We have another “Mr. 59.”  PGA Tour veteran Paul Goydos shot that magical number, 59, today in the first round of the John Deere Classic.

Paul may have been one of the most unlikely candidates for this demonstration of shot making after 3 missed cuts and a withdrawal in the last 5      tournaments.  But he is now in the record books along with Al Geiberger, Chip Beck, David Duval, and Annika Sorenstam.

Congratulations Paul!

The details are still being worked on as I type this but I should have them confirmed by August 1, 2010.   As many of you know, Arizona is home for me and I can’t wait to get back to the “valley of the sun!”

I will certainly miss the relationships that were built here in Destin, all of my students and their families, and the ownership at Emerald Bay Golf Club.  But due to health reasons it is time for me to go home.

I look forward to seeing everyone in Arizona and if anyone needs anything please don’t hesitate to contact me!

The past two weeks on the PGA Tour have been filled with ups and downs!

First, Paul Goydos shots 59 and does NOT win the tournament!  Steve Stricker put on a scoring clinic at the 2010 John Deere Classic unlike we have ever seen through the first 54 holes and wound up winning that event for the second consecutive year!

Secondly, Louis Oosthuizen (WUHST-hy-zen) comes out of nowhere to win the 2010 British Open!  Who is this guy and where did he come from?

[picappgallerysingle id="9379991"]
Louis Oosthuizen is a young South African golfer who is starting to make an impact on the European Tour. His victories on the amateur circuit saw him become a professional golfer when he was just 19 years old. Five tournament wins on the Sunshine Tour led to a place on the European Tour, where he finished 31st in the Order of Merit in 2009.

I’d like to congratulate them both on outstanding performances and in Oosthuizen’s case – his first Major win!

The Dinosaur Mountain course has been rated the #1 public course in Arizona for two consecutive years.

Sidewinder snakes around the base of Dinosaur Mountain, through natural arroyos and dry creek beds.  Native cholla and prickly pear cacti, mesquite and Palo Verde trees line the challenging twists and turns that will keep you on top of your game. And like the Dinosaur course, it’s a scenic adventure that will bring you back again and again.

The Sidewinder course is noted for its creative design and challenging desert landscape. Round after round, you’ll never get tired of the panoramic vistas. Bring your clubs, bring your camera, and we’ll bring on one of the best golf experiences you’ll ever encounter.
