The perfect office view

Waking up at 2 a.m. to watch the British Open on the big screen television in my basement in July was fun and making the pilgrimage to Augusta National is always special. My ears are still ringing from standing behind the 18th green as Tiger Woods won his 15th major, but my favorite golf memory of the year was how I spent June 13th. That day, I sat in the tall grass to the left of the tee box on the seventh hole at Pebble Beach Golf Links. I’d had knee surgery two weeks prior, so it took me a little while to get out there from the clubhouse, but watching players hit pitching wedges and gap wedges to that tiny green as the waves pounded the rocks below and seagull rode updrafts in the cloudy skies above was as special as golf gets.
