“We were on the sixth hole [at Pebble Beach], which is a long par 5 and it goes up a big hill and the ocean is on the right, and the fairway kind of falls off to the right. Most of us golfers are little slicers anyways, so lot of balls end up over there—in or by the ocean,” Belichick said. “So there we are, playing in a pro-am tournament, where, as an amateur if you hit a bad shot you don’t really worry about it, you play the pro’s ball anyways, that’s what you have him for. There’s not a ton of pressure on the amateurs because you have a good player with you who probably is going to make a par on almost every hole and birdie a few.
