A budding golf league is bringing city-based golf franchises to San Diego and other American cities.
Why it matters: Grass League, a self-proclaimed "high-stakes" par-3 golf organization, is trying to make fast-paced, team golf mainstream.
Part of that effort involves the creation of the San Diego Munis.
The latest: The 11-franchise league recently received $2.75 million in funding to cover the cost of organizing live events and hiring a commissioner, among other things.
How it works: Each franchise is eligible to field a certain number of two-player teams at each Grass League event.
Anyone over the age of 18 can be on a team, regardless of whether they're a professional.
