U.S. Open week is finally here! The National Championship has headed all the way west to the famed Pebble Beach Golf Links on 17-Mile Drive — a jagged outcropping of the Northern Californian coast that's been dubbed "the greatest meeting of land and sea in the world." The original designer, Jack Neville, once said about the course, “It was all there in plain sight. Very little clearing was necessary. The big thing, naturally, was to get as many holes as possible along the bay. It took a little imagination, but not much. Years before it was built, I could see this place as a golf links. Nature had intended it to be nothing else. All we did was cut away a few trees, install a few sprinklers, and sow a little seed.”
