Monterey IEEE Meeting

I went down to Monterey for the start of the IEEE meeting. It had been a few years since I had been there. It didn’t take me long to remember why it is such a great place. One of my favorite pastimes is golfing. The Pebble Beach area is one of the finest areas for golf in the world. I had the opportunity to play Spyglass Hill while I was there. It’s first few holes are incredible. They hug the coast and the views are spectacular. The greens are smaller and more challenging than I thought. After playing there I had a late lunch at the Lodge at Pebble Beach. There was a corporate tournament that day on pebble. It was a shot gun start which happened to finish when I was done with lunch. I took the opportunity to walk the entire course. I have been to Pebble Beach numerous times, but haven’t played it. As such, I haven’t seen most of the holes except watching on TV. It was a calm sunny afternoon and made the walk very enjoyable. Each hole has history that I played through my mind as I walked the course. That was an unexpected treat.
