of “Youth on

How close is The Park Lane?You can almost reach it in two. Okay, that’s a bit of an exaggeration. But The Park Lane Retirement Community is still

tantalizingly close to Pebble Beach. It’s a dogleg southeast in Monterey—22,880 yards away via

17 Mile Drive. That’s just 13 miles.

It truly is a great location to live for golfers and non-golfers alike. In fact, most folks can’t help

but feel a bit inspired when surrounded by the beauty of the Monterey Peninsula. And The Park Lane

itself? With its spectacular views of Monterey Bay and resort lifestyle you can be sure you’ll feel right

at home. And assisted living and memory care services are always available if needed.

We invite you to take a tour of The Park Lane for yourself at a complimentary lunch and tour.

(It’ll be a great walk unspoiled.) Please call 831.204.1884 to schedule.

They are happy, healthy and active. Indeed, untiltwo years ago, both were volunteer drivers for theAT&T Pro-Am and other big tournaments. Lylestill drives every November for the TaylorMadePebble Beach Invitational — formerly theCallaway.

“Volunteering has been a wonderful experiencefor both of us,” he said. “We got so many benefitsfrom it, met so many nice people.”

Invitation from a legendAmong the kindest, they agree, was the late

PGA Tour great Jack Nicklaus, whom Lylechauffeured one afternoon from Pebble’s 18th holeto his accommodations at Spanish Bay.

“He looked at my nametag and said, ‘LyleQuock … that’s an unusual name.’ I explained thatI am Chinese, from a small village in Canton,China,” Quock remembered. “We had a very niceconversation.”

When the driver dropped the legend at his frontdoor, Nicklaus asked if there was anything hecould do for Quock and his wife. Quock askedabout playing a round of golf at a discount price atNicklaus’ local country club, Pasadera (now TheNicklaus Club), which had opened only weeksearlier.

The next day, Meja was asked to driveNicklaus’ wife, Barbara, somewhere, Quockrecalled. “And when she came home she said, ‘Did

The Quocks also befriended PGA Tour Pro ChrisSmith and his parents, and vacationed with theSmith family at their home in Peru, Ind. FredCouples, one of Meja’s frequent passengers, becameanother close acquaintance.

The life they live in America is nothing they couldhave imagined in their earlier years. Lyle Quock wasborn Leu Dick Lai in Fa Yun, a hillside village inCanton that had been ravaged by China’s devastat-ing war with Japan, which raged from 1937-1945.

New life, new nameQuock’s relative — a distant cousin who had fled

to America — returned to visit his former village,where he found friends and relatives destitute in theaftermath of the war.

“When he saw that we were starving, he began tocry,” remembered Quock, who was 9 at the time.The cousin convinced Quock’s mother to let him tryto smuggle her youngest son to America for a betterlife. “I was the chosen one,” he said.

For reasons that have been lost to history, the rel-ative changed the child’s name to Lyle G. Quock andnudged him onto a ship amid the confusion of hun-dreds of other refugees who were boarding at thesame time.

The boy traveled alone on a voyage that took 23days to cross the ocean to San Francisco. Lylerecalls being fed a daily diet of eggs and spaghetti onthe voyage, and says he won’t eat spaghetti to thisday.

He landed in San Francisco on Jan. 17, 1947 —

‘IT’S WHAT they call ‘extreme homemakeovers’ now. We’ve been doing it for 20years.” laughed Isaac Sharp, president of

the board of nonprofit Rebuilding Together:Monterey/Salinas, which helps poor and disabledpeople who are living in substandard conditions.

The group, which is led and staffed completely byvolunteers, started out as a chapter of an organiza-tion called Christmas in April, in the early 1990s.

organization you’ve never heard of.”Nationally, the group is sponsored by HGTV and

DIY Network, as well as Lowe’s hardware and theNFL, among others. It provided assistance to sur-vivors of Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy.

Sharp said that locally, they’ve received donationsof materials and supplies from Home Depot, M&SBuilding Supply, Rental Depot and ShermanWilliams Paint, as well as tools from contractors whowere ready to retire.

In addition to hundreds of private contributors,the group has helped cities — including Seaside andSalinas — administer taxpayer monies from the fed-eral Department of Housing and UrbanDevelopment. Sharp said that the paperwork andaudit requirements to use the funds can be over-whelming to city staffs, and his organization can pro-vide no-cost assistance to make everything run moresmoothly.

