San Jose's bogeyman
MINIATURE GOLF COURSE MADE HOMELAND SECURITY WATCH LIST
Mercury News Mini-golfers, calm down and tee up -- Emerald Hills Golfland is off the feds' terrorist-target list.
Or is it?
Some time back, officials added the humble South San Jose theme park -- ``three acres, two mini golf courses, very challenging,'' says Golfland's VP Bob Kenney -- to their National Asset Database. Local officials, figuring plenty of other Silicon Valley sites were richer targets, burst out laughing when they saw it.
The terrorist-watchers at Homeland Security did not return several phone calls. And no one locally seems to know how Golfland got on the list to begin with.
