The Pebble Beach Pro-Am is played in Pebble Beach, California. Pebble Beach is one of my favorite courses because of the great views. There are views of the beach and the ocean on almost every hole. This is one of the tournaments that every round is played on different courses. This particular tournament was founded 79 years ago. That makes it one of the oldest tournaments. Entertainer Bing Crosby was the original founder back in 1937. The tournament field consists of 156 pros and 156 amateurs. One amateur and one pro on each team. It was a very good weekend for Vaughn Taylor. He ended up winning both the individual and the pro-am tournament. The pros also get to compete in an individual tournament. The scores from the individual pros are paired with an amateurs score and that is how they determine who wins the team part of the tournament. Vaughn Taylor shot seventeen under on the week to beat Phil Mickelson by one shot. Taylor's team shot 30 under total to win that part by one shot as well. Vaughn Taylor is from the nearby town of Roanoke. He is 30 years old. He has three total wins on the PGA Tour. His first two victories came earlier in his career. He won the Reno Tahoe Open in 2004 and 2005. Vaughn has been a pro since 1999. Vaughn also has one Web.com Tour victory. That came in the 2003 Knoxville Open. The next tournament is the Northern Trust Open.

It is cool to have a pro golfer be from a town not far from Broadway. After reading this I want to go to Pebble Beach. I don't like golf that much, but I am sure there is some other thing I could do like driving the golf carts for someone who wants to golf.
