JTOG Day 9: Play TPC Four Seasons Las Colinas

October 19, 2013 By admin

Byron Nelson’s golf ball says it all—Player, Teacher, Humanitarian…

So I am at the the Four Seasons Resort & Club Dallas staying in a villa overlooking the 18th green searching for the spirit of Byron Nelson. What should I do? Be like Byron and play the TPC Four Seasons Las Colinas, the host of AT&T Byron Nelson Championship since 1983, over thirty years of championship golf. Not only play the course but play it my friend Tom Horan who has the same kindred spirit of golf, its traditions and history that I do.

CLICK here for a Video Interview with Tom Horan, host of “Speaking of Golf” on the 17th tee at TPC Four Seasons Las Colinas.

With my buddy Tom Horan basking in the sunlight of Byron Nelson at TPC Four Seasons Las Colinas.

The weather, the golf course and the friendship could not have been any better to create a memorable day on the golf course. Byron is right there if you want to go visit him. The oversized statue comes alive with his giving spirit. As you play each hole you are reminded of his presence and great deeds with markers on each tee. See below for the three pictures of the 1st, 17th and 18th that says it all about the man beyond the competitive golf records.

Truly his legend and his spirit live on. How will connecting with Byron Nelson at the Four Seasons Resort & Club Dallas impact the search for the “Olympic Spirit of Golf?” I am thinking that Mr. Nelson brings the aspect of being free of one’s self, one’s ego to be of support and service to others. Byron certainly did this with his association with the Salesmanship Club of Dallas. Lord Byron’s work for the kids continues…

My journey would be continuing after my stay in Nelson Paradise. I have to admit I was trying to figure out how to stay for all four seasons at the Four Seasons Resort & Club Dallas!

I am looking for 100 new friends in the next 100 days to make a $100 donation (or any amount that you are able to make) to The First Tee. Each day I will be reliving the original “Journey to Olympic Golf” and hope to find a new friend in golf. Is that you? Please join me in giving back to the game we all love.

Indeed it does…

Pretty impressive when you think that the PGA TOUR is the No. 1 charitable fundraiser when it comes to professional sports.

Absolutely, positively, without a doubt, Byron Nelson was an Olympic-like Golfer and his spirit lives on forever!

JTOG Day 7: Visiting Hardscrabble CC with Jack Fleck

October 17, 2013 By admin

CLICK here for Video Interview of Jeremy Moe by Jack Fleck at Hardscrabble CC in Fort Smith, Arkansas.

With Jack Fleck and Jeremy Moe at Hardscrabble CC in Fort Smith, Arkansas.

Remember I am on a journey to search for the “Olympic Spirit of Golf,” something that has not been experienced in the last 112 years. The beginning of this interview of the Head Golf Professional Jeremy Moe at Hardscrabble CC by Jack Fleck was remarkable if you think about it in terms of revealing the internal makeup of a champion golfer. I put it right up there, on the 7th day of my travels, with the spirit of Bobby Jones in Atlanta, the Olympic Flag flying high at Glen Echo CC, and Dennis Berkholtz’s statement “once an Olympian, always an Olympian.”

Why so remarkable? Here is the 1955 U.S. Open Champion, nearly 60 years after beating Ben Hogan at the Olympic Club, a few weeks his of his 92nd birthday, taking the time to introduce me to his friend Jeremy Moe. Not only that but the way he did it—unscripted, and with excitement and gusto! Don’t you wish you can live to your 90s and be like that? I certainly do!

With Jack Fleck and his Olympic Gold Golf Medal. Mr. Fleck will always be an Olympic Golfer to me!

As far as the definition of the “Olympic Spirit of Golf,” somehow I need to tie in the Olympic Club and the sense of selflessness exhibited by Mr. Fleck. Established on May 6, 1860, three decades before the modern Olympic Games were resurrected in 1896, the Olympic Club is the oldest athletic club in the United States. The United States Golf Association recognizes the Olympic Club as one of the first 100 golf clubs established in the United States. That is an Olympic connection in my mind. Maybe Jack Fleck played in the spirit of the Olympics when he won there? When I gather all my thoughts and write about what the “Olympic Spirit of Golf” is I will include something about being outside of oneself, one’s ego and representing their country and sport without any sense of self-promotion or brand building. Thank you Jack Fleck!

