2011 THE TOURNAMENT

After two wins in a row, Dustin Johnson aims for recordBy MICHAEL JAMES

IN HIS four-year PGA Tour tenure, DustinJohnson has had more success and disappoint-ment than many PGA Tour pros have in theirentire careers.

Johnson has four PGA Tour titles. But he alsohad a 54-hole lead at the U.S. Open last June atPebble Beach only to shoot a final-round 82. Twomonths later, at the PGA Championship inWisconsin, Johnson was eliminated from playoff con-tention after a controversial two-stroke bunkerpenalty on the final hole of regulation play.

Tall and thin and possessing a wickedly powerfulswing, Johnson speaks softly and hits the ballstraight and far. And at age 26, he’s also in positionto do what neither Ben Hogan, San Snead, JackNicklaus nor Tiger Woods could do at Pebble Beach.Since the tournament debuted on the Peninsula in1947, no one has won it three straight years.

Following an early week preamble of practicerounds and celebrity events, the $6.1 million, 72-holechampionship will unfold for three days on a three-course rotation — Pebble Beach Golf Links andSpyglass Hill Golf Course, both par 72s, andMonterey Peninsula Country Club (Shore Course)par 70.

And, weather permitting, the final round will beheld Sunday at Pebble Beach and will include the 60lowest scoring pros (and ties) and 25 low teams. Thewinning pro will earn $1,134,000.

“I have no hard feelings at all,” said Johnson of hispending return to the Monterey Peninsula after thedisaster in June. “It’s beautiful here and I’ve alwaysenjoyed coming back. Even at the U.S. Open, Iplayed really well for three days. I just struggled a lit-tle bit on the last day. It was a great learning experi-ence, and I take a lot from that week. I’ll alwaysenjoy coming back here.”

The MPCC layout debuted last year, replacingPoppy Hills Golf Course. The pro-am field was alsoreduced last year from 180 to 156, resulting in sub-stantially faster rounds.

Johnson, currently ranked 14th in the world, fin-ished the 2010 season fourth on the money list withmore than $4.4 million. But while aware of his poten-tial record third straight title at the AT&T, it’s not apriority.

“This year my goal is to get to the top 5 in theworld,” he said. “I just want to give myself as manychances to win as possible.”

Phil Mickelson, the reigning Masters championand three-time AT&T titlist (1998, 2005, 2007), JohnDaly, David Duval, Jim Furyk, Justin Leonard,Rocco Mediate, Sean O’Hair, Nick Watney andMike Weir are among arguably the most internation-ally diverse field in tournament history.

Sunghoon Kang, the early round leader at therecent Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego, andhis South Korea countryman Bio Kim, will be first-time AT&T entrants. Fabian Gomez (Chile),Alexandre Rocha (Brazil) and Jhonattan Vegas(Venezuela), winner of the Bob Hope Classic onJan. 23, will also make their AT&T debuts.

More than a dozen foreign-born PGA Tour veter-

Dustin Johnson receivesthe championship trophyfrom tournament chair-man Clint Eastwood afterthe 2010 AT&T PebbleBeach National Pro-Am. Ifhe wins this year, Johnsonwill have done somethingeven golf’s greatest play-ers never could: Win thePebble Beach event threeyears in a row.

Phil Mickelson (left) has enjoyed a lot of success at PebbleBeach, winning the pro-am in 1998, 2005 and 2007. Thecrowd always enjoys getting up close and person withcelebrities such as renowned boxer Oscar De La Hoya(above).

ans, Arjun Atwal (India) to Mike Weir (Canada) toTim Clark (South Africa), are also entered.

Johnson faltered in the final AT&T round lastyear. But his 2-over-par 74 at Pebble Beach still gavehim a one-stroke win over J.B Holmes, who had a71, and David Duval, who finished with a 69.

“Obviously, Sunday there is a little more nervesgoing on and a little more excitement,” said Johnson.“That always plays into account. I was comfortableand nervous, but nervous in a good way.”

