No more real golf Let's all just scratch Valderrama off our scorecards, shall we? As the recent WGC American Express Championship proved, it's not a great golf course. The 17th hole, where balls keep rolling off the green into the lake, is a travesty. That green really does belong on a miniature-golf course... |

The Poor Man's Pebble Beach I was at the Pacific Grove municipal course on Monday, which is nothing like teeing it up at Pebble Beach. Luckily, the price is about $300 lighter, and America's most fun muni (par-70, 5,732 yards from the back tees) is known as the Poor Man's Pebble Beach... |
