The area where the sushi chefs made the sushi was something of an island, where the outer ring was a conveyer belt that carried the nwly made sushi rolls. You could take any of the plates and add them to your dinner, and the pricing was based on the color/design of the plate that held your newly acquired sushi. I've been to some sushi places before in Atlanta and had never seend this, so I thought this concept was cool as hell.
This is the way a true sushi bar is set up, i.e. the way they do it in Japan. |

Awesome pics! I WILL play Pebble some day. I will also shoot 150 when I do, which will give me plenty of time for photo ops [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ] if i remember right, having a flat backswing forces you to drop it too far inside on the way down, which creates real big sweeping, and sometimes duck, hooks. try to keep the club more vertical on the backswing, and further away from your body on the downswing, almost like you are coming over the top of it. i have the same problem with a flat backswing and it leads to gross, gross hooks. the above little drill helps, try it on the range next time you play. |
Re: Monterey Trip Report - Long - (pics)
Killer report dude, glad you're having a great time.
I don't have many suggestions for the city, kinda been there done that too many times and all my thoughts are too touristy... I would however make a point to cruise over to Harding Park and the Olympic Club to take those in and pickup yardage books (I collect them from nice courses I visit). The city is great for dinner, but you may also want to conside a venture across the bridge to Sasulito for some nighttime grub. If you get a good seat, the views of SF are fairly awesome from over there, especially if the fog is light (fat chance on that though right now)... Maybe a trip to North Beech and hit a comedy show too. Chicks are a plenty there most nights... Have fun on the rest of your trip |

Awesome pics! I WILL play Pebble some day. [/ QUOTE ] I was stationed in Monterey. The golfers in my unit were quite excited. "We're going to play Pebble!" Then, reality set in--$300 for a round at Pebble, or $6 for a round at Fort Ord. None of them made it to Pebble. BTW, a lot of people don't know it, but Pebble has a 9-hole par-3 course, that the public can play for about $7. I don't golf, and it's not on the water, but I hear that it's sweet as hell. |
