Exacting tee shot. If considerable length is desired it almost callsfor a fade to pass point of dog's leg on right and avoid out of bounds andtrap on left. A long tee shot properly placed leaves a good mashie shotor more to a closely guarded green. Trapping is severe and ~reen hardto hit. Hole plays considerably longer than its yardage, due to a gradualrise from tee to green.

Hole

Two powerful shots properly placed must be made for a player toget his theoretical four. Diagonal traps for the carry are apt to catchone's tee shot unless it has a long and high carry. The second shot mustalso be of the same type and unusually straight if the green is to be gained.Traps and trees on the left, with an abundance of natural hazards pro-vide vlenty of trouble.

Hole

A great natural carry of 235 yards over series of diagonal sandy bar-rancas. The more to the right one plays, the more difficult becomes thesecond shot, as the trapping to right of green is dangerous. A perfectlyplayed tee shot here leaves a comparatively easy second shot to the green.

Here the player becomes acquainted with the Pacific Ocean. A 200yard carryover barrancas, with an alternate route to the left. Secondshot is only a short pitch but to a proportionately small green. Here itis easy to push a tee shot over cliffs to the beach on the right, or if aplayer hooks to bad lands on left his second shot becomes a most danger-ous one.

Calls for 250 yard firstand second shots. Unless there is a windagainst one, one can just reach the green in two. Here the ocean comesinto play as a hazard in an imposing way as trouble on fairway to leftforces the line of play close to the high cliffs. The second shot is oyeran ocean bay and must have a high trajectory to clear the hill. A stiffpar 5.

Usually a mashie niblick shot, but a hole that seldomplays alike. The green is on the extreme point of the course.Allowance for wind must be made ordinarily to hit the smallgreen. Sand dunes and ocean closely surround this hole.

The famous eighth has numerous natural hazards to overcome. Ordinarily two long shots areneeded to reach the green. Rather an abrupt hill necessitates the player raising his tee shot togain proper position at top. From the shortest point of the dog leg 130 yards of ocean must becarried to reach the well-trapped green. The banks are precipitous, 75 feet to the water, creatingone of t.he most. imposing mental hazards to be found anywhere. The slope of the ground near thegreen towards the ocean is apt to influence the player towards the dangerous edge of the cliffs.This second shot can be anything from a full brassie to a full mashie, depending on weather condi-tions. Here, as on six other holes, the sandy beaches that border the ocean give spectacular op-portunities for great recovery shots.

A very long tee shot is necessary to get within reach and clear vision of the green. A tee shotto right part of fairway that does not reach the beach leaves the player a long and precarious sec-ond shot over cliffs and bays to carry the green. Out 3192 yards, par 36.

The tenth continues along the ocean brink and is trapped with par-ticular severity. The tee shot trap, which is seldom carried, forces playto edge of cliff and the small trap in the face of the green requiresplenty of stop on a second shot with a four or stronger iron.

The homeward journey begins here. This hole really plays over400 yards as there is a continual rise from tee to green. The land slopestowards out-of-bounds fence on right and a three iron or more is neededto reach the exceedingly well trapped green.

Inspiring one-shotter, usually calling for spoon or two iron. Out-of-bouRds on right is apt to force player to easily miss green on theleft. Player must have a goodly amount of stop on this shot as thetrapping is close to edge of green. Usually breezes from here on in.

A double dog's leg with the slope of theground always influencing one's shots to theleft. 'Voods and out-of-bound stakes closelyborder the right. 'Vhile this hole has beenreached in two with a following wind, it isjust as apt to call for three full woods. Al-most any player would be satisfied to reachthe green with a four iron for his third shot.A real 3-shot test for anyone. Pebble Beachhas an uncommon number of 3-shot holes buteach is so varied that there is no monotonyfor the player.

Hole

One of the finest golf holes calling for a pulled tee shot. Out-of.bounds on right; forest on left. A deep ravine of moderate carry crossesthe fairway and is apt to penalize a low tee shot. The 2nd shot is mostexacting- and usually calls for a midiron down to a mashie. Trappingaround green, while not deep, is close.

A great natural golf hole with a diagonal carry of sandy badlands.The player is forced to place his tee shot as near as possible to end ofbarranca on right which is the ideal location. A series of oak trees tothe left combine to make the second shot more difficult; usually a 4 ironor more. This hole calls for distinct placing of shots and the naturaltrouble is serious.

It takes a brave golfer to play this one-shotter properly.The lay of the land tends to influence tee shot towards oceanon left. Sand dunes surround this double green at the brinkof Stillwater Cove. A direct carry takes a full brassie andsometimes a driver. Some prefer to place this shot to rightportion of green leaving a long undulating putt.

This most exacting 3-shotter is commonly conceded to furnish agrand finish-one of the strongest in the world. The cliffs call for adiagonal carry from the tee which has been builded out on the rocksin the Pacific itself. Trees and large traps at the right force the playerfairly close to the ocean's edge. The long second shot ends up in rathera narrow neck between out-of-bounds and ocean. The third is usually amashie or more and must be accurate as the green is closely trapped .. Aswith the preceeding shots, there is no let-up in the tension until the playerhas his ball sHfely on the green.

In 3469 yards. par 36. Total 6661 yards, par 72.
