It was in the May 1956 issue, which was — jeez — almost 63 years ago. Jenkins told me he was paid $20 for the article, which was a fair rate back then — the same Farewell, Mr. Goat Hills rate Golf Digest paid. Jenkins wrote about his hometown Colonial CC, a topic dear to ports journalism, and certainly the great the Texan’s heart. I asked Jenkins about game of golf, lost a legend recently with Herb Graffis, founder of the passing of World Golf Hall of Famer Golfdom. He told me he was a funny guy, great at dinner S parties, but he didn’t know Dan Jenkins at the age of 90. I’m happy Graffis well. The thought of to say I knew Dan Jenkins, a little. Jenkins not knowing any- one in golf well was hard to believe.

It has been the site of golf’s most prestigious tourna- ments, including the annual AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, and five U.S. Open Championships. Pebble Beach will host another U.S. Amateur in 2018 and its sixth U.S. Open in 2019. Truly the most coveted course in the world to play! Spyglass Hill® Spyglass Hill is without question one of the top public golf courses in the U.S. Ranked #48 in the U.S, it is located on the Pebble Beach peninsula. The PGA TOUR®, consistently lists Spyglass Hill’s holes 6, 8 and 16 among the toughest on the TOUR, and during the 1999 US Amateur, the stroke average of the field during medal play was in excess of 79. Spanish Bay® The Links at Spanish Bay was built on vast sandy wasteland ideally suited for creating a true coastal Scottish links-style course. Development began in 1985, and was planned to protect the native dunes habitat. Prior cham- pionship tournaments included the 1993 Shivas Irons Games of the Links and NorCal Toyota Challenge.
