HARD TO BELIEVE OFFICIALS WERE ONCE reluctant to bring a major golf professional championship to Pebble Beach. Too far away from a large population center,they said. Four successful U.S. Open championships at Pebble since 1972 erased that reluctance.

One of the world's best golf tournaments at one of the world's best places for golf (and one of the world's favorite getaway destinations), it makes perfect sense, as you'll read in this issue of Monterey Bay Adventures.

The 2010 U.S. Open in Pebble Beach tees off June 17, and there are already whispers of the national championship returning in 2019 as Pebble Beach celebrates birthday No. 100. It would be only fitting.
