The elephant in room about Pebble Beach: poa annua greens.
The shit is just noxious. It grows at an incredibly high rate, and extremely unevenly. It also seeds very easily.
It makes luck far more important in putting greens than it is on any other surface.
The moderate climate of the Monterrey Bay allows it to thrive. You can find it on a lot of local courses in the spring, but the summer heat kills the rat shit out.
