A much funnier newspaper correction

From Howard Kurtz’s Media Notes today:

From the Roswell, N.M., Daily Record: "The story regarding the Father's Day Invitational golf tournament on Page B1 contained an encounter with one 'Carl Spangler' whom the story reported had invented a new type of grass for golfing. . . . It came to the attention of management that the incident had not taken place and was in fact a scene from a movie. After discovering this, management immediately terminated the author."

Allegedly the grass is a hybrid. This is a cross, ah, of Bluegrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent, and Northern California Sensemilia.
