Lyle Overbay is a new addition to the Pittsburgh Pirates, but he's already dabbled in Florida's rich pastime - golf.

Overbay said he's played Waterlefe Golf & River Club.

"The first time you play it, there's challenges (you can't see)," he said.

Overbay said playing the course in East Manatee County again should help, in order to get used to where to hit his shots.
