...their clubs at home, get their kicks instead by watching the world's top pros make fools of themselves in the $100,000 Bing Crosby championship. Most of the spectators cluster around the 17th and 18th holes, where for 752 yds. there is nothing on the left but surf, sand, rocks and Hawaii-a 2,410-mile wood shot away. The smart ones bring gunny sacks and hang out in a cove, where balls hit into the sea are washed up by the tide...
