When Bing Crosby dropped out of law school to join a band, one can imagine his parent’s unfavorable reaction. How were they to know he would parlay that into stardom and then a half-billion dollar real estate fortune. In terms of financial success in Hollywood, his only peer was his close friend Bob Hope. His entrepreneurial spirit carried over to sports, and he was the creator of the eponymous Pebble Beach pro/amateur tournament. This is a commemorative book of images and text on this celebrated annual event.
“In the Bible it says that God made the world in six days and rested on the seventh. There are some who insist that on the seventh day He created the Monterey Peninsula.”
--Dwayne Netland
