PACIFIC GOLF | FALL SEASON
Miles Of Smiles After a disastrous season opening tournament at Firestone the Tigers bounced back at the Del Walker and then capped a three-week stretch to open the season with a dominating team and individual win at the Bill Cullum Invitational. With the line-up playing stronger as the season progresses it begs the question....

is a lot of land to cover.
It’s roughly the distance from coast-to-coast. Twice. It’s also the amount of mileage that junior Alex Johnson’s grandfather has put on his car since the Tigers kicked off their season fall season with a trip to famed Firestone Country Club at the beginning of October. But he made the drive to that one from his house in Tucson just to watch his grandson play. He was there last spring when the Tigers won their first tournament in six years in Texas at the Rice Intercollegiate. He was also at Long Beach a week university

later and of course he continued up the road to Northridge to see the Tigers at Wood Ranch.

It takes a certain passion and desire to log nearly 6,000 miles in less than a month. It takes a lot of patience. That’s a lot of hotel stays, a lot of gas station stops and who knows how many rest stops. Dick’s probably the only guy in Tucson who comes in for his 3,000-mile oil change with more regularity than he takes out the trash. But he knows his grandson is something special and just doesn’t want to miss a moment as he climbs the ranks of college golf and transforms into one of the games best players.
o say the Tigers came into the 200910 season with lofty expectations simply wouldn’t do the word ʻlofty’ justification. With their topthree players not only back but with two years of experience under their belt All those weak Denny’s breakfasts’ by the side of it was a veritable certainty that the ʻ10 squad was a of the interstate finally paid off this week as he got much strong team than the ʻ09 version; not to mento see something he’d never seen before.

However, an opening round An opening round 66 put Johnson in the drivers 310 at Firestone Country Club immediately became seat and a second round 68 was the equivelant of a cause for concern as did subsequent rounds of putting his foot on the gas; something which the 293 and 303. Without a marquee performance family has much experience with. but plenty of shaky ones from any individuals on the roster the coaching staff was left to shake their With a five-shot lead heading into the final round collective heads and wonder if this team was in Johnson was almost caught by Northridge’s Nick fact as good as they had previously thought. The Delio but clutch play on his final three holes pre- Tigers would squeak out an eighth place finish at served the victory. It was as much of a display of the Firestone Invitational and Patrick Kucich would calm under pressure as it was of the passion and net another Top-20 finish in a career that is steadily work ethic that got him to this place to begin with. on the upswing but the rest of the Tigers had failed Gee... you wonder where he gets it... to show teeth in a tournament in which they should have been full of bite.

Thankfully that shaky start would be as much a mirage as anything as the Tigers made their annual Southern California swing to play in the Del Walker Intercollegiate and Northridge’s Bill Cullum Invitational. And then a funny thing happened on the way past the Forum. A pair a teammates, and roommates and best friends decided that all that work in the summer was going to pay off.
to out of our one and two guys,”said Goethals. “ If the Ohio-trip was one to forget and the Del Walker was one to build off of than the Bill Cullum was without a doubt one to remember. With Johnson’s opening round 66 on the board the Tigers would go nine-red in the opening round, distancing themselves from host Cal Northridge and rival UC Santa Barbara. A 281 in the afternoon would give the Tigers a 12-shot advantage going into final round play and Johnson, a 5-shot cushion. Again, stellar scores in the final round made sure the team outcome was never in doubt as Garcia shot a 68 and Bordeaux a 69.
And pay off it did as sophomore Danny Garcia and redshirt freshman Ben Bauch played anything-you-can-do-I-can-dobetter throughout the week. When both opened with even-par 70’s it was first Bauch going deep with a three-under 67 in the second round and then Garcia tacking on a 68 in the final round. Bauch would get a 13th place en route to etching his name into the Pacific record books with the fifth lowest tournament at 207 while Garcia claimed a 21st place finish at 209.
So with the team outcome clearly in the bag it was Johnson going shot-forshot down the stretch as his competitors jockeyed for position and tried to gain strokes. But with Dick ever-patrolling the cart paths Johnson steadily made clutch shot after clutch shot to stay at least one in the lead throughout the final round. From a player that is bursting with physical ability it may have been the capstone of all that hard work and desire to finally get a college win; and go for more. For Goethals and the team is simply a moment to soak up and be proud as one of their own achieved a individual award along with team achievement.
The Tigers kept themselves in the middle of the pack on Thursday with Johnson’s 68 and as the darkness-shortened second round came to an end the Tigers found themselves right smack in the middle of the 16-team field. The final round would see the Tigers get as high as tenth and as low as sixth at one point but Big West rival UC Irvine would clip Pacific down the stretch to finish sixth and although St. Mary’s fell from the lead midway through the second round they would hold on for seventh place, a shot ahead of Pacific at 1,060. Playing the unique, “play six, count five format”, Bauch and Garcia’s rounds would be joined by Johnson at 211, Bordeaux at 216, Kucich at 218 and Alex Grieb at 227.
Bet there’s another guy that’s pretty proud too.
“This is a tournament that we always seem to play well in and this time around was no exception but while we did get great performances from our four and five guys we didn’t get the rounds we needed 9 university

