this week is something special

I was bummed out Sunday night, pretty bummed out Monday, Levin said. ?¡ãBut I got here, after which I had been like, `Man, I get to learn Pebble Beach today, so that's pretty cool. It's nothing like youre going home and playing the muni in your backyard. `Wow, Im at Pebble. So I didn't think it over much playing out here.

Davis Love III is making his 27th start at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

I've not witnessed three courses on this good of shape, Love said. Guys which have played a whole lot this season said these are the best greens they've seen thus far this coming year. You don't usually hear any time you can Pebble, Spyglass.

The fitness of the greens was one thing that drove Woods away. Combined with the occasional bad weather and six-hour rounds it's mostly a great Titleist 712 AP2 Irons deal of standing around for the tees there was clearly a feeling that bumpy greens from 360 pairs of shoes eroded his confidence.

Nonetheless, Woods is known to putt these poa greens superior to most. It's an art to get the right pace about the medium-length putts, all night . the confidence to drill the short putts.

I think I've had my share of success on poa greens, just because the fact I grew up on it, Woods said. To turn out here, popping it, it's like discount golf clubs second nature. My stroke does change. I don't wish it to change, nevertheless it does. It reverts back to the way was once i was obviously a kid and how I putted. It's solved.
