Man dies when cart falls from cliff

Here's something a little out of the ordinary...

A 65-year-old golfer died Tuesday after his golf cart plunged 75 feet off a cliff and crashed into a road below, authorities said.

The man teed off with three friends on the second hole of the Pala Mesa Resort Golf Course in northern San Diego County at around 10 a.m. and then got into his cart.

The vehicle veered off the concrete pathway, traveled down a 25-foot embankment and went over the edge of a cliff, California Highway Patrol spokesman Tom Kerns said.

The recently retired real estate agent from Irvine was ejected shortly before the cart hit the road beneath the cliff and died on impact, Kerns said. His name was not immediately released.

No one else was involved in the crash.

Investigators will inspect the golf cart for mechanical failures, Kerns said.

AT&T steps up, again

The PGA TOUR and the Tiger Woods Foundation announced Wednesday that AT&T would be the title sponsor for Tiger's July 4th tour stop in Washington, DC. It's another in a long-line of TOUR sponsored events for the telecommunications company.

The AT&T National will take the place of The International, the stableford event held near Denver. Congressional Country Club is the most likely venue, at least for 2007 and 2008 (membership will vote soon on whether or not to host the event).

As for Tiger Woods, who will become the youngest tournament host, he said he wants to create a tournament that adds to the game of golf. "Not too many people are fortunate to have an opportunity like this," Woods said. "What Bobby Jones did for golf and starting the Masters, that won't be touched. As far as what Jack has done at the Memorial, or Arnold at Bay Hill or Mr. Nelson in Dallas, those have been true legends of the game. They made a tremendous impact on our sport.

I like that the July 4th event will be a tribute to the nation's birthday and a tribute to the troops fighting overseas. I will say, though, that it's too bad a truly unique event (The International) had to go by the wayside. It'd be nice to see the stableford format resurrected down the road.
