We may not know the answer to that question but we do know that if a tree falls on a golf course it sure does make a sound, especially when it is the famous 40-foot tall cypress tree on the North Course at Torrey Pines.

The tree was located behind the par-3 sixth hole that offers beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean. City golf manager Jon Maddern says the wind reached 58 miles per hour during the storm.

Maddern says arborists will determine how to treat the tree. The damage begins about 12 feet from the base.

Two Illinois men were arrested and held on $1 million dollar bond for running a scheme involving personalized golf balls.

35-year old Marco Maggiore and 34-year old Lloyd Morris were charged with money laundering, mail and computer fraud and theft.

Police investigators said Maggiore and Morris conned dozens of businesses and charities into paying for golf balls to be inscribed with their logos, and never delivered any balls.

The pairs’ featured produce was inscribed Titleist Pro V1 balls for less than a third of their normal cost.