Since its first year on the Peninsula, the formerCrosby Clambake has always mixed a strong profield with a diverse field of amateur businessmen andcelebrity golfers.

Actor Johnny Weismuller (Tarzan) and DelWebb, the real estate magnate and former New YorkYankees owner, played in the 1947 tournament. Thisyear, in addition to numerous business executives,the celebrity field will feature about two dozen enter-tainers, broadcasters and athletes.

Regular attendees Harris Barton, Michael Bolton,Chris Berman, Tom Dreesen, Kenny G, AndyGarcia, George Lopez, Craig T. Nelson, ChrisO’Donnell, Ray Romano, Kelly Slater, Clay Walkerand perennial favorite Bill Murray will all return.

Kevin Costner will return after a missing the eventthe past two years. He’ll be joined by Matt Cain,Brandi Chastain, Eric Close, Oscar de la Hoya, JoeKernen, Jackie Flynn, Oliver Hudson, Toby Mac,Tony Romo and Kurt Russell.

The AT&T, like other PGA Tour events, isimmersed in charitable causes. The MontereyPeninsula Foundation, which oversees the AT&T,raised a record $7 million for charity in last year’sevent.

The total, according to Ollie Nutt, the foundationCEO, was the second highest on the PGA Tour lastyear, behind the Valero Texas Open. The $86 millionraised by the tournament in the past 63 years is alsothe second most on the PGA Tour behind the ByronNelson Classic.

“Those numbers aren’t that bad considering thatwe’re a small community,” Nutt said. “We’re pleasedwith that.”

Television coverage of the AT&T will be shared bythe Golf Channel and CBS. The Golf Channel willbroadcast the tournament Thursday and Fridayfrom noon to 3 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from10 to 11:30 a.m.

CBS will televise the tournament Saturday fromnoon to 3 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 3:30 p.m.

Tickets are available via phone (800-541-9091)and the tournament web site: www.attpbgolf.com.

49ers and Giants face off in revamped charity eventBy MARY BROWNFIELD

BASEBALL VS. football.San Francisco vs. SanFrancisco. Four of the topGiants and four of the greatest 49ers toever play the game will duke it out dur-ing the five-hole AT&T Pebble BeachNational Pro-Am Charity Shoot-Out,which has been revamped for this year.The competition will be held on thePebble Beach Golf Links the Tuesdayof tournament week, with the playersfighting for a $100,000 purse to benefitcharity.

At a media day held at theMonterey Peninsula Country Club inJanuary, tournament organizersannounced former offensive tackleHarris Barton will captain the 49ersteam, while pitcher-turned-broadcasterMike Krukow will head the Giantsteam. The remainder of the 49ers teamwill be former tight end Brent Jones,and former receivers Dwight Clarkand Jerry Rice.

Former infielder Duane Kuiper(who is also a broadcaster), pitcherMatt Cain and outfielder Cody Rosswill round out the Giants team led byKrukow.

Starting at 1:30 p.m. Feb. 8, the fourtwo-man teams will tee off on the 1stHole at Pebble Beach, and then playthrough the 2nd and 3rd holes beforeheading to the 17th and finishing onthe 18th. During the shoot-out, theplayers will use the Scotch format.Each teammate will hit a drive, afterwhich they will play from the best ofthe two tee shots in an alternate-shotformat. Each hole will be worth$20,000, with half the money going tolocal charities and the other half bene-fitting the 49ers’ or Giants’ foundation,depending on which team wins thehole. In the case of a tie, the prizemoney will roll forward to the nexthole.

Barton said he received a call fromMonterey Peninsula Foundation CEOOllie Nutt last summer and was happyto take part. Clark volunteered to play.

“And Jerry Rice — I don’t know ifyou’d call him a professional golfer, ornot,” he said, referring to Rice’s bid lastyear to play on the Nationwide Tour.

