Pebble Beach is a mecca for golf lovers – including Burrito Express co-owners and brothers Angel and Mark Marin, and Angel’s son Crew. Upon discovering their love for Pebble Beach, they concocted a contest in which one lucky winner will join them on dream trip to play three one-of-a-kind courses in iconic Pebble Beach this summer.   The “Tee Off for Pebble Beach Extravaganza” giveaway by Burrito Express, sponsored by Whirlwind Golf Course and the Doug Franz Unplugged podcast, began on social media with a call for golf enthusiasts who want to join the Marin brothers for this “most-expenses paid” trip. With incredible demand, the Marins found it difficult to choose a winner so they decided to host a golf-off! They then partnered with Whirlwind Golf Course and the Doug Franz Unplugged podcast, and developed a tournament which will take place on Tuesday, June 4, at Whirlwind Golf Club. During this event, the final eight contestants will play a round to determine the winner.   “This all started because we went to Pebble Beach, fell in love with it and wanted to figure out a way to keep going back – but we needed a fourth player,” Angel said in regard to the impetus for the contest. “We decided to do a giveaway to take one of our customers. We’ve met so many cool people through this experience that it’s hard to just pick one. So now we’re having a competition with the final eight to narrow it down.”   The winner of The Tee Off for Pebble Beach Extravaganza will receive the opportunity to play three courses in Pebble Beach ‑ Pebble Beach Golf Links, Spyglass Hill Golf Course and The Links at Spanish Bay ‑ during the experience from Sunday, July 14 through Wednesday, July 17. The winner will play as the fourth member of the Marin’s golf foursome along with Angel, Crew and Mark.   The Marin brothers state the giveaway has no red tape. Most of the trip’s expenses will be paid by the Marin family including flights, tee times and accommodations – the winner will only need to cover their food costs during the trip. The approximate value of the giveaway is between $8,000 and $10,000.   “We love giving back and we believe the more successful we become, the more we can do for our community and our customers,” Angel said. “This is just one fun way of doing that.”   On Tuesday, June 4, contestants will tee off at Whirlwind Golf Club to secure the coveted fourth spot in the foursome for the Tee Off for Pebble Beach Extravaganza. Families are encouraged to come cheer on their golfers. Angel, Crew and Mark as well as their families will all be in attendance, showing support and managing the event, which will be a net match tournament to ensure an even playing field. The Marins stress that this event is more about fun than talent.   “This isn’t about being a good golfer,” Angel said. Read more [...]
