Buster Posey and Matt Cain to golf at this winter's Pro-Am Tournament in Pebble Beach

Posey and Cain to golf in Pebble Beach Pro-Am Tourney

Buster Posey has decided to test out his golf swing at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am when the PGA Tour heads to Northern California in February. And he'll be joining a teammate who knows the course pretty well: Matt Cain.

Cain will be making his fifth consecutive appearance at the tournament, having made the cut in 2011 and '12. He's an avid enough golfer to get his very own golfing bobblehead: 

While this is Posey's first appearance at the tourney, he should be able to handle himself pretty well. After all, Posey has golfed at Augusta National. And they don't let guys who average a 148 on the course. (I average a 148, by the way.)
