Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres made an agreement with the Callaway golf company and will be hosting a nine-hole event for any golfer that signs up, although there are limited spots as it was first come, first serve. 1,500 people will hit the links starting on Thursday and golf in a baseball stadium. Padres President and CEO responded, "I was surprised a little (at the turnout), but I thought it would be popular -- that people would dig the novelty of it, but I think what people are going to be surprised at is it's not something you want to do once. We hope to do this every year. It's cool to play. It's challenging golf, you're taking full swings, the conditions out here, there's wind, there's sand traps, there's elements". The holes start in the upper decks of the stadiums and the actual holes are located on the field. Here's a look at the course map:
