PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. - Golfers were sent scrambling for safety as massive waves overtook an ocean-front golf course during one of a series of atmospheric rivers to slam into California in recent weeks. The group was completing the 14th hole at the Monterey Peninsula Country Club in Pebble Beach when a video recorded by Peter Butler shows the group was sent running for higher ground. Butler began filming the unruly ocean crashing onto the normally serene golf course to document the wild weather. He can be heard describing the "45-foot waves" and soon realizing they needed to move fast. "It's going to hit us, dude," someone in the video says, and then the video begins shaking as Butler runs away from the incoming waves. "Go, go, run!" ------------------------- Specializing in sarcasm and condescending rhetoric since 1971. |

I spend more time watching the surf than I do the tournament most times and there is usually plenty of swell. Ghost Trees is a big wave spot. It must have been huge to make it onto the course.

I've surfed off that course a number of times. My brother lives just up the road and has a gate pass out there. Ugly, rocky, and freezing cold, occasional fun surf.
Ghost tree is a truly nasty break, ledgy, wedgy, shifty.......and real shallow. Couple of deaths due to whitey's as well. Never saw it actually roll up into the golf course though. no thanks, I'll drive to santa barbara ------------------------- It's a democratic hoax |

I remember it was pumping one year and Slater paddled out and was behind one of the putting greens on camera after his Pro Am round at Pebble Bch.
