Snatch The Pebble

PB's new owners

By Jill Duman

Thursday, February 27, 1992

In an atmosphere of Japan-bashing and "buy American" jingoism, it was easy to categorize the former Pebble Beach owner Minoru Isutani. He bought Pebble Beach for the ostentatious amount of $840 million. He was determined to sell private memberships to re-comp his debts. He didn't bother to meet the locals. In short, he was the bad guy.
