Did I tell you that my girl loves pebbles? Eversince she was a toddler, in our garden walks, she always picks up pebbles and without fail starts to meddle with them. She will sometimes stack them up and see which one will topple the stack, lay them out in a straight line, throw them onto different surfaces to hear the sounds made, or pretend to use them as ingredients to cook a meal for me. These pebbles are just the right size for their small palms to grasp, and it is round edged so it is not dangerous. Her obsession with these pebbles always had me brewing up different ideas of using these pebbles for play and explorative activities.
One of the ideas that came up is using markers to draw on the pebbles. I presented the pebbles in a basket, and some chalk markers (from Daiso). Chalk markers are water-based markers which makes the ink washable. It becomes an open-ended art activity that allows Rae to use her imagination and creativity to make marks on the pebbles. You can also use these beautifully drawn pebbles as paper weights in your office!

Such open-ended activities allow your child to be free with her art expressions. Its perfectly alright for the child to draw the way she likes it, and use her markings to symbolise her ideas. Encourage her to expand her thoughts by prompting her with questions. Ask her to express and describe what she is drawing. Value her artwork and show interest in what she is drawing. Remember that the process of creating is more important than the finished product to a child.
For one of the playdates, I decided to let some children try this activity together! They were so engrossed in drawing on the pebbles, that I ran out of pebbles in no time! Try it out sometime, if you need a filler activity to occupy the children!
I also have an original (black) Pebble and it's great. I like the simplicity of it, like an always on display and the fact that it acts more like an extension or remote to my phone, rather than another device to compete with it.
mine was fruity pebbles. always fruity pebbles. (unless those frosted cheerios were on the table). we used to have to fight for the fruity pebbles around my house because my dad would take the biggest bowl he could find and make a GIANT bowl of cereal for himself on the weekends.
when i was younger i'm pretty sure milkshakes were the ONLY way i got calcium. i used to make them with an immersion blender that we kept in the retractable bread box. it means i had to pull literally EVERYTHING out of the box to even find it, because a whole bunch of crap was stuck in there too. so basically i had to be REALLY devoted. (which i generally was when it came to milkshakes).
i stand by the claim that THIS step is what makes these milkshakes. if you absolutely can't do it in advance, i'd just throw the full cup and half of dry cereal into the milkshake when you're blending it up.
we blend it up with some cake vodka (or you could use whipped cream vodka if you're out of cake ?) & french vanilla ice cream (because french vanilla is way creamier than like vanilla bean. ew.) and some more cereal!
Art is never wrong and creativity always finds the right answer. We've designed a dot grid notebook that is uniquely square, and this silhouette provides a spacious canvas to capture every single one of your brilliant ideas. Use it like a sketchbook or journal. Draw, paint, and dream each one of your ideas, goals and ambitions, because when it comes to your creative vision, you are always right!
We can engrave on the other side of the stone with a word or numbers for an extra 6 (max 10 characters)."Characters" are letters, spaces and punctuation eg: CHRISTINA is 9 characters. All letters are engraved as capitals. Dates are converted to numbers eg: 15th August 2011 will be 15.08.11
Choose from natural stone, or highlighting the heart with gold or silver. See our slate tiles to have more letters, or a keepsake pebble to have longer words without the heart.
Gift box - A stylish white gift box is available, tied with ribbon.
Please note:The pebbles are not man-made. They are natural stones smoothed flat on river beds and may contain imperfections e.g. chips, fissures and cracks, mottling, colour blemishes and fine grey thread lines (the white shows up more flaws than the grey and come in a range of shapes). Stones will vary in size, shade, shape and texture; if you order two stones they will not match. We have taken a rough, organic product and left it in its natural state, engraving the type like a stamp in the stone. We hope you'll appreciate the uniqueness of these natural stones, and treasure them as a personalised keepsake.
Beautiful engraved pebble - always my go to for a perfect little keepsake. Have bought so many of these over the years, as wedding and new baby gifts as well as remembrance stones. Always arrive swiftly, great quality and always loved as a gift!

the dark spots is the poa annua while the green spots are bent grass
[/quote]
Really?? Are you sure?? If I see bent green out our way, sooner of later poa will take over and the poa patches is always a brighter green then the dark green bent grass greens.
[/quote]
The darker spots are NOT other grasses; it's all Poana.
I was at Pebble this weekend. The greens looked much better in person than they did on TV. They were cut very short for Poa annua and they were about as firm as they have ever been. So the grass was stressed, thus the blotchy appearance. But the putts rolled true for the most part, just fast.
Another thing to note, the greens at Pebble have a lot of slope. That's what makes them difficult to putt, not just the type of grass.
The fairways were also cut very short and not much water was being applied. Hit the fairway and you get about 50 yards of roll. The firmess of the fairways and greens is why guys were hitting the ball so far this weekend.
Overall the course was in awesome shape, the best I have ever seen it.

