Merfeld: Latest move makes AT&T even more attractive

Full story: Monterey County Herald

Think of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am's decision to slim its field from 180 pros to 156 like the New York Yankees signing 37-year-old starter Andy Pettite last off-season. Sure, all the headlines were about the Yankees spending $423.5 million on the contracts of Mark Teixeira, CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnett.

I am especially disconcerted and dismayed that MPCC is being added to the tournament. This club is known for its historic discrimination of disallowing non-whites from playing on the course. In fact, my Chinese co-worker was stopped at the front door when meeting a business client at the club house one day, and told to enter at the BACK door. And one of our black friends was once told he could not play there, though the reason was fuzzy, at best. However, the other 3 males in their foursome were greeted with warm welcomes. You guessed it - they were white. I hope Tiger Woods declines to play in this tournament in protest of adding a course with such a vile reputation. If other non-white players were to join him, even better. With the absence of Tiger Woods alone, the tournament would lose a significant amount of interest and revenue, as has been proven in other Tiger-less events.
