Many golfers dream of playing on one of the world's famous golf courses. The Old Course in St. Andrews or Augusta National, where the Masters takes place every year. Pebble Beach is also one of these dream courses. And unlike Augusta, the coastal course in California is a public course that is accessible to everyone. At least if you can afford the green fee of 675 dollars. But even that is not enough. For a cart, which you can't avoid using, there's another 60 dollars per person on top of that. So you have to pay at least 735 dollars to fulfill your dream of playing where the men's and women's US Open has already taken place.
The anticipation of the day when you can finally play on the Pebble Beach Golf Links should be huge. You shouldn't let the score spoil your mood. But what if your wallet is snatched by a thieving seagull? That's what happened to an amateur golfer on the famous golf course. The video shows the bird taking its prey for a few rounds above its victim. The man chases the seagull desperately, but has no chance. Finally, the seagull loses the wallet and drops it down the steep cliffs into the sea. A day well spent for the amateur golfer. But it was also an unforgettable story that he will probably never forget.