Barton said everyone involved isthrilled to be coming to the MontereyPeninsula in the name of giving back.He also praised the MontereyPeninsula Foundation, which orga-

nizes the pro-am, for providing the$100,000 purse.

“This is one of the great events foran amateur to play in, and when youget invited to play, you do it,” Bartonsaid of the pro-am, which he describedas “the Super Bowl of amateur golf.”

“And when you get asked to dosomething for charity,” he added, “youcertainly do it.”

When asked what the makeup ofthe 49ers teams would be, Barton saidhe suspected Clark and Rice would“do that receiver thing.”

He also couldn’t resist a little trashtalking. “We’ve got 12 Super Bowlrings against the Giants’ two, so I don’tthink they really stand a chance,” saidBarton, who has played in the AT&TPebble Beach National Pro-Am seventimes, finishing third in 2007 and mak-ing the cut in 2008. “But we’ll see.”

The Giants team members, ofcourse, weren’t present to defendthemselves, so the truth will have to be

found on the golf course.“They’re obviously exceptional in

their selective fields,” said MontereyPeninsula Foundation President andtournament director Steve Worthy.“So, we will see how they do on thegolf course.”

In addition to the 49ers and Giantsfoundations, the charities that will ben-efit from their prowess on the greensare the American Heart Association,CALSTAR (California ShockTrauma Air Rescue helicopter),Sunrise House and Interim, Inc. Theywere selected from among more than80 charities that competed during aclosest-to-the-pin contest at PebbleBeach Jan. 22.

The charity shoot-out will begin onthe 1st Tee at 1:30 p.m., and admissionis included in the Monday-through-Wednesday practice-round tickets thatsell for $60 each. For more informa-tion or to purchase, visit www.attpb-golf.com.

2011 CHARITIES

Pro-Am vital for local nonprofitsBy CHRIS COUNTS

THANKS TO the AT&TPebble Beach National Pro-Am, Carmel’s youngest soft-ball players now have their Field ofDreams.

The fabled golf tournament —which was once known as the CrosbyClambake — has raised more than $85million for local charities since theevent was first staged in Pebble Beachin 1947.

“It’s looking really good,” said MattDavis, who serves as the league’s pres-ident. “The grants have made a big dif-ference for us.”

The Rookie Field, which is located

boasts nearly 200 local players rangingfrom 6 to 14. “Our primary focus is toprovide a fun, safe and competitiveenvironment to play softball,” Davisexplained.

Despite Carmel’s reputation as aretirement community, the town is alsoearning a reputation as a hotbed ofsoftball talent. “Our program has field-ed teams that have placed in the stateand regional championships each ofthe past three years,” Davis observed.

Davis attributed part of the girls’success to tough local competition,which has helped prepare the players

Big Sur light stationIt’s no small task to maintain a 120-

year-old lighthouse that’s perched on amassive wind-blasted and foggy rock.So the volunteers who work to restorethe Pt. Sur Light Station in Big Surare always happy for the support theyreceive from the AT&T Pro-Am golftournament.

In 2009, the nonprofit CentralCoast Light Station Keepers weregiven $15,000 by the MontereyPeninsula Foundation to replace partof the roof on the light station’s signalroom, which over the past century hashoused a fog horn and other sound-making devices.

The Big Sur Lighthouse is one of the mosthistoric buildings on the coast of California.

“In the early days, a whistle wasmounted on the roof, and it was pow-ered by steam from wood-fueled boil-ers,” explained Doug Williams, whoserves as vice president for theCCLSK. “Through the ages, differentmethods were used. The last one was afog horn.”

About half the roof was in badshape. “It was very dilapidated andleaked badly,” Williams noted.

It took $27,500 to fix the roof, andthe grant from the AT&T Pro-Am cov-ered more than half of the expenses.

