T’S A COOL JULY MORNING

at San Francisco’s Lincoln

Park Golf Course, and I’m

breezing through my

round, unburdened by

swing thoughts. A Mark

Twain quote is what I’m

dwelling on instead. Not

his cheeky crack about

a good walk, spoiled, or his pithy

reminiscence of a chilly summer

spent. The line I have in mind

pertains to real estate investment.

“Buy land,” Twain recommended.

“They’re not making it anymore.”

Even if they were, I’d need to cash

in the Apple stock I wish I owned to

purchase any plot in San Francisco,

much less the primo site where

Lincoln sits today. I still remember

the first time I saw it, 30 years ago,

fresh out of a college, as a lost kid

DECIDEDLY ANALOG MUNIS

rough, but to local golfers and aficionados of

landmark views, Lincoln Park rocks.
