Kim Jong-il, Sportsman
In the political world, Kim Jong-il of North Korea was a despot and nuclear antagonist.

In his first match at Pyongyang Lanes, Kim bowled a perfect 300, according to state-run news media, which - Late North Korean leader Kim Jong-ils cult of personality influenced countrys sporting endeavors as well as its politics; North Korean state media has claimed not simply that Kim excelled at sports, but that he logged a number of sporting feats that count as miraculous.

What time is best to surf near PEBBLE BEACH? Where can I get lessons?
Aunt lives in Pebble beach and I am looking to visit. Never surfred, but I am a good swimmer and excellent snowboarder. Would like to know how I get set up, time, lessons, board, etc...
Answer: Surfing is an ocean sport, to do it right, you have to be at home in the ocean, with its currents, rips, undertows and sometimes big waves. I don't just mean being good at swimming in a pool, the ocean can be very unforgiving. I have seen lots of really good pool swimmers have to get rescued. You have to learn surf etiquette (so the experienced surfers in the line up don't want to drown you), how to paddle and take off on a wave, and how to ride a wave.
Lessons are usually the best way to start, unless you are an adolescent or young adult with lots of pals who surf who can teach you. Go to a real surf shop. The folks there can hook you up with lessons, and even rent you a board to learn on. Just work on your basics, and after you feel good, think about buying a board, but don't rush into anything.
Be careful of what you read here on line. There are lots of really well meaning young folks who have neat answers about surfing, but at 55, I tend to classify anyone under 25 as a kid. After I found this site, I figured that I could answer a few questions, and spread the 'good news' of surfing. After you learn to swim and master the ocean, get your REAL advice from a surf shop, where industry professionals earn their rent money selling surfboards.
I have been surfing since 1966, and had a lifetime of fun. take the time and learn the 'right way' and you will have a lifetime of fun too. Good luck

How does the PEBBLE BEACH Pro-Am work?
after watching the Pebble beach Pro-Am yesterday, i didnt quite understand how it worked. i know that there are both pros and amateurs playing. do they play against each other? are there teams of two people, one pro one amateur? theoretically, could an amateur win?
any other knowledge would be greatly appreciated!
Answer: A professional is paired with an amateur and they play a team best ball with the amateur having the benefit of his handicap strokes. There are three courses in the rotation and all of the amateurs play each course with their professional partner. After the third day the low sixteen teams play the final round at Pebble beach and are often included in the last couple of groups because it is quite possible to be playing with a pro that's in the hunt for the championship. The amateurs take the competition very seriously and are thrilled just to make the cut and to win the event is just plain awesome. An amateur cannot win the pro event.

Can you access the pro shop at PEBBLE BEACH if you are not golfing there?
I am going to be in Monterey for the weekend but will not have time to golf, and wanted to get some Pebble beach Golf Links items. Can anyone suggest where if not at the course. Can you access a gift shop or pro shop at the course if you are not playing there?
Answer: Yes. You can access the pro shop, and even walk the course. The 1st, 17th and 18th are all easy walks from the clubhouse, but if you want to go out to Cypress Point, its quite a way out there. The Pro Shop has a great selection of gifts and memorabilia, but its not cheap (imagine that...) It will also cost you about $10 to get on the property, it lies in a gated community and if you dont live there they make you pay at the gate.
Well worth it...I didnt even play and it was one of the most memorable golf experiences Ive ever had. Gonna go back and play it in a couple months!

Do you need a specific handicap to play PEBBLE BEACH?
my dad just told me that you need to be under a certain handicap to play Pebble beach or Spyglass. is there any truth to that? if not, ar ethe other popular courses the you need a certain handicap to play?
Answer: No, all you need is $500 for pebble and about $400 for spyglass.
The courses are fairly difficult, though the pros 'eat-up' Pebble beach. So, he's probably telling you that, because if you anything over, say a 12 handicap, you will struggle and shoot at high number. However, it's worth it- as it remains the #1 course in the world! A must-play in your lifetime.
Ask your Dad, "Dad, if I shoot in the 70's 3 times in a row, will you take me to Pebble?"
Also, the NCGA hosts annual tournaments/championships (for amateurs) which begin as 'regional' events throughout Northern California.