Help when it’s really neededRebuilding Together takes applications in the late

fall and early winter from people who want help fix-ing everything from leaky roofs to broken windows,bad foundations and plumbing in kitchens and bath-rooms. It also receives referrals from code enforce-ment and social services employees.

Priority is given to the poor, elderly and disabled,and Sharp said a fair number of veterans havereceived assistance.

The two largest groups who receive aid most oftenare families — often with single parents — who havea disabled child, and elderly widows and widowers.“Some of them live in horrifying conditions,” Sharpsaid.

Flying under the radar, fixing up homes and helping citiesOne day, every April, they set out to fix up the homesof people who couldn’t afford contractors, electri-cians and other professionals, and weren’t able to doit themselves.

The organization eventually morphed with its par-ent national group into Rebuilding Together, andsince 1995 has rehabilitated 295 homes and 27 non-profit facilities in the Monterey-Salinas area.

It’s one of the many beneficiaries of the AT&TPro-Am and Monterey Peninsula Foundation’slargesse, and according to Sharp, may be “the biggest

And even for locals, this canbe a good time to play tourist in their own backyard,perhaps visiting places they haven’t been in years,while the big crowds congregate on the golf courses.

One of the great things about the Peninsula is thatpeople care about preserving its past. In fact, thereare many places where you can almost feel as ifyou’ve stepped back in time. Two historic lighthousesare cases in point.

For example, nature buffs can admire the timelessbut ever-changing views of the ocean after a walk tothe top of the road at Point Sur Lighthouse, wherethe romance — and realities — of the early days ofnavigating those seas are on exhibit

a 9-year-old, by himself — and recalledbeing relentlessly grilled by immigra-tion officials.

“They kept saying, ‘Tell me yourtrue name! We know you are lying!’But I stuck with Lyle G. Quock, sothey said, ‘Well, then, we’re going tolock you up!’” he said. “That didn’tmatter to me. I saw it as a place to stay,with something good to eat.”

A month into his incarceration, awoman at the facility jumped to herdeath from an upstairs window. AChinese newspaper in San Franciscocovered the story and took photos, oneof which showed young “Lyle G.Quock.” Relatives in Monterey, whohad been asked to watch for the boy,recognized his name.

“So my cousin, Sam Quock, whowas from the same village in Canton,found me and told me he’d try to raisethe bond money to get me out,” Quocksaid. “Four or five months later I wasliving with them at 1221 Elm Street inSeaside.”

The boy attended schools on theMonterey Peninsula, delivered news-papers, started his own shoeshine busi-ness at Fort Ord, then, at 14, was invit-ed to apprentice with Cousin Sam, awell-known butcher with a shop at 278Alvarado Street in Monterey. Heworked at the shop for three summers,then was sent to learn more aboutmeat-cutting from other relatives —also former Canton villagers — who

had shops in Stockton, Tracy, andBrentwood.

“I learned from the best,” he said.“When I was finished, Sam broughtme back to Monterey and made me ajunior partner in his business at 18.”

In 1960, at 21, Quock was drafted.He served in the U.S. Navy until 1962,then opened his own butcher shop inSeaside — the first of several. Over theyears, he operated Bay Market, Park-In Market, Ranch Market, CumberDrive-In, and Carmel Drive-In atEighth and Dolores, which he ownedfor nine years.

In 1966 he was introduced to MejaWilson, a 33-year-old divorced motherof two young daughters — Roberta, 7at the time, and Denise, 9 — who hadimmigrated from Seoul, South Korea.

“I liked Meja, but her daughters gotto me first,” Lyle said with a laugh.“Those two little girls were sweet-hearts, and I fell in love with them.”

Lyle and Meja were married lessthan a year later and adopted a thirdchild, Daniel, who graduated fromStevenson School, then earned a mas-ter’s degree from Cal Poly, and becamean internet technology specialist forLockheed Martin.