THE MONTEREY Peninsula has longbeen considered a destination for golfers,and many fans of the game — as well asthe pros who play it — have made it their home. Thenumber and diversity of the courses here run thegamut, from bargain rounds at hidden gems, to over-the-top splurges on pristine fairways and greens,accompanied by a fabulous lunch in a fancy restau-rant.

The courses were named toGolf Digest’s list of Best Remodels for 2009 andplaced 15th on the magazine’s list of Best PublicCourses in California in 2010. Gen. RobertMcClure, original designer of Bayonet in 1954, wasknown for his left-handed slice and designed theholes accordingly, with severe doglegs running rightto left. The 7,104-yard par-72 course was named forthe 7th Infantry Light Fighter Division, nicknamedthe Bayonet Division, and was infamous for its gru-

“Spanish Bay recalls the original Scottish conceptof the game golf established over five hundred yearsago ... Here, the golf course provides you with thechoice of using your regular shot or a low, runningshot to play the firm turf while keeping the ball underthe steady ocean breezes,” according to P.B. Resorts.Open for public play, the 6,821-yard par-72 SpanishBay links were jointly designed by Robert TrentJones, Jr., former USGA president Sandy Tatumand Tom Watson, who once remarked, “Spanish Bayis so much like Scotland, you can almost hear thebagpipes.” “Links” refers to the old Scottish term fora sandy seaside wasteland with bristly grasses andstiff prevailing winds, and the Monterey coastline isreminiscent of the rugged beauty of that country. Thecourse overlays land once occupied by a sand mineand included extensive rehabilitation of the dunesand native plants in the area.

■ Monterey Pines GolfCourse, Monterey

Recently renovated, the official U.S. Navy courseoffers one of the best deals in town. “Those who haveplayed are unanimous in their assessment of thecourse: challenging for all, well conditioned, greatpace of play and friendly staff. The new course offersour servicemen and women an outstanding venue forgolf at affordable rates. Monterey Pines is well on theway to being recognized as one of the best of allNavy Golf Courses,” according to the NavalPostgraduate School, which operates MontereyPines. Golfers who get a rush from being directlyunder the flight path of a regional airport should def-initely put in a round at the U.S. Navy’s golf course,which is also open to the public for very low rates.But the course is not without its darker stories,including the crash-landing of a Cessna on the 6thFairway in September 2003 (no golfers wereinvolved), and the crash of a Carmel Valley attor-ney’s small plane in the driveway more recently.Robert Muir Graves designed the course in 1963,and it has been redesigned by Marc Messier.

Designed by Jack Neville — whoalso designed Pebble Beach Golf Links andMonterey Peninsula Country Club’s Shore Course— and H. Chandler Egan in 1932 partly on land thecity bought from Pebble Beach Company founderSam Morse, this 5,732-yard par-70 public course issituated on prime real estate near Asilomar StateBeach and surrounds the historic Point PinosLighthouse. The ocean scenery is unsurpassed, andthe highly regarded Zagat Survey selected it as one ofthe best courses in the country in 2003. “The holesare unpretentious, reminiscent of an era when the‘par fours’ were sometimes less than 300 yards andthe ‘par threes’ could be contemplated by the com-mon folk. There are not many bunkers, and thegreens are small,” according to the City of PacificGrove, which also boasts of the course’s scenery andocean views. The new clubhouse, located at 77Asilomar Blvd. in Pacific Grove, was completed inFebruary 2006. Fees for 18 holes range from $20 to$48.