In the long standing tradition of Pacific Golf the Tigers held their annual fund-raiser, the Tiger Hunt, at Brookside Country Club on October 5th. The event was sponsored by Nakashima Golf.
First Place Reid Scarff Adam Beckman Charlie Van Sicklen AJ Hohn Brandon Hemphill
The Tiger Hunt brings together alumni, boosters and friends of the program for a day of golf with current Pacific players. It’s a chance for the community and all those influential to the program to interact and meet the players whom they support.
Second Place
Each team is composed of four boosters and one professional (a former or current Pacific player). The tournament is the Pacific Golf programs chief fund raiser for the year and allows the Tigers to travel to tournaments, recruit and provide both clothing and equipment to the team.

fornia set up while playing at a junior event in Stockton but was told by a Cal assistant coach a week before the visit to Berkeley that the Bears already had signed all of their recruits for that class.
Though the trend is for many top junior players to bypass official visits and commit to colleges before their senior year of high school, here’s a look at a player who took several official (and unofficial) visits and say the process helped immensely in making his decision.
Edfort will play for the University of the Pacific in the fall because of his ability, of course, but, just as important, because of an unofficial – and very unexpected – visit to the Stockton, Calif., campus. In September 2007, during his junior year in high school, Edfort and his mother put together a packet that included a resume, swing video and introduction letter. Because Edfort, from Somerset, N.J., was relatively unknown in the junior golf world, the two thought the effort would increase his exposure. It didn’t work.
“I liked him right off the bat,” Edfort said of Goethals, who gave him a tour of the school’s practice facility and courses the team used.“What was so impressive was that he took three hours, unsolicited. That showed a lot.” Goethals offered Edfort a scholarship in September, and he committed in October. Edfort said he felt guilty letting down the teams that had spent time – and money – when they hosted him for official visits.
“You have to keep at it and (not) get discouraged,” Edfort said. “It takes time, but you have to think you’ll finally break through.” That break came when Edfort collected his first AJGA title at the Lessing’s AJGA Classic in July 2008. Schools quickly began showing interest, and Edfort began a series of official and unofficial visits. Edfort went on three official visits (Davidson, Lafayette and William and Mary) and two unofficial (Pacific and Virginia). The school he finally picked he only visited because another one didn’t want him.
“On officials, we spent more time on campus and more time with the golfers; I stayed overnight on all three,” Edfort said. “I felt bad calling the coach up and telling him I wasn’t coming.”
Edfort had an unofficial visit to the University of Caliuniversity
By chance, a Pacific coach was watching another player in Edfort’s group, and Edfort asked if he could visit the campus. Pacific head coach Brandon Goethals took Edfort around the campus for three hours. He also met the team in the cafeteria before practice. The unofficial visit made more of an impact than any official visit Edfort went on.
It was not an easy decision, but because of his numerous visits – official and unofficial – it was an informed one. 11

