Pebble Beach Golf Package at Spyglass Hill plus a round with Nevada’s Best Entertainer Greg London: valued at $900.00 – minimum bid $200
Will the real Greg London (www.thegregshow.tv) please stand up? First he’s channeling Buddy Holly, then he’s doing dead-on takes of Rod Stewart, Joe Cocker, ZZ Top, Jim Morrison, Barry Manilow, Bruce Springsteen and Johnny Cash. He digs female R&B icons too, showing legs as Tina Turner and rasp as Macy Gray. From there, he’s onto duets, familiar (Willie Nelson/Julio Iglesias) and, with Ozzy Osbourne and Kermit the Frog, downright crazy or inspired, depending how his thousands of fans on London’s West End and in Reno, Nevada choose to see them.
Spyglass Hill Golf Course takes its name from Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novel, Treasure Island, and is ranked number eleven on “America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses” list by Golf Digest for 2009/2010.
The design features two distinctly different kinds of terrain that influence the way the holes look and play. The first five holes roll through sandy seaside dunes challenging the golfer to carefully pick the safest path. The following 13 holes are cut through majestic pines with elevated greens and strategically placed bunkers and lakes to grab the errant shot.
Spyglass Hill is rated one of the toughest courses in the world from the Championship tees, boasting a course rating of 75.5 and a slope rating of 147. The PGA Tour consistently lists Spyglass Hill’s holes 6, 8 and 16 among the toughest on the tour, and during the 1999 United States Amateur, the stroke average of the field during medal play was in excess of 79.
