The words "golf" and "urban" have never been and never will be a good combination. The same goes for "ghetto sweatervest" and "thug croquet."

Sometimes, multiple Gawker Stalker sightings create mosaic portraits of celebrities in their seemingly unobserved moments. We've got one better, today: an operative working at a Derek Jeter-frequented Starbucks in Tampa, who sees girlfriend Minka Kelly as the once-benevolent Jeter's downfall.