Here is the beautiful 16 green with the 17th behind it at Hardscrabble CC, Jack’s home.

Mr. Fleck passed about five months after I visited with him in Fort Smith, Arkansas. I will always remember the warmth and the wonderful feeling of welcome I experienced as a guest in Jack and Carmen’s home. I missed seeing him and his friend Ed Tallach at the 2014 Masters and again this year.

Jack had so much respect and enthusiasm for life. i hope you live today like Jack lived yesterday… have a TROML Day today and please make a difference in the life of a young person…

JTOG Day 5: Playing Glen Echo CC with Hickories!

October 15, 2013 By admin

One of my best mashie shots ever, near kick in on the 9th hole for a deuce!

Boy, what a way to celebrate my birthday on October 15th! Playing hickory golf at Glen Echo CC where golf was last played in the Olympics in 1904. And to top that off the Golf Channel was there to film it and I nearly aced the par-3 ninth hole with my very first swing of the day!

When I woke up at the Union Station Hotel in downtown St. Louis the weather was awful, a dreary raining fall day. But as I drove out to the club in Torch (no I didn’t take the train like they did in 1904) the skies brightened up quite a bit. In reality the day that George Lyons won the Golf Olympic Gold Medal it rained a bit too. Glen Echo’s GM Rod Stewart took care of every detail.

With future movie stars Ron Cobb, Mike Leuken and Jim Storey. We were on the golf course most of the day, played little golf and had a lot of fun!

I was excited as the club to have the Golf Channel along for the day as we officially kicked off the “Journey to Olympic Golf.” After all the journey is all about following the spirit, tradition and history of the game of golf from being played in the Olympics in 1904 to 2016 when Olympic Golfers will tee it up in Rio de Janeiro. I wasn’t familiar at all with the programming side as I was with the live golf production so it was an interesting day of learning how they shoot these sort of features. Unfortunately what we learned, even though it was fun, is that there is a lot of repetition and time needed to get the exact takes desired. Between inside interviews in the clubhouse, lunch and the outside shots, club president Jim Storey and I were lucky to get nine holes in. I am not sure when or if the journey part of the day will be televised, I did see parts of the club history and an interview with Rod Stewart on the premier of the ‘In Play with Jimmy Robert’ show.

The Olympic Rings are at home at Glen Echo CC and so was I!

I did a lot of videotaping myself and feel like I captured the Spirit of Olympic Golf from that era. My videos and video editing were quite premature early on the journey and that is not to say they are perfect now. My reward for working with the Golf Channel was a pair of Go-Pro cameras and a pair of external hard drives to mount on the dash of Torch. As you will see in the weeks ahead they captured some great moments going through borders (I filmed most everything), minor fender benders and even pulling over on the side of the road to let some young soccer players take a few swings with my golf clubs. Thank you Golf Channel!

Here are videos on the club, the golf course, interviews with GM Rob Stewart and Golf Course Superintendent Joe Wachter and long time members Bob Sido and Ernie Coe:

After the long day at Glen Echo, Jim Storey and I finished up as the sun went down. Changing our shoes in the locker room we decided to swap our shirts, his Glen Echo CC for my PLAYERS. Though sweaty, this shirt is one of my favorite memories of the ‘Journey to Olympic Golf.’

If these videos don’t capture the Spirit of Olympic Golf at Glenn Echo in 1904 that is carried on to today that I don’t know what would! Many thanks to Glenn Echo, The Golf Channel, the Union Station Hotel in St. Louis for such a wonderful start to my journey south to Olympic Golf in Brazil.

