Torrey Pines, host of the 2008 US Open Golf Tournament, recently received its complimentary 9-foot tower clock from Rolex.

The impressive Rolex clock was installed on a new concrete path between the putting greens in front of the Torrey Pines clubhouse. Currently, there are seasonal poinsettias in the surrounding planter. These poinsettias will most likely be replaced by more festive flowers during the June US Open golf tournament. 

In addition to the complimentary Rolex clock that Torrey Pines received for hosting the US Open, there will be a second clock that will be installed between the first tees of the North and South courses. Generally, each tournament host only receives one Rolex clock.

The green Rolex clock is a classic and legendary beauty. Its 2½-foot face lights up at night, and inscribed above and below it is “Torrey Pines” and “Est. 1957.” The clock will be maintained for life by Rolex.
Next time your on the putting green at Torrey Pines, be sure to pay your respects to the new landmark.
