The "Quail Hollow" Wells Fargo Wachovia championship approaches

Used to be (last year) the "Wachovia Championship". But Wells Fargo balked post-takeover.

So, instead, it's the Quail Hollow blah blah blah... See this earlier post: The Quail Hollow Championship (in which I argued for Wachovia continuing it's named sponsorship, alas)

Seems even bankers can feign shame by re-naming things they own (and I'd be hiding under rocks too) and are frightened enough to remove any trace of their sponsorship of the thing, but it's unsettling when the media happily plays along: Mickelson To Play In Charlotte's Quail Hollow; Woods Yet To Decide

Check out the "Quail Hollow" website as well: http://www.quailhollowchampionship.com/
Any trace of Wachovia/Wells has been erased as vigorously as Cheney has erased his memory of torturing prisoners.

Thing is, Wachovia/Wells is still paying the tab for this puppy (oops, and taxpayers too!), but they'll go to great lengths for PR purposes to pretend otherwise....