JTOG Day 3: Visiting East Lake, Playing Atlanta Athletic Club with Bobby Jones

October 13, 2013 By admin

If one is searching to define the “Olympic Spirit of Golf & Golfers” what better person and place to start with than Bobby Jones and his home, Atlanta? Dennis Berkholtz and I visited his grave site in the historic Oakland Cemetery and then went out to the Eastlake Golf Club where the young lad learned to play golf under the watchful eye of Stuart Maiden. I did an interesting video on the sense of Bobby Jones on the back lawn of the Eastlake Clubhouse that was unfortunately not properly recorded. No guarantee an Olympian knows how to operate a video camera!

We then drove over and played the Highlands Course at the Atlantic Athletic Club where Bobby moved with the club in 1967. I had been there for the PGA Championship two years earlier to see Keegan Bradley win his major debut in a playoff over Jason Dufner. I was also at Oak Hill CC outside Rochester, New York earlier in 2013 to see Dufner come back to win his own PGA. The Highlands Course was extraordinary and the greens a dream to putt on!

It was a short visit to Atlanta but very beneficial with both an Olympics and Spirit of Golf connection. I felt like I was off to a good start to combine the two and get a sense of the “Spirit of Olympic Golf” that has laid dormant on this earth for over a century.

Tomorrow, on Monday morning, I head northwest to St. Louis, a drive of 550 miles that will take a good 8 hours. I was invited to play Glen Echo CC, host club of Olympic Golf in 1904 and stay at the historic AAA Four-Diamond St. Louis Union Station – a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel for two nights. More on that in Days 4 & 5.

Little did I know that I would be getting a phone call on Monday morning with an offer I couldn’t refuse.

Ponte Vedra Inn & Club- The Ocean Course

October 8, 2013 By admin

Excerpt from The Golf Course Guide, a book published in 1950 by Anthony F. Merrill;

Every championship course has its famous hole and at Ponte Vedra it is the Island Ninth. Whether it is a good golf hole or not is a question, bit it is one of America’s most interesting. The green lies at the far end of a little island in a big lagoon, reached by bridges. The tee is on the mainland and the carry over water is not more than about 40 yards. In fact, the whole hole is only 150 yards, and the island is a decent-sized target. But the par is 3, the water magnetic, the green heavily trapped, and the hole itself is a scenic gem, most artfully designed to please the eye of a golfer and layman alike. Who cares how many of your best balls go into the lagoon? You do.

Brendan Punty writing for NJ.com,True New Jersey claims Baltusrol in Springfield, N.J. had the first island green, but it was a par-4 hole.

“When Baltusrol’s first 18-hole course was laid out near the turn of last century, the 10th hole was surrounded by a shallow moat — making it the first hole of its kind in the sport. The par-4, 330-yard downhill hole was one of the most photographed holes of the day…”

Ode to Pebble Beach, the One and Only…

September 26, 2013 By admin

Above Stillwater Cove on 4th fairway.

Oh for the love of golf when did our beloved Pebble Beach come into our consciousness?

Was it through the television box as a youngster?

Nicklaus’ one-iron on the 17^th the ball taking a bounce before striking the

flagstick.

Watson’s heroic chip-in at the same 17^th with a finger point and prance around the green.

Was it even earlier through the eyes of Bobby Jones who’s quick exit in the first round of the 1929 U.S. Amateur brought a charm to the east in Augusta National via Cypress Point and Alistair MacKenzie?

How I so loved our Pebble Beach whence my eyes first saw her from the beach at Carmel after a road trip from Southern California to visit friends in the area?

Above the 7th green.

A walk onto the grounds and a visit to the Pebble Beach signed pro shop and first tee. A picture taken and savored for nearly thirty years.

The reality of my life in the early 1980s having to opt for Spyglass at $25 unable to afford a lovely but relatively expensive Pebble Beach at $75.

All these adult golfer years admiring her on the television amongst the spectacular view of the cliffs overlooking Stillwater Cove. The fun and laughter of the celebrity pro-am as if to witness the near end of winter back east just a few months before the spring flowers of Augusta.

Payne Stewart and his love for Pebble Beach frolicking on the wall along the 18^th fairway.

A dream to play my beloved Pebble Beach one day always in my mind.

Then as fate would have it I came close to her, closer than one could ever be without putting a peg into her sacred ground.