Lyle spent 50 years as a butcher —the last 18 as a civil-service employeeof the commissary at Fort Ord, dutythat gave the Quocks some of the ben-efits that normally come with 20 yearsof military service. They included golfprivileges at Bayonet and Black Horsein Seaside. Lyle, who once scored ahole-in-one on No. 2 at Black Horse,still plays. Meja, whose best round wasa 96, quit a couple of years ago after

suffering a stroke.Lyle credits Meja with designing

and supervising the construction oftheir home in Pebble Beach, wherethey have enjoyed a spectacular viewof Monterey Bay since December1987. “She was the general contactor.She knew exactly what she wanted,and she oversaw every step,” he boast-ed. “My wife is an amazing woman.”

What a difference a year makes — from near starvation in Canton, China, toa day at Carmel Beach — Lyle Quock (front), age 10, posed with his cousinSam Quock, Sam’s wife June, and their son, Johnny, at Carmel Beach in the1940s.

When he considers his beginningsand his journey of almost eightdecades, he shakes his head in aston-ishment. “We have had a wonderfullife,” Quock said. “We have been veryblessed, very fortunate … so verylucky.”

2017 THE TOURNAMENT

or they can watch the tournament from the CharityDeck located on the 10th green, where Quinn antic-ipates plenty of celebration.

At the end of the day, Quinn’s Brigade returns, byshuttle, to Porter’s in the Forest to share a specialdinner.

“I give Pat a lot of credit for what he’s doing withhis opportunity to play in the AT&T” said AdamHeieck, executive director of Youth on Course. “Ifhe’d told me, two months ago, that he would raise somuch, I wouldn’t have believed it. This is a testamentto who Pat is and his message of what’s possible.This is what Youth on Course is all about; teaching

kids what’s possible.”Quinn has really looked forward to playing in the

AT&T Pro-Am, on one of his favorite golf courses inthe world. He says he’s not nervous but rather excit-ed to play golf, to support his pro golfer, and to spendthe day with Quinn’s Brigade, all while raising fundsfor Youth on Course.

“When Pat brought me his idea for Quinn’sBrigade, I thought it was a remarkable idea, a no-brainer,” said Steve John, tournament director andpresident of Monterey Peninsula Foundation.“Creating life-changing opportunities through golf isright in our wheelhouse. I’m eager to see Pat out onthe course and to see his brigade. The money he’sraised is an example of his quality and his following.He’s a committed guy and a great golfer. We need todo more of this.”

If federal funds are in play, there are restrictionson who can get them, and when money from othersources goes to help residents, Sharp said “We vetthem very carefully.” He doesn’t want to fix uphomes so adult children can put their aging parentsin nursing homes and then resell the houses.

The group calculated that it’s had more than 4,000volunteers donate their time, including more than 20service members each year from the DefenseLanguage Institute. Sharp said that anywhere from10 to 90 volunteers swoop in and descend on each ofas many as 25 homes for one weekend each year tofix them up. He noted that they moved the date toMay to avoid conflicts with the Big Sur Marathon.

The rest of the year, Rebuilding Together helpshomeowners with emergency repairs and partici-pates in national Make a Difference Day in October.

2017 MONTEREY PENINSULA GOLF

By MARY SCHLEY

GOLFERS THE world over know ofPebble Beach and its fabled golf course,and many scrimp, save and plan in order to

make the trip to play some of the most famous holesin the game.

But they might not realize just how many coursesthis area is home to, or the range of terrain, price,challenge and scenery they offer. Some half-dozenlocal venues are regularly named among GolfDigest’s Top 100 in America, and truly, a courseexists for every level of skill and budget. Over theyears, some of the most masterful architects havecreated and refined courses to capitalize on the beau-ty and topography of Pebble Beach, Monterey,Pacific Grove and Carmel Valley. While the PebbleBeach Golf Links, Spyglass Hill and MontereyPeninsula Country Club are off-limits to public playas they host the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Feb.6-12, a bevy of other options remain available toenthusiasts dreaming of getting out on the grass toswing a few clubs instead of spending the whole weekwatching the stars have all the fun.

