91-Year Old Hosts Party of the Day at AT&T Pro-Am

Posted: Updated:

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. -- Ione Miller is 91 years young and knows how to party.

"This afternoon we're going to have a Mexican taco wagon, and other food. Just a big party," said Miller. 

Miller has lived along the 18th green at the Pebble Beach Golf Course for 30 years and every year hosts a party the last day of the AT&T Pro-Am. Miller even dresses for the part by wearing a hat which replicates the 18th hole, with golf balls hanging on the side.

"I've been wearing it everyday," said Miller. 

The party had your typical drinks, food and fun. But inside, there was a special treat for all of Miller's guests. Not one, but two Giants World Series trophies.

"They slept at my daughter's house because someone has to guard the trophies all night long so they're never left alone," said Miller.

Miller's grandson worked for the Giants and now works for the Major League Baseball, so she's got the hook up for her parties.

It didn't take long for the trophies to catch the eye of anyone who walked by the house.

"This is a million dollar seat," said Ben Guild, who attended the party.

While those that live along the Pebble Beach Golf Course have the luxury of watching the tournament right outside their backyards, spectators told Central Coast News, there's nothing like watching the game up close and personal.

"I don't think you can get much closer than this, or much better seats than this," said Karen Beeson, who was watching the tournament from the stands on the 18th hole.

This was Beeson's first time at the Pro-Am and she enjoyed the free view from the stands. While Beeson was okay there, you could tell by the look of Giant's fans, that the real seats, were in Miller's backyard. 

"She knows how to throw the best parties," said Guild.
