So Fred is cooling out on the VIP deck at the AT&T, a tournament rich in tradition. It was first put on in 1937; Bing Crosby hosted the Championship at Rancho Sante Fe, California. Sam Snead won the tournament that year – first place check: 500 buckaroonis. At Pebble since 1947, celebs and pros play together in this highly-touted Pro-Am. From Huey Lewis to Ray Romano to Don Cheadle. From Jon Daly to Greg Norman to Phil Mickelson to Tiger [Nope, not here, hasn’t been for the past 5 years] - kinda bummed. Bill Murray, a mainstay at this event, is in Ireland filming for a video game; Ghostbusters. In the video game, you’ll play a new recruit in Ghostbusters International [GBI], and just as you get started with GBI an ancient evil descends upon NYC and a few familiar faces show as back up [says IMDB]. Bill got to protect the franchise! Game sounds lame. Anyway, more to come each day on the unfolding of this historic tournament.
