One of my favorite golf tournaments; The U.S. Open comes to Pebble Beach next month June 17-20, 2010. The famous golf course has been lengthened to 7040 yards, the graduated rough will be grown taller on the shorter holes and the speed of the tiny greens will be increased for the tournament.

Also, Tiger Woods is scheduled to play and most likely be the favorite to add another major tournament to his list of wins. Tiger won at Pebble Beach by 15 strokes in 2000. Tiger recently signed up for the British Open at St. Andrews, another course which Tiger is very familiar.

Pebble Beach Golf Links is approximately a 3 hour drive from Stockton, California and the 17 mile drive of the Monterey Peninsula is wonderful.
