US Open Golf Tournament, Pebble Beach, CA  June 13 – 16 2019

The Monterey Peninsula is a “Golf Mecca”.  We have golf course after golf course – with a perfect golf course to suit every player’s need.  And we attract PGA tours – after all who wouldn’t want to come to Pebble Beach which looks glorious to the TV viewer from every camera angle.   Every February we enjoy the AT&T Pro Am Golf Tournament, however, this year is a double whammy ~  the US Open Golf Tournament has come to Pebble Beach for the third time in 19 years.

This year something special is causing excitement and anticipation and there is only one word for it – Tiger.  Yes he’s back and after winning the Masters this year, his fans are hoping he can win here again this weekend.  Tiger has struggled with personal issues and serious injuries over the years and some critics thought he was done. But ever since his Augusta win, #Tigersback is a popular refrain.

As realtors we started planning for the US Open  months ago by creating innovative advertising for the print and digital media that would beguile and bewitch prospective buyers and invite them to purchase property while visiting the area.  During the tournament while the golf crowd heads for the courses, we’ll be manning our posts at the “Floor duty” desk or hosting numerous Open Houses at our listings hoping some of our visitors will stray from the event.  We hope to lure some of our golf enthusiasts to find the coveted prize – a home on the Monterey Peninsula.

We know that tournament goers will spend most of their time watching the play or playing golf themselves – and then, of course, time spent at the infamous 19^th Hole.  In fact, keeping this in mind,  many companies are having parties and events including my real estate office, Carmel Realty Company, to entertain clients who have already purchased homes or who are considering it.  We hope that everyone will have such a good time here and at least pick up the newspapers and magazines touting our gorgeous homes and return at a  later time.

There is nothing more beautiful than Pebble Beach on a clear sunny day and that’s what we are blessed with this week except for a little morning fog.  If nothing else our visitors will take home delightful memories of blue skies, sunlit courses and crashing waves, after bearing witness to some great golf.  Will Tiger win?  That is yet to be determined. Play on!
