(Editor’s Note: Pricey round of gold for a muni course — even Torrey Pines. This appears to be an extension of the long rivalry between the cable industry and the telecommunications industry which, legislatively, came to a head with the passage of  AB 2987 in 2006 changing the way cable and phone companies, such as AT&T, compete. That competition now expands to the links. For more than a decade, AT&T has been the principal sponsor of the “Speaker’s Cup” at Pebble Beach. The communications giant took some heat in 2006 for feting then Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez. The Los Angeles Democrat was the author of AB 2987. The bill’s principal backer: AT&T. Let the Big Dog hunt!)