Five years of being at the pro-am for the entire week witness a quaternary of rounds each year save Dustin Johnson’s three rounder in 2009. Bill Murray’s Cinderella story in all its beauty. Lots of celebrity and amateur interviews some with tales of love and romance down on the 7^th green.

Another seven rounds watching the world’s best compete in the 2011 United States Open including GMac’s march to victory down the 18^th fairway.

For my love was to be a love admired from afar never to have taken a divot from the turf of my beloved Pebble Beach. Much like my pilgrimage to the Old Course at St. Andrews in the spring of 2000 playing from domed plastic tees to save the turf in preparation of what became the fourth major of Tiger’s quest to surpass Jack’s 18. I never touch either of these beauties with a club head until an invitation to play came after this year’s pro-am.

The home hole… I felt like I was home for sure…

First out in the early morning walking merrily along the fairways of my cherished Pebble Beach. Ah what a grand experience it was. Like Bubba I never dreamt that far thinking I would love her from afar and never bring my imperfect game to her perfection.

I knew her closely and deeply from the practice putting green to the third hole which brought me towards the water with a look at the famous 17^th before playing along the cliffs for the next seven holes. Then taking the high view for another five holes before the 16^th brought me closer to the water once again to the crossroads I had known before.

It would be a beautiful ending to a lovely day with a hybrid to near perfection to Sunday’s hole though the fifteen footer did not drop into the target of the day. A picture off the 18^th tee with clubs on shoulder to remind this humble golfer of the beloved Pebble Beach that I was there, that I lived the dream of walking her fairways, hitting and chasing that little white ball amidst the green tufted cliffs. The walk home up the 18^th to another dream in my golfing life fulfilled.

My beloved Pebble Beach always in my consciousness and now in my golfing heart and soul.

World Record 179,022 at TPC Scottsdale in 2013 WMPO!

February 18, 2013 By admin

The number 179,022 will always be etched in my mind. That’s how many people came out to watch the Waste Management Phoenix Open on Saturday this year. On Saturday, one day alone. It was a record for the tournament and in the history of golf as far as anyone knows.

If you explore the Guinness World Record website there are 82 results for ‘golf’ but no category for the ‘most people to watch a single-day golf event in person.’ There are records for the ‘largest one-day golf tournament,’ the ‘largest golf facility,’ and the ‘most people playing golf walking on a single golf course in 24 hours.’ But none for the largest gallery ever to watch golf in person.

Legendary Thunderbird Bob Wasser can be found on the 16th tee every year at the WMPO. Great guy!

Of course, there is a strong community charity consciousness in the Phoenix-Scottsdale metropolis. The Thunderbirds, hosts of the WMPO, are a charitable organization that has been around since 1937. There is a cadre of sales and marketing professionals associated with TPC Scottsdale golf course, the Waste Management Phoenix Open golf tournament and the PGA TOUR. The tournament predates even The Masters with its roots in the 1932 Arizona Open and has been contested 74 times since then. Over 80 million dollars has been donated to Arizona charities with 5.5 million coming in 2012 alone.

These folks know what they are doing leveraging a lot of history and tradition. But still, 179,022 golf spectators on one golf course on one day! More than America’s other top sports- baseball, basketball and football. More than a record 115,300 at the Dodgers-Red Sox game in L.A. in 2008; more than a record 108,713 at the N.B.A. All-Star game in Dallas in 2010 and certainly more than can fit in any football stadium in America.

The numbers speak for themselves… 179,022 on Saturday and more than $80 million to charity!

There was never a doubt watching Phil Mickelson open with a 60 this year, then adding rounds of 65-64-67 to win by four strokes for a record-tying third time (with Mark Calcavecchia, Gene Littler and Arnold Palmer). Thursday’s attendance was 79,532, Friday’s at 121,901 with Saturday the peak at 179,022—a total of 525,821 for the week! Amazing!

Other than the golf, the most amazing sight of the week was to stand on a hillside off to the right of the 18^th green and see the people flood in beneath an overpass coming from the main entrance. Seas of people, imagine the sidewalks of Manhattan at lunch hour and the entire width of 5^th Avenue as well. Non-stop for as long as you wanted to watch.

