On Thursday at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, PGA Tour rookie Mark Hubbard — famously nicknamed "Homeless Hubbs" by his fellow golfers — shot a level par 72 at Pebble Beach. His longtime girlfriend Meghan McCurley was waiting greenside when, after her boyfriend tapped in for par, she had to be shown to a special message on the digital scorecard near the green.
The rest is history.
Mark Hubbard is apparently quite the old-fashioned gentleman; ESPN reports that Hubbard actually asked Meghan's father for permission to marry his daughter!
"Her mom had the idea when I asked her dad for permission. She just thought it would be cool to include golf, and we've been together for so long, I felt like I had to do something different than just take her out to dinner or something. So it just kind of all clicked."
bkuehn1952 says: Not a big fan of turning personal moments into a public event. "Hey, look at me!" Despite my grumbling, let's hope they have a great life together.

Torleif Sorenson says: I wish the best for Mark and Meghan. Too bad Mark missed the 36-hole cut at Pebble Beach, though...