■ Pasadera Country Club,Monterey

Designed by Jack Nicklaus, Pasadera opened inspring 2000, just a few months before the U.S. Openwas played at the Pebble Beach Golf Links. “Theoriginal landscape at Pasadera provided a unique

opportunity to create a dramatic layout that incorpo-rates selected design features reminiscent of theworld’s most revered layouts. The course evokessimilarities to The Old Course at Saint Andrews,Augusta National, Pine Valley and Pebble Beach,which are arguably four of my favorite courses in theworld. It is my hope that golfers will enjoy the sub-tleties that Pasadera has to offer, from the openingtee shot, to the final putt,” says Nicklaus, whodesigned the 6,743-yard par-71 course open only tomembers and their guests. Capitalizing on the exist-ing hills, canyons and old oak groves, Nicklaus usednatural-style bunkering and took advantage of splen-did hazards, such as the awe-inspiring par 3 over adeep chasm. Located at 100 Pasadera Drive offHighway 68, Pasadera lies just east of Laguna SecaGolf Ranch and west of the world-famous race trackby the same name.

■ “I get The Pine Cone every week and enjoy it more than you can know. What a wonderful paperyou have. I read every word!”

■ “I just wanted to let you know how truly outstanding The Pine Cone is. The writing equals, if notexceeds, top-notch national papers. You and your staff should be proud. I know I’ve told youbefore how great I think The Pine Cone is, but it really is a terrific paper.”

■ “Thank you for providing balanced and researched reporting and upbeat articles. I hope wehave The Pine Cone around for many years to come. If it gets down to it, I would pay for thesubscription to keep the paper viable.”

■ “We poll our ticket-buyers as to where they hear about our concerts. You might be surprised tolearn how many of them mention The Pine Cone. Thanks!”

■ “Thanks for the consistently great job you do with your newspaper. I regularly read several news-papers from around the country and yours has the best editorial integrity — bar none. Keep up the good work!”

■ “I look forward to The Pine Cone more than you will ever know.”

■ “The Pine Cone used to be my Friday morning habit, and now it’s my Thursday night habit. I also love the fact I canget the entire paper online when I’m out of town.”

■ “I am a regular advertiser in your paper, and I have been meaning to tell you how much I enjoy your writing. Itaccomplishes exactly what I guess you want it to: I always want to read on. I appreciate and enjoy your talent.”

■ “I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate The Pine Cone and the fact that it seems to be the only news medium that does not feel it must serve up a diet of perversion, doom, gloom and controversy in order to glean and keep readers.”

■ “I am writing to thank you for your excellent newspaper, especially since it is available online. God Bless you and your editorial and production staff.”

■ “I love your newspaper!”

■ “I am so grateful to read all about the local news.”

■ “I just want to tell you how much I enjoy receiving The Pine Cone online ... it keeps me connected with Carmel.I love what you guys do.”

■ “I don’t know where all the good reporters have gone, but I sure miss them when I read other local papers.Keep up the good work. Your community needs you.”

■ “I can’t begin to tell you how much I look forward to The Pine Cone. It gives me more news in one week andone edition than the Herald does all week. You and your staff seem to have an ability to sniff out what is really important and of interest to Carmelites, weed out all the extras, and deliver it in a concise and timely manner. I can’t thank you enough for it.”

■ “I love Carmel and your enticing commentary. You’re creative.”

■ “Probably 50 people came to our event because of the article you printed. I kept asking people,‘How did you hear about this?’ and pretty much to a person they said, ‘the article in the paper,’ which meant The Pine Cone. Thank you so much.”

■ “I have always been amazed at your editorials in The Pine Cone in that I do not believe I have ever disagreed with one of them. From taxes to the economy, to our current leaders, the crazy historical preservation efforts inCarmel, our court system, you have been a voice of sane reason in an increasingly insane world.I call you the ‘anti-Chronicle,’ and, believe me, that is a huge compliment.”

■ “Thank you for your excellent, easy-to-read, always-appreciated newspaper.”

■ “Your team is doing a great job! I have been a subscriber for a while now. The paper lets me know what’s going with my Favorite Place On Earth.”

2011 WHEN YOU’RE NOT ON THE LINKS

Massage therapist offers relief from watching (or playing)By KELLY NIX

FOR TENS of thousands ofgolf fans each year, theAT&T Pebble BeachNational Pro-Am is a chance to seethe world’s best golfers play on one ofthe world’s best golf courses.

