GOLFER TO PLAY 49 HOLES IN 48 STATES IN 15 DAYS

MANASQUAN, N.J. (Wireless Flash) -- A golfing glue salesman from New Jersey will be striking out on a unique mission next Tuesday: He wants to play 49 holes of golf in 48 states in 15 days. Mike Langella -- who has a 2-handicap -- will travel to 48 states and the District of Columbia and play one par-3 hole in each locale. By the time he completes the cross-country golf game in San Francisco, he will have traveled nearly 11,000 miles. Although golfing across America has been Langella's lifelong dream, his main reason for doing it is to raise money for macular degeneration, an eye problem that is causing his father to go blind.
