Petco Park To Be Converted To 9-Hole Par-3 Course
/...for a few days anyway.
An unbylined AP story on the San Diego Padres offering fans a chance to play to Petco Park's field with Callaway clubs over the course of a November weekend.
From the AP story:
The Links at Petco Park will begin on a putting green in the home dugout. Golfers will move to the ballpark's upper deck for Nos. 2-5, where they will hit shots onto the field from various locations. The sixth will tee off on the field near the Western Metal Supply Co. building in the left field corner before golfers move to the batter's eye in center field for No. 7. The eighth hole will be a putting green in the bullpen. The final hole will be on the roof of the Western Metal Supply Co. Building.
**Apparently people really want to hit wedge shots in their favorite ballpark. The event sold out by 5 pm and has now added November 4th to accomodate more Padre fans.