Bayonet and Black Horse, Seaside —Constructed when Fort Ord was an active militarybase that was home to thousands of soldiers and offi-cers, these two courses first set out to provide somewell deserved recreation for the many servicemenwho lived and worked here. Decades later, they areopen to all, and in 2008, they underwent a $13 mil-lion renovation and comprehensive redesign by GeneBates. Their story is colorful. Gen. Robert McClure,original designer of Bayonet in 1954, was known forhis slice, and drew the holes accordingly, with severedoglegs running to the left. The 7,104-yard par-72course was named for the 7th Infantry Light FighterDivision, nicknamed the Bayonet Division, and was

from 1919 to 1940. Following the revamp, the course“features sweeping vistas of the Pacific and is high-lighted by fescue-framed fairways, bunkers with dis-tinctive, serrated edges and slickly-contouredgreens.” Its coast-facing par-3 15th is among themore scenic holes on the Peninsula. The courseshave hosted the PGA’s Qualifying School and the

Making the rounds on all these courses would take awhileregarded as particularly challenging due to the threeholes known as Combat Corner on its back nine.With its “narrow playing corridors and steep, penalbunkering,” the course “has long been considered themost difficult test of golf on the Monterey Peninsula.”In 1963, Gen. Edwin Carns designed Black Horse,which is 7,024 yards and also has a par of 72, and itbears the nickname of the 11th Calvary Regiment,which had been stationed at the Presidio of Monterey

On the Monterey Peninsula, playing golf doesn’t just mean trying to beat your handicap. On most localcourses, it also means enjoying some of the finest scenery in the world. Pictured here is Cypress Point.

Cypress Point Club, Pebble Beach— “I do not expect anyone will everhave the opportunity of constructinganother course like Cypress Point, as Ido not suppose anywhere in the worldis there such a glorious combination ofrocky coast, sand dunes pine woodsand cypress trees,” renowned coursearchitect Alister MacKenzie said of thecourse he designed in 1928. The 6,509-yard, par-72 Cypress Point course isknown the world over, in part for thebreathtaking par-3 16th Hole thatentices the brave (and sometimes fool-hardy) to fire their tee-shots over thefrothing sea. Golfer Marion Hollinsfirst conceived of the idea in 1924 andpursued the development of a first-class golf course, along with a club-house containing a handful of sleepingrooms. Membership would be limitedto 200 people who would pay about$2,500 (in 1924 dollars) to subscribe.The club, which in the past hosted theWalker Cup — and is set to do so againin 2025 — is open only to its 250 mem-bers and their guests. Cypress PointClub is located at 3150 17 Mile Drivein Pebble Beach. For information,contact the pro shop at (831) 624-2223.

Del Monte Golf Course —Nicknamed “Old Del Monte,” andaffectionately referred to as “Old D”by locals, the Del Monte Golf Coursewas designed by golf and polo enthusi-ast Charles Maud as a nine-holecourse and built in 1897, making it theoldest continuously operated coursewest of the Mississippi River. (Thecourse at the Presidio in SanFrancisco was built a year earlier butwas temporarily converted to a drillfield during the Spanish-AmericanWar.) It was expanded to 18 holes in

1902. Owned and operated by thePebble Beach Company, Del Monte —6,365 yards from the blue tees, par 72— is open to the public and is home tothe Monterey Bay Golf Club, foundedin 1932.

The Links at Spanish Bay, PebbleBeach — “Spanish Bay recalls theoriginal Scottish concept of the gamegolf established over 500 years ago ...Here, the golf course provides youwith the choice of using your regularshot or a low, running shot to play thefirm turf while keeping the ball underthe steady ocean breezes,” accordingto P.B. Resorts. Open for public play,the 6,821-yard par-72 Spanish Baylinks were jointly designed by RobertTrent Jones, Jr., former USGA presi-dent Sandy Tatum and Tom Watson,who once remarked, “Spanish Bay isso much like Scotland, you can almosthear the bagpipes.” Links-style cours-es reflect the old Scottish style of sandyseaside wasteland with bristly grassesand stiff prevailing winds, and theMonterey coastline is reminiscent ofthe rugged beauty of that country,golf’s spiritual home. “The Links atSpanish Bay is very much a sensoryoverload, with the smell of the beachcarried in by a cooling ocean breeze,the sight of the spectacular jaggedcoastline, and the sound of the famedbagpiper leading you home at the endof a twilight round,” the resort says.“The Links at Spanish Bay requiresprecision and patience while negotiat-ing sand dunes, pot bunkers, challeng-ing greens and an ocean breeze.” Afterthe day comes to an end, head insidefor some food and libation at Roy’s,Pèppoli or Sticks, grab a cocktail atTraps, or taste wine at the impressiveStave wine bar, which opened in 2015.The rate is $2,780 (which includes cartfor resort guests), and $160 for twilightplay.
