Can anyone believe we're already in the second week of
January? How many people are still sticking with their New Year's Resolutions? I
broke my No More Starbucks resolution already, as I pulled up at the
drive through to order a Grande Blonde Roast and a breakfast sandwich! FAIL! While
the beginning of the year is typically the most opportune time for some people
to begin new habits - there are 11 other months in the year to try something
new! And as January comes and goes, we always have February to look forward to.
For us here in the Carmel / Pebble Beach Area, February is synonymous with the
AT&T Pro-Am Golf Tournament, an event featuring professional PGA stars, a
field of amateurs, and even a group of celebrity players, some of whom make
appearances every year!
The event is played at three courses in Pebble Beach - the
Pebble Beach Golf Links, Spyglass Hill Golf Course and Monterey Peninsula
Country Club Shore Course, and is typically attended by about 150,000
spectators! Past winners of the event include legendary golfers like Jack
Nicklaus (three-time winner), Tom Watson (two-time winner), Mark O'Meara
(five-time winner), Payne Stewart, Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh, Davis Love III
(two-time winner), Phil Mickelson (four-time winner),and Dustin Johnson
(two-time winner). An event featuring some of the world's best players on some
of the world's most extraordinary golf courses? I couldn't come up with a
reason NOT to attend!

For those who aren't quite as enthused by golf, you can always
find entertainment in the form of the celebrity rounds. This year, some of the
celebrity players in attendance include sports stars like SF Giants' Pitcher
Matt Cain and Catcher Buster Posey, Actors Josh Duhamel, Ray Romano and a
beloved favorite of the event - Bill Murray. To see a list of all the players,
visit the AT&T Pro-Am Website.

What makes this year's AT&T event extra special is that
it happens to fall on the 3-day Presidents Day Weekend, the Saturday of which
is Valentine's Day! For most of you, it means you can stick around for the Final
Round on Sunday and not have to worry about getting yourself home in time for
work the next day! Why not make Valentine's Day special for the golf lover in
your life, and plan a trip to the area for a relaxing weekend here with us at
Tradewinds? A shuttle is available to pick you up and bring you back, and we
are offering special packages for those who want to come a little earlier for
the practice rounds during the week.

chocolates, a split 90-minute massage and (2) week-long shuttle passes for the
tournament (tournament tickets not included). Rates for this package start at
$1600.
We are also offering a package so you can Watch the AT&T
