This golf course offers some of the spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean on just about every hole. This golf course has always been the best site for some of the most prestigious tournaments like the annual Pebble Beach Pro-Am, the occasionally US Open and the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am championships. This is the golf course where Tiger Woods had his 15 shot victory in the US Open. This Golf course is been designed by Douglas Grant and Jack Neville and was initially opened in the year 1919.

The main aim of the designer was to lay as many holes as possible along the coastline of Monterey. The layout of the golf course is extremely difficult and is obviously one of the most challenging courses for all the golfers. The first two holes are in land while the third hole is near the ocean and the fourth & fifth holes are also along the side of the ocean. The 3/7th hole is laid on the downhill with a very short hole and the wind plays a major role at this hole. The bottom line is that even though it is only stretched up to 110 yards the whole often plays 150 to 170 with the wind factor. This is just the illustration of how visually threatening and difficult holes this golf course offers. Whatever may be the reason Pebble Beach Golf Course is well-known status as one of the most spectacular golf courses in the world.

Every individual player has his own unique style of swinging the club. What works well with one player may not work well with the other player. So, how could a person learn to perfect a golf swing? The solution to develop a perfect golf swing is to work on several fundamentals and also trying to build a strong duplicating golf swing. Below are some of the instructions which will help a person to build a perfect golf swing.

1. Relax: This is one of the basic fundamentals one has to remember always while playing golf. As a player steps towards the tee box and gets in position to hit the ball, it is necessary for him to take a couple of beep breaths and relax. Relaxation can help him to produce a good golf shot because tensed muscles always produce a bad golf shot.

2. Backswing: In order to produce a good backswing, a player always has to turn his shoulders and lower body naturally. By doing so, his weight will steadily transfer to the right side as the club comes back. As the club comes back to halfway, set the wrists and later continue to take the club back until the left hand is up near the ear.

3. Downswing: While producing a downswing, a player must lead with his hips and let his arms and shoulders follow. This is done because the lower body generates the power to produce a good downswing.

4. Follow Through: It is essential to have a perfect follow through with the body weight leaning on the left side and the right knee pointing towards the target.

With this victory at the Mission Hills Golf Club, Scotland repaid their defeat last year in Barbados on the first hole against Marcel Siem and Bernhard Langer of Germany.