The fact that so many people think that green golf courses automatically means healthy golf courses has ruined half of the courses in the US.
[/quote]
I wouldn't say making a golf course green ruins it. But the USGA is trying to make courses more natural and more cost efficient. Even a course like Pebble can't truly be considered natural, because if it was returned to its natural state it would be ratty scrub brush with no grass. Not many places other than Scotland can get away with relatively natural conditions.
If all courses were as firm and fast as Pebble was over the weekend, average golfers would take 7 hours to play a round. But there is definitely room to move away from courses that are green and mown from tee to green (and everywhere in between).

Unfortunatly, Poa is a very invasive weed and can't be controlled apparently. Players generally hate it, and I noticed many times they were perplexed the way their balls rolled. But everyone has the same thing to deal with, so the playing field is even at least. There is a course here in San Diego (Barona) that planted bent initially and intended to keep it that way. I know they have an army of guys on their hands and knees picking out the poa clumps when it starts to take over, but I don't know if they've been successful. Hey, golf is not played on an artificial surface, it is living and growing - it's not a perfect world. Personally I don't mind the appearance of it becuase it is easy to find a target to aim at partway to the hole.

I've played courses up in the northeast were they spray your shoes with some sort of sporacide. At the same course, when Po is noticed on the green, they cut it out and replace it with the intended bent grass.
Personally, I like 100% poa as a putting surface. It is had started to take over a lot of courses in Vegas. Most supers have to use needle nose pliers to pull it out. Over time Poa will usually grind out most maintenance crews. It just takes too much time and resources to keep it out. It literally has to be removed a stand at a time.
I don't think the issues with the greens at Pebble are necessarily due to them being Poa. I think they crossed the line today (sun) with how firm they were. It doesn't matter what strain is being used when they get that dried out. They didn't cross the line like they did at Shinnecock. But the line was still crossed. They were too inconsistent. They probably should have added a little H2O to them. Enough to keep them firm, but not crusted out.
While everyone had to play on the same surface, this doesn't make it fair. It depends if the ball catches the right zig-zag correctly when putting. You can't hit the ball below the hole b/c you can't predict how huge the first bounce was going to be. Sometimes it took a huge hop and kept rolling and sometime it didn't and stopped dead. Some even backed up.
At least this years winner was probably correct. Definitely better than last years open when all you had to do was be on the right side of the tee time draw.

An article in this month's Links magazine explains why Pebble looks like it does. The USGA has decided that the U.S. Open and ALL U.S. golf courses should start playing hard and fast, brown not green, citing the current economic situation and ballooning maintenance costs. The 2014 U.S. open at Pinehurst will look VERY similar!! They have ALREADY started taking out the rough and replacing with fescue grass and love grass.... The USGA seemingly wants our U.S. courses to take-on a more traditional look similar to their European counterparts where funding is lower and courses are harder, faster and brown(er)...
I don't know if I personally agree, but that's what's going on....

Fact is, it is not just the USGA. Experienced golfers who have traveled about and played the great courses of the world realize that the game of golf is so much more fun and interesting when the ground that the course is built upon can be utilized. Our game in America has de-evolved into a strictly aerial game due to soft conditions and narrow, tree-lined fairways lined with thick rough and has turned the game into a very one dimensional experience. I blame it mostly on televised tournament golf where every venue wants to look perfectly green on TV. And that trickles down to the members and patrons who want their courses to look like the ones on TV. Over a period of decades, this is what we have become used to.
[b]Perfect example is this thread. People sitting on their couch and watching the TV and making some of the stupidest comments about the conditions of the greens even though they have not EVER set foot on or rolled a putt on the greens at Pebble Beach.[/b]
Once you experience the joys of a firm/fast playing surface, most especially a natural links environment where the ball can bounce and roll and the natural terrain comes into play and influences shotmaking, you will become a convert and perhaps you will join the evangelists in bringing a return of the game as it is meant to be played.
It's not all about funding, however, that is a good way to sell it. There is something to be said about conserving resources.
I will say that the USGA has to learn that some of the greens on the classic courses have too much contour for modern speeds of 12+. The reaction is to want to flatten the greens whereas perhaps they should be maintaining them at a more appropriate speed. It will be interesting to see what happens at Chambers Bay.

Comments like this don't do much in the way of changing people's minds. Neither does slapping a label on them, i.e. "Augusta Syndrome," which connotes disease. This is the problem with a lot of the green movement's language. The points are often quite good, but the language is absolutist, no room for disagreement, we MUST do X and not Y, we can never go back to the old (inferior) ways of thinking/doing/living. And it's also dismissive of very valid arguments that would seem to indicate that people ought to be left to decide for themselves what sort of putting surface (for example) their local golf courses offer them. Poa is sometimes bumpy and unpredictable, to the extent that it can no longer be called a green. Sunday afternoon bore that out, but we're still going to have to hear what bad people we are if we prefer bent. 152ee80cbc
