Baldwin stumbles across great Pa. deals: Also, Steelers 2-0

The Cheap Bastard loves Pittsburgh. First of all, the Steelers play there. Second, it’s a town that survived losing its blue-collar economy and re-invented itself as a white-collar town. And finally, the Steelers play there.

So when Chris Balding, I mean, Chris Baldwin, spent some time 30 miles north of Pittsburgh in beautiful Butler County, I was understandably concerned that he’d bring both myself and my beloved Steelers some bad mojo.

On the contrary, however. Somehow Baldwin managed to slip through a time zone and find some of the cheapest golf you can find. Baldwin actually gloated about this in his blog a while back, but I’m pretty sure people were so surprised that he wasn’t writing about Michelle Wie that it just didn’t connect.

Baldwin’s coming out with several stories about Butler County golfing that will give you an idea of the values and quality of the 20-some courses there. The Bastard’s advice? Try Dubbs Dred. For $15 you can play 18, with cart.

Butler County is chock full of swell courses at unbelievable prices. And for this, I can only say: Go Steelers!!!!!!
