Old Grumpy Golfers

To some an injured person is something to stop and tend to, to others it’s just another hazard.

While Hughes told the 911 responder where they were and what had happened, Muller tried to keep the injured player’s partners calm and prevent them from moving him. Golf links staff member Nick Watson helped direct the paramedics to the injured player.

The course was busy that day, and Hughes recalls that other groups tried to play around the injured golfer.

“Other people just played through like it was nothing,” he said.

Muller remembers the men that he and Hughes were paired with decided to leave them and keep on playing.

“Yeah, that was a bit shocking,” Muller said.

It has looked busier than normal at nights on the ‘Row. Downtown P.G. is it’s normal ghost town.

An unusually busy Wednesday night in Monterey, and it’s all because of the AT&T Pro-Am. Several Central Coast businesses say the Pro-Am has brought much needed relief, but others say so far, the tournament hasn’t had much of an impact yet.

“Business on Cannery Row has improved tremendously. There’s a lot of foot traffic and people from all over are coming into town,” says Bakery Owner Deborah Hannas.

Pro-Am organizers told Action News Sports Director Dennis Lehnen that Woods had verbally committed to play in the tournament prior to his Nov. 27 car crash and subsequent revelations of extra marital affairs.

Woods, however, is taking an indefinite break from professional golf and there has been no word on when he plans to return.

The Pacific Grove City Council will consider Tuesday a new marketing plan for the city’s golf course in an effort to generate more revenue.

New marketing would include a revamped website, ad campaigns in other cities, and partnerships with local hotels. For regular players, the golf course doesn’t need much help.

Ollie says 48 fewer golfers is a positive step?

Welcome To The Crosby

The PGA Tour and the Monterey Peninsula Foundation announced that the tour’s Policy Board today approved the reduction of the professional field for the 2010 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am from 180 to 156 players. The amateur field consequently will be reduced by the same number.

“This is a positive step in our continual quest to improve the event,” states Ollie Nutt, president and CEO of the Monterey Peninsula Foundation. “With the return of Monterey Peninsula Country Club to the rotation and the celebration of AT&T’s 25th year as title sponsor, this will further strengthen the experience for contestants and spectators alike.”

$10,000 Goes To Study Of The Obvious

Pacific Grove has a golf course. It’s good.
There, save money and let some ‘consultant’ find another business to scam.

City Director of Management and Budget Jim Becklenberg said the number of rounds played at the course was down 13 percent in 2008, but a 13 percent increase in greens fees and restructuring of the golf course’s discount card system brought revenues up to the previous year’s level.

“Marketing is needed,” he said, “to boost (golf) rounds.”

The city will budget $10,000 to hire a professional golf marketing consultant, Frutchey said, and the committee members will be volunteers.

Pimping The Town To US Open Golf Fans

Welcome To The Crosby

A marketing plan is needed for Pacific Grove’s golf course to build up attendance and prepare for next summer’s U.S. Open tournament at Pebble Beach, the City Council agreed Wednesday.

Mayor pro tem Bill Kampe had previously proposed that the council appoint a five-member ad hoc committee for the task.

But newly appointed Councilman Robert Huitt suggested the job might better be handled by a professional marketer using city resources, including the Recreation Commission, the three golf clubs affiliated with the municipal course, tourist-oriented business groups and economic development groups.

Barely on the job and Huitt is spending like a sailor on shore leave.

Car Event Stalls Like A V12 In A Sand Trap – Needs Environmental Impact Report

Red Ferraris On Golf Course

When will Moammar turn to improving commerce for locals? Everything the guy does is to bring more transients to town. It’s time to boot the guy out. First cut I’d make.

Chamber of commerce president Moe Ammar said the main reason the show — which attracts hundreds of participants and thousands of spectators — is in jeopardy is that an environmental impact report might be needed before it can be permitted to move to P.G.

“With all the requirements with getting a permit,” Ammar said, “it’s highly unlikely the event will happen this year.”

In 2008, the city council said it didn’t want the Concorso to move to town because of concerns about golf-course damage from cars, traffic and other issues. But with the city’s economy hurting because of the global downturn, Ammar believes the council would change its mind.

The tournament should benefit from the return of the wildly popular Murray, who skipped the tournament last year. The former Saturday Night Live crew member has been a regular fan favorite since he started playing the AT&T in 1992.

Murray will have some company in the laughs department: funnymen George Lopez, Tom Dreesen, Kevin James and Ray Romano are in the field. The music world will be well represented by stars such as Justin Timberlake, Kenny G, Michael Bolton and Clay Walker. And celebrity hounds will have plenty of actors to choose from, including Andy Garcia, Greg Kinnear and Luke Wilson.
