At 8:30 a.m. Monday, beachcombers spotted what looked like two pipe bombs laying at the base of the sea wall beneath the 9th green. Shane Bacon and Jay Busbee of Yahoo! Sports have a great diagram and the Bay City/Mercury News have updates.
From the article:
“A Monterey County bomb squad was dispatched Sunday morning to Pebble Beach Golf Links, where an apparent explosive device was found near the golf course, according to the sheriff’s office.
At around 8:30 a.m., a beachcomber reported spotting a suspicious device that looked like two pipe bombs taped together at the base of a 40-foot cliff near the 9th hole at Pebble Beach, according to the sheriff’s office.
The Monterey County sheriff’s bomb squad went to the scene, examined the device and rendered it safe.”
The incident remains under investigation. My best guess is eco-terrorists, those nut jobs who think violence is an answer. What kind of dips%$t wants to blow up a golf course? When they catch him/her, hang ’em high!
On second thought, hanging is too good for them.