Going into the US Open, what characteristics of a golfers game are most important at PEBBLE BEACH?
What set of skills are most important for a golfer to have at Pebble beach. Obviously, being a US Open, all skills of their game will be tested but I want to know what are the key aspects of a golfers game that are most important. Driving distance, driving accuracy, greens in regulation, scrambling, sand play, putts per round etc?
Answer: Tough question to answer because a US Open set up on any course is going to test a player more than the normal set up at the same course because the USGA wants a stern test of golf for the Open....not the best field. Typically though @ Pebble you have to drive it straight and especially @ an Open as they usually grow out the rough longer so the bomb & gouge method is much harder to play. You also have to be able to lag putt well as Pebble has some seriously tough greens anyway with lots of undulations & breaks, but they'll make them lightning quick for the Open! You also have to be able to work the ball both ways...#1 for the pin locations and to combat the wind they'll certainly see. I think we'll have a newbie break through to win the Open this year....no Tiger or Phil I don't think.

First time beach fishing on a PEBBLE BEACH what do i need?
I may be going beach fishing in 1 month on a Pebble beach an neither me or my dad (who i am going with) has ever done this before. What do we need and any tips? (In the UK btw)
Answer: Hi, sounds like bonny Brighton or maybe the Chesil beach. Good fishing from both of them.
You need a beachcaster rod, 11 or 12 feet long, and a big spinning reel to put on it.
You can buy a rod and reel combo cheaper than getting them separately, from any fishing shop.
Shakespeare and Daiwa are good brands, moderate prices for the lower range models that will still catch loads of big fish (but mostly smaller ones,haha), and are the most popular choices in UK and most of Europe, and in USA.
The combos normally come with the reel already loaded with 10lb or 12 lb line, maybe 15lb line. Otherwise just buy a couple of reels of line of at least 10lb up to 18lb breaking strain, which costs £4 or so for 100 metres up to crazy or what for top quality braided 40lb line with no stretch and good for tope and big conger eels, not that you'll get any off a pebbly beach. Well, you might just get a tope, but it would be very rare. Congers like rocks and wrecks and places where they get into holes and ambush things going past. Open spaces are not what congers like to be in.
Then you need some hooks. Just ask in the fishing shop for some suitable hooks for beach fishing. There are hundreds of styles and sizes. A long shank 2/0 or 3/0 Aberdeen hook or anything around that size will be OK.
For weights you can get rid of money for them or just use old sparking plugs and big wheel nuts that fall off of truck wheels and you can pick up off the roads, or anything around half an ounce to a couple of ounces in weight that flies easily and can be tied onto the line with some twine.
Swivels and little snap fasteners come in handy too for making up bits of end tackle so get a packet of each.
The whole lot could come to around £40 per rod for really budget stuff, £80 for two lots if you are both fishing, or you could pay £400 for really classy kit that won't pay for itself in fish for a long time.
Look in charity shops as well in any seaside place for rods that people have bought for holidays and then got rid of. £5-£10 could get you a lovely long beachcaster or a big reel.
Here is a sea fishing intro site so you know the general idea and how to dig for bait if you want (nothing on a Pebble beach though) and unhook fish and all the other bits you need to get a good free dinner....well, not counting the cost of the gear...conveniently forget that bit.
http://www.fishing-blog.co.uk/beginners-corner/ . . .
More of it, plus the big stuff....but they all started like you. Before they became top fishermen they got their first rod and made their first cast, and it probably wasn't any better than most of us manage...keep going. It gets better.....just believe it. You won't for the first few times but then it clicks, just how to get the bait traveling through the sky and into the water instead of landing ten feet away in a pile of tangled 'bird's nest' fishing line. If it happens, just laugh at it. Then get the line sorted and wound onto the reel again. We've all been there, no worries.
Scroll down to the big site map section for lots of goodies.
http://www.worldseafishing.com/ . . . .
This site has all the news about fishing all around the UK, what fish are around etc.
http://www.gofishing.co.uk/Sea-Angler/ . . .
Have fun, and mind the seagulls.
If you can put a location or just the area in the additional details box I'll get you a site that covers fishing in that area....Brighton, Chesil beach, Hebrides, Point of Ayre on the Isle of Man,whatever.
All those have Pebble beaches and there are hundreds more.