However, among the die-hard golffans there are always more than a fewfamily members and friends whowould rather ditch the greens and dosomething else — get a massage, per-haps — while their partners enjoy golfall day long.

If you fall into that category, there’sa massage therapist in Pacific Grove —just a few minutes from Pebble Beach— who can come to your rescue.

Certified massage therapist StacyBradley who owns Massage andHolistic Wellness Services at 167 17thSt., knows well the benefits of massage— and hears it regularly from herclients.

“I often hear people say ‘I feel likemy self again,’ and that’s a beautifulthing,” Bradley said. “My clients tellme they feel a little more whole again.”

Bradley received formal trainingand certification in Swedish-style mas-sage from the Monterey Institute ofTouch in Carmel. She is also trained ina variety of other techniques includingorthopedic, deep tissue, shiatsu andsports massage.

“Most that have tried massagewould agree that this is one of thenicest things you can do for yourself,”she said.

Instead of insisting on a specificmassage discipline, Bradley offerswhatever feels best for a person,whether it’s deep tissue or orthopedic.

“I use whatever technique will helpa person get off the table and feel morerelaxed, more mobile and free of pain,”she said.

Special needsAbout half Bradley’s clients are

those who are ill or in chronic pain.Some have disabilities or are confinedto a bed. Human touch, especially byan expert like Bradley, can be comfort-ing and rejuvenating, increase circula-tion and even reduce or get rid of pain,she said.

“When someone is in chron-ic pain, acute pain ordepressed,” Bradley said, “it’s awonderful thing to see themexperience relief.”

She also has many seniorclients who sometimes can’tendure the pressure that mas-sage offers. Light touch is agood alternative.

“Energy work is really help-ful with older people who havea lot of arthritic pain and arereally unable to tolerate mas-sage,” she explained.

“When I put my handsdown, it warms up their jointsand helps comfort and relaxthem,” she explained.

Bradley also works withpeople who are in hospice care.Some are in chronic pain andothers are terminally ill. Sherecognizes every client hastheir own circumstances andchallenges.

My clients leave with a bet-

Bradley also offers sessions in vari-ous types of energy work, such asReiki, which involves transferringenergy to a person with light touch oreven no touch at all.

“I can do an entire session withouttouching a person,” she said, “but Iprefer putting my hands down.”

Clients who are at first unsure orskeptical about energy work, oftenlater praise its benefits, she said.

“Not everybody is ready to hear‘energy’ or ‘hands-on healing,’”Bradley said. “But they understandmassage and, to some degree, the heal-ing power of touch. I try to keep it sim-ple. People just want to feel better.”

A typical session in energy workinvolves a client laying clothed on amassage table while Bradley uses herhands and lightly places them on areasof the body.

Even though there is no massageand Bradley doesn’t move her handsmuch, the experience — as demon-strated in a 15-minute session with aPine Cone reporter — is extremelyrelaxing.

“While some people feel the energybeing taken into their body anddescribe it as a feeling of warmth orcool air or a mild tingling sensation,”she said, “others feel nothing but con-clude the session with the overall feel-ing of relaxation and peace.”

Bradley’s sessions take place in acomfortable setting in her P.G. studio.She offers clients a choice in music anddifferent types of organic massage oilsthat she makes.

While some clients prefer to remainquiet — some even go to sleep — otherslike to carry on a conversation, optionsBradley happily leaves open.

“It’s your special time so you canchoose to remain quiet and simplyexplore your own thoughts during asession or chat if desired,” she said.

ter sense of well being,” she said.“They feel better on the inside and onthe outside.”

Massage & Holistic WellnessServices is at 167 17th Street in PacificGrove. Call (831) 277-0643 or go towww.spiritsdelight.com for informa-tion and to schedule an appointment.

Holistic massage is about more than just manipula-tion of the body. It’s also about atmosphere, fra-grances and oils.
