  That's two people who have congratulated NY Life, I don't understand this at all.

  They had nothing to do with WGT bringing us PB, all they have done is paid WGT to have their name on the 1st sponsored event held there.

  It makes as much sense as thanking Coca-Cola for Christmas or Budweiser for the super bowl.

  Anyhoo, WGT have done a tremendous job bringing us this fabulous course, well done and thank you!

  I thank Budweiser

  I too would like to thank Budweiser for bringing cold beer to the UK many years ago. Sadly it did not take long to realise that drinking cold soda packed a bigger punch than the beer,

  I thank Coca-Cola for Christmas. R U you kidding. I really do not know what I would do without Coca-Cola on Christmas day, or a nice cold Bud (or nice green, purple and sticky bud) for the Super Bowl.

  Agree about buds, the green ones, the beer, not so much, tastes like weak piss.

  Agree with you DanielKWPerrine.

  WGT has a lock on this type of game and they do a superb job in having it up and running 24/7.  yea-yea, a few hiccups now and then, but overall WGT has a great product here.

  Now if only I could get more of my friends to play.   Guess i'm the only 'true nerd' of the bunch.

  While we're all backslapping, I'd like to thank Pfizer.

  Pebble Beach Front 9 is great and I truly enjoy the views! Sadly, I have seen a few problems in multiplayer, although that happens at many other courses too. It works great as a single player strokeplay event. Can`t wait to play the back 9 next. And the 18th hole is something to look forward to..

  Only, shall we say "bad thing" is the low scoring in tournaments on low winds at Pebble Beach front 9. I cannot understand how players consistently play 27-29 strokes with low winds. And not all of the players of those 27-29 scores are among the best in the legend tier. For instance with a 30, you are place 250-260 something in the legend tier new york life championship at the moment and one stroke better and you are in TOP-125 at least. 30 would be a decent result on other par72`s..

  However the winds make this course tougher and a lot more interesting. On heavy winds Pebble Beach is truly enjoyable to play! :)

  It's the number of short approaches, and both "par 5s" are reachable in 2 that cause the ridiculously low scores at Pebble. IMO, unless they make the greens the extremely fast speeds of 20+, this may even be easier than Cabo
