Many of us agree that 'golf is a good walk spoiled' but not for the reasons a group of environmental lobbyists in San Francisco do.  The Wild Equity Institute, the Center for Biological Diversity, the National Parks Conservation Association, the Surfrider Foundation, Sequoia Audubon, and Sierra Club have instead determined that the 90-year old Sharp Park Golf Course in Pacifica is endangering two species.

Wait, hasn't the golf course been there for 90 years?  Let it go.  That sort of common sense is why you don't work for Club Sierra...errrr, I mean Sierra Club.    If you've ever been to their offices you know how easy it is to make a mistake with the name.

90 years after its construction, the groups contend  the California red-legged frog and the San Francisco garter snake are at risk because of the golf course.   

San Francisco, likely confused they are being branded enemies of the environment, declined to comment on the case.
