We can talk about our memories, our incredible times and our shots, good and bad! Remembering the times on the first hole and all the while, I was praying, don't really know if my husband was, probably not! I was always nervous Nellie on that first hole. Oh dear, while my knees were knocking I would pray that I would not whiff the ball in front of all those people that were watching! Just thinking of all of those that stood in that same spot and heard their names being called and hearing my name being called, was almost too much! What a thrill! Having my own caddie was absolutely awesome and terrifying at the same time! Golf is at its worldwide best at Pebble Beach.
I know that my husband and I cherish our times playing golf there. The best times of our lives were at Pebble Beach. Truly playing the most exciting course, walking and relishing walking in the footsteps of golf’s greatest names is something that we will both forever cherish.
We would go in April and celebrate my birthday there. We always would request the same room that overlooked 18th hole. Be still my heart, what beautiful and incredible memories we have of our times spent there. We are so thankful for those times.
They will forever be memories since we do not play golf anymore. My husband had a stroke five years ago at the age of 57. He is much better today, however his right side was affected and he is not able to play anymore. We have our memories now. I can say that for the first several years he would not watch golf. Now, we do enjoy watching the courses we were blessed to play on TV. It was truly the love of the game and the love of playing golf together that makes those times extra special.
Those wonderful times will be etched in our minds forever and ever~
I truly do NOT believe his golfing days are over! He has grit and determination, one day, I'll post about another golfing outing! I have this visual! I'm praying hard.
If you want to watch some great golf and see some of the best views ever, tune in today!
Starts soon, better scoot!
Those are great pictures and wonderful memories for you. Hope you and POP have a great day.
ReplyDeleteLove you,

awww. i'm glad you can still enjoy it together - after a bit of time has passed since your husband's stroke - at least on tv. :)
ReplyDeleteMy hubby is tuned in and has been. We got to visit Pebble Beach one day when we rented a car in San Francisco and drove down the coast. What a beautiful drive. We drove around the course. We used to play some together. Hubby played weekly and I did occasionally since I didn't have a women's group to play with. We played in Scottsdale, Az. At Phil's course. It was so pretty and we saw snakes. That was not fun. Now neither of us play anymore. Hubby got interested in working on cars instead.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear of your husband's stroke...especially at such a young age. You have beautiful pictures and memories though and that is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteGreat memories and pictures, Mom! Love you so much! Enjoy this beautiful Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI am watching it right now and watched yesterday too! I don't play golf but LOVE to watch it! Beautiful scenes! I just shared your pictures with my Husband:) Have a blessed day pretty lady, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteI've heard about how gorgeous it is at Pebble beach...what a blessing to get to play there! It's so great to have lots of photos to help us remember, too! Enjoy your Sunday! ♥
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry about your husband's stroke. I do believe you when you say you think he will play again. I hops so, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your photos, you both looks wonderful.
I don't play golf but I love to watch it. My son is a pro and gives lessons during the winter months. I guess all I have to do is say the word!! :)
XO,
Jane
Hi there, We are watching the tournament now and so glad Phil is leading right now. We used to live 2 hrs from there and went down all the time; in fact my bff lives in Carmel Valley and we will be there next weekend. Going back to visit our area for one week, northern Ca. is definitely prettier than Colorado in the winter time. I hope your hubby is able to get out one day-even if just for a short 9 hole course.
ReplyDeleteHave a great afternoon.
Hugs, Noreen
Oh goodness what fun...I think we are all saying thanks for our memories. Glad you can once again enjoy watching the game together!

Looks like some great memories for you to have Nancy. sandie
ReplyDeleteLoved this Nancy . . . such wonderful memories you and your husband have had . . . WOW . . . hill top moments playing golf at Pebble Beach! I am happy you were watching it today, together . . .
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures! I am glad that you can watch golf together now. Keep visualizing! You never know what the future may hold. ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't play golf but I have been to Pebble Beach! BEAUTIFUL!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat memories for you and your hubby!
I can so relate to your husband's not wanting to watch for awhile... It is so hard to have to give up something you love so much (I'm the same way about running). I will say a prayer for him to return to the tee, too.
ReplyDeleteLOVE golf, too! Who knew we'd share another interest? It is hard to squeeze in time to play these days, but I'm committed to getting a regular game this year.
I cannot imagine how wonderful it must have been to celebrate your birthdays at Pebble Beach!! I SAW it when I was there to run Big Sur Marathon in 2000. Took my breath away. We watched Clint Eastwood filming a commercial for the Open while we were at the Clubhouse. Thrilling! It is still on my bucket list to play. ;) Great to learn more about you. blessings ~ tanna
Wonderful tribute to some great times, Nancy. I too believe that you and Mike will play golf again someday.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun memories you and I have when we loaded up our little ones on the golf cart and played almost daily. So fun!!
Have a great week.
Hugs,

Nancy,
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by. My late husband played Pebble Beach with my sons. It was a dream come true for him and the boys.
Your blog is wonderful. We have a lot of the same interests!
Happy Valentine's Day and I am your newest follower.

Nancy, those are memories to cherish forever and I'm sure you will. We live in a golf community but I don't play golf. I enjoy watching everyone from my back porch. I heard my Dad talking to someone yesterday telling him his fun experience of playing at Pebble Beach. He has been lucky enough to play some great courses here and in other countries. You golfers are happy people. Maybe I will try it someday especially since it is so available here. Have a great week, Nancy.------ Shannon
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful Nancy.

Hi Nancy...That was a nice post. I was sorry to hear your sweetheart had a stroke. I really do HOPE he will recover enough so that you will, once again, play golf together.
ReplyDeleteWe take so many things for granted, don't we?
Thanks for all your visits and comments to my blog, Nancy. I appreciate them. Susan
We went there a few years ago. Such a GORGEOUS place. We didn't play golf, but just seeing Carmel was special enough for me. Hope you have a great day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet post filled with the cutest photos of you and your husband! Happy to hear he has recovered from his stroke and you are able to look forward to him working toward golfing together once again.

For the past hour, (or more) I have been scrolling through your blog trying to find this post. I found it . . . this post is what drew me to you. Oh, the adorable grandchilren had an impact, but this is the one . . .
ReplyDeletePebble Beach . . . Not sure why other than I remembered something about a change in your life . . .
I wanted to reconnect with that post.
Here I am, reconnecting, reading and loving your kindness and sweetness . . .
