The defendant golf course is Tour 18, in Houston, Texas. They set out to replicate the 18 most challenging holes in golfdom. The plaintiff is Pebble Beach, who is claiming copyright violation. The article on this matter appeared in an american golf magazine. If you want, I'll mail you a copy of the article, which a colleague of mine, a known golf writer, is providing. Furnish me a mailing address, if you'd like it. LT
