For me it was my 5th time performing a table tennis exhibition at Pebble Beach and for my son Austin his 3rd. Truly one of the most stunning settings for a finishing round of golf, Pebble Beach offers more than just good looks. The staff are wonderfully trained and have the pleasure of serving up some of the finest food in the world. And as for the management, Manager “Steffan” conveys how he operates a World Class restaurant in a World Class setting.  The Ping Pong Gods must have been with us all of these presentations as there was no wind to battle during our evening three hour presentation, outside beside the 18th hole on Monterey Bay .  The Corporate outing allowed for many table tennis enthusiasts to take a shot at the title by beating 8 time US National Junior Champion Austin Preiss and his father Scott Preiss, a National Table Tennis Coach and Trainer from Colorado Springs. During the course of the evening guests were treated to a wide arrange of trick shots, comedy, and playing lessons. The secret to a great exhibition is to make sure that everyone leaves the party feeling like a winner. Each guests who took the challenge were treated with a brand new table tennis paddle provided by Newgy Industries of Gallatin, TN and also an autographed photo of Scott and Austin provided by the Sports Unlimited Talent Agency of Portland, OR.
