Saturday was Bobby Jones' birthday. The USGA posted some images of the amateur golfing great.

2018 Genesis Open Preview, Instagram Style: Tiger, Wahlberg, Cubs, Sugar Ray, Wesley, Champ, Thomas, Bell, Tirico
/An intentionally lively pro-am atmosphere had the Genesis Open beginning to feel like the old L.A. Open days, with some star power adding a needed jolt following the event’s comatose Northern Trust/Championship Management years.
So to set things up, an all-Instagram post with a few helpful links for you dinosaurs who like to read!
Tiger and Mark Wahlberg teed up in the pro-am. The Forecaddie notes Marky Mark’s antics that included, yes, AirPods the whole way. Golfweek's Eamon Lynch on Woods’s final preparations that included some socializing and another driver tweak. Tiger Tracker, who went for seconds today in the media lunch room, sums up everything he saw.
Tiger wowed the little guys who came out to watch, including Jaden Soong, a fellow Dodger fan and sweet swinger of the club.
Wesley Bryan teed it up with Sugar Ray Leonard.
Sifford Exemptee Cameron Champ took delivery of a Trackman, hopefully one with extra CPU for his swing speed. Check out slide two for some big numbers, if that’s your thing.
I never talked to more players who put the 10th hole down as goofy instead of architecturally interesting. The old photo/new photo comparison I posted on Instagram offers clues to some of the issues, but not all.
And with thoughts of 1992 always on minds when Tiger plays Riviera, how about this cool Sportscenter with Mike Tirico setting up the piece as he’s hosting the Winter Olympics for NBC this week?
Instagram: Some Golfers Age More Gracefully Than Others
/Gary Player is still tinkering with this swing and some Rory McIlroy-inspired posture looks pretty strong.
Jack Nicklaus tests a putter and some sock style that works at certain clubs in Australia and Bermuda.
And then there's Greg Norman.
Sunday Instagram, Special Pebble Beach Edition: Potter Wins, Faldo's Ace, Fitzgerald's Pro-Am Win, Bryson At Cypress
/Ted Potter Jr. not only beat the world’s best player, a former No. 1 and a Hall of Famer. Even better, he did it during a round that bogged down badly at the end, providing more time to take in the views and terrible places his golf ball could go.
Jason Day took an interesting path to par at Pebble Beach’s 18th. His emotional post-round interview helped make up for an oddly dull final round given the many interesting contenders.
Nick Faldo’s ace at the 7th, Nantz National Golf Links, has gone viral. As it should!
Kevin Streelman and Larry Fitzgerald won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am at -29. Fitzgerald certainly took advantage of his 13 handicap in the grand tradition of other former winners.
Bryson DeChambeau posted a stellar shot of Cypress Point's 15th.
Instagram: Larry The Cable Guy, Karrinyup, Snow In France, Nantz And The Danger Of Recovery Shots
/Larry The Cable Guy and Colt Ford appropriately broke in the silly new flower bed on Pebble Beach's 8th.

/Luke Donald played the 16th at Cypress Point. Some of his peers heckled him in the comment section.
Ben Hogan tees off on Pebble Beach’s 18th during the Crosby. Guess he wasn’t bothered by people getting too close or standing in the landing area.
Floral prints apparently are the new...stripes? There's a sense they'll be big in the golf shirt world in 2018. Consider yourself more than adequately warned.
Mathias Schjoelberg shows off the strongest hands in golf again, and this time holes out.
Good Day Of Golf On Instagram: Pebble, Shepard, Braid, Carnoustie With Snow And Perth's Tee Markers
/We’re going to see plenty of daytime Pebble Beach this week given the stunning weather, so I’m glad the PGA Tour posted a DJ Piehowski nighttime image from 2016 showing the 7th green.
Driving range bags at Bear's Club note your major wins and if you don’t have a Grand Slam trophy? You still get our name, your ball preference and your place next to the big winners.
Carnoustie got a nice dusting of snow. Hopefully no dustings of fertilizers for this year’s hosting of The Open Championship.
On February 6, 1971, Alan Shepard hit a golf ball on the moon with a specially made club that is on display at the USGA Museum. Look at the thought that went into this contraption!
February 6th was also James Braid’s birthday…in 1870. Second from the right. Five-time winner of The Open.
There should be extra stiff fines for any European Tour player who takes out his rage on this week’s ISPS Handa tee markers.
A Few Instagrams As Pebble Beach Week Kicks Off, 2-5-18
/The weather forecast is sublime for this week’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Apologies to those hoping America’s elite got rained on all week.
For reasons unclear, there is a sizable gold-brick of a flower bed off the 8th tee at Pebble Beach. Maybe it’s a placeholder for the restoration of Chandler Egan’s imitation sand dunes? Natural, it does not look.
Lee Westwood photographed one of the world’s most venomous snakes, a King Brown, when it appeared on the Lake Karrinyup CC range where he’s getting ready for the European Tour’s ISPS Hander World Super 6 in Perth.
For those still suffering a Super Bowl hangover, The Onion addresses the difficult conversation many football fathers are having with their sons...about what it means to control the ball long enough to be deemed a runner.
