Photo of the Day: Del Monte Golf Course

A few weeks back, Tina and I went to a conference at the Hyatt Regency Monterey (in Monterey, California), so naturally we stayed there (especially since there was a good discount rate for the conference attendees). The Hyatt Regency backs up against the Del Monte Golf Course (one of the courses run by the Pebble Beach Company). I was really excited when we got our room and it was a ground floor room (I hadn't told Tina that the rooms could potentially open up right onto the course which would be like having an amazingly expensive and well manicured lawn as your backyard). Unfortunately, our room was on the wrong side and faced the parking lot instead. It was a bit weird, the sliding door opened and they had chairs outside - but no divider separating you from the parking lot - you could walk in and out freely. When the sun started to set on the first evening I went out to the other side of the building and snapped this shot.