Where do these people go on an 18-hole golf course that has ample room, certainly no Merion but nonetheless there are 179,022 people! The hospitality areas surrounding the 17^th and 18^th holes are legendary and swallow up a big chunk of the masses. Then there is the Stadium in golf encompassing the par-3 16^th hole. Nearly 20,000 right there.

Coming back to play the Stadium Course at TPC Scottsdale a few weeks after the tournament on the way to the WGC Accenture Match Play, the wintery wonderland we now know as Dove Mountain, was a real treat. Gone were the 179,022 Saturday patrons yet the majority of the Stadium on the 17^th remained.

TPC Scottsdale is an awesome golf course to play in its own right. A Tom Weiskopf & Jay Morrish design this golf course is fun to play. While it looks hard but plays easier don’t expect to go to a record low 29-under par like Phil did this year or Mark Calcavecchia did in 2001. If you knew what I knew and an opportunity to play TPC Scottsdale comes along you would do what I did. Love Weiskopf’s thinking and his golf design talents! Remember he did win a British Open though his four runner-up finishes at the Masters and comments on Jack Nicklaus do come to mind.

Another piece of golfing history at TPC Scottsdale. The rock or loose impediment that the gallery moved for Tiger Woods in the 1999 WMPO.

My favorite hole is the short par-4 17^th which is 332 yards from the tips and only 254 yards from the whites. I hope you are “playing it forward” like I am these days and having a ton of fun on the golf course. Like Phil I hit it way left off the tee, so far left it stayed dry. Unlike Phil I pitched it up onto the green and 3-putted for bogey. I didn’t shoot 60, in fact I didn’t even shoot 1-under par on any hole. I guess I was too excited from my experience at the tournament. For me on that day the golf course looked hard and played hard too.

It was still cool to tee it up on the 16^th with most of the Stadium still surrounding the hole. I thought I could imagine what it would be like doing so during the tournament but honestly I can’t say that I could. It did lead to one charity fund-raising idea. On Saturday let the biggest charity donors tee it up and hit tee shots on the 17^th Stadium hole when time allows between the professionals. There is trouble on the water-logged par-5 15^th and sometimes there is a gap in play. What a thrill, what a rush it would be. Sort of a modern day coliseum swing and make contact or be consumed by the thirsty crowd. Even if they can get the club back I doubt anyone will hit it on or even close to the green. TPC and the PGA TOUR new ultimate Stadium Golf experience all for charity!

Even the chairs are BIG at the WMPO!

There were only 22 people, including Bobby Jones, who saw Gene Sarazen’s double eagle on the par-5 15^th in the 1935 Masters. Quite a few more saw Tiger Woods’ ace on the 16^th at TPC Scottsdale in 1997. About 20,000 of the 179,022 present saw James Hahn double-bogey the 16^th on Saturday. But 20,000 saw him birdie it on Sunday and then dance his way off the green ‘Gangnam Style.’ What excitement at TPC Scottsdale!

I have to say I am a big proponent of TPC Sawgrass as the ‘Crown Jewel’ TPC Network of 30 prestigious courses. I live nearby, it is the ‘Home of THE PLAYERS Championship’ and we all know there are four majors but only one PLAYERS. Tiger Woods style this year. But I have to say that maybe TPC Scottsdale, ‘Home of the Largest Galleries in Golf’ is the ‘Western Crown Jewel’ of the TPC Network.

Play it if you can, soon!

By the way, as far as Guinness records go… the largest one day golf tournament consisted of 1,562 participants at the Mission Hills Golf Club in Shenzhen, China, on June 25^th, 2010, which is also the largest golf facility with twelve 18-hole courses. The greatest number of walking golfers to complete a full round on the same course within 24 hours is 632 and was achieved by The First Tee of Ireland, at Faithlegg Golf Club in Waterford, Ireland in June 2009.

But the number 179,022 will stick in my mind until at least next year. Who knows, maybe 200,000 plus at the 2014 Waste Management Phoenix Open?