Taking Down Trinitas
pa c i f i c g o l f
Let’s make one thing crystal clear. You do not go low at Trinitas. You want to shoot in the 60’s? Brookside Country Club, Stockton Country Club, Swenson... all great choices. Sure you can make birdies and an occasional eagle but putting up anything more than 3-under par at Mike Nemee’s little adventureland in the Calavares Hills is something rare. How rare? Not just taking-down-Tiger-Woods rare but more like doing-it-to-Tiger twice rare, as in it’s never been done before. Sure you can make a few birdies here and there but Trinitas does not let you hold on to too many circles without a few squares popping up. At least it hadn’t...
It’s October. 2007. The Pacific Golf office. The Tigers have just finished qualifying for the Husky Invitational and one of coach Brandon Goethals’ top recruits is absent from the traveling squad. Alex Johnson sits across the room. Disappointed. Sure. Mad. Probably. Determined. You betcha.
the first qualifier of the year for the Tigers; six rounds down, one to go. Ten guys, low five go. No coaches picks or exceptions or captains picks. And it’s the final round and Johnson isn’t just out of the top five he’s struggling to keep his head of water in the ninth position. 13 strokes from making the cut. Maybe the only golf on the course that day stubborn enough to not realize that it just wasn’t going to happen for him and he would indeed miss his second trip. Maybe he didn’t realize he would need to gain an unheard of seven strokes while FOUR players in front of him fell back by nearly the same amount. He got both. In shattering the course record by more than five shots we’ll fall just short of calling it Beamonesque or even shades of Nickalaus at the Masters but for one fall afternoon, for one college golfer this was that important. It was that height of pressure that simply cannot be duplicated in golf. Needing to go lower than thought possible on a course that Nemee himself had designed without nary the thought multiple birdies in mind let alone the possiblity of something like this. But he did it. He went out and jumped half the team already having played six rounds and it made it all up in one afternoon. Desire and workethic were never something that Johnson had been short on and by posting a 65 at Trinitas he reaffirmed his goal at becoming a top collegiate player and kept intact that in which he said he would.
“Coach, I will NOT miss another tournament while I’m at Pacific,” says the then-skinny and experience-free freshman. “I will be in EVERY line-up for you.” Fast-forward two years. Johnson hasn’t missed a single tournament for the Tigers in two years since his promise to himself and his team. But now it’s

HEAD COACH
BRANDON GOET H A LS WILL NOW TAKE YOUR
QUESTIONS
Q. The Tigers have played three events this season, the Firestone, Del Walker and Bill Cullum Invitationals. Where do the Tigers stand at this point in the season?
BG. I have to say that the beginning of the season was definitely a disappointment. You just canʼt start the year off with a poor finish because it kills your national ranking out of the gate. I thought we played better at the Del Walker, but we still werenʼt just playing the game. Some of the guys were forcing things and I think it showed in our results. The Cullum was an entirely different story. In my 4+ years here I have not seen a team play that confident. I am very proud of how we played as a team. Overall, we are in a little bit of a hole but I think we are moving in the right direction.ou must have someone in the position to lea Q. You had freshman Ben Bauch finish in 13th at the Del Walker in his first collegiate event and sophomore Danny Garcia shoot under par for the tournament as well. What is the impact of these underclassmen coming into their own as college players?
BG. I know one thing for sure and I donʼt want this to sound arrogant, but Iʼm a good recruiter. I know who has potential. When I bring someone into this program, I truly believe they can contribute to this team. It is great to see Ben and Dan work so hard and now see it pay off. They pushed all their chips in for this program and Iʼm just stoked that they are doing what they are doing. Not to mention, they are both still very young.
Q. This is the fourth Pacific Invitational your program has hosted. We know the tournament is one of the best in the country but what do the Tigers have to do to have some success at their own event?
BG. The Invitational is something I truly cherish. It is not often you get to build something from scratch and see it grow. All of that aside, it is time for our team to step up and defend their home soil. I think in the past we were just young and nervous. This yearʼs team is a lot more experienced and they believe they can now play well at home. The course will be set up differently from what they are used to, but we need to be able to adjust. I also think winning the week prior to the event will help even more. and you must have someone in the position to lea

The ultimate vision for the Pacific Golf Program, through The Clubhouse, is to maintain and enhance fundraising opportunies. Our goal is to create different levels of giving that would allow Pacific Golf to not only maintain financial stability but to also grow and continue on the path towards an elite collegiate golf program. By creating The Clubhouse, our supporters now have the ability and financial freedom to support the program with a one-time yearly gift. Abandoning various promotions for funds throughout the year this will allow the ultimate clubhouse membership to join and support the Tigers in all aspects including the Tiger Hunt, Pacific Invitational, Pacific Cup and numerous other ventures. The Clubhouse will also allow Pacific Golf to better recognize and track annual giving, thus bringing those members of the Pacific Golf family closer to the young men they are supporting. The foundation for any successful venture begins and ends with planning and vision. The Pacific Golf Program, much like the game of golf is no exception. As on the golf course you would use a yardage book to plan and chart you game you will use this yardage book to track and show your involvement in the Pacific Golf Program.
pa c i f i c g o l f
Within the normal pages you would be able to mark yardages, pin placements and wind tendencies to complete a successful round. That same vision is applied here as you will be able to choose your level of involvement with the Tigers. The system is designed as one of ease; we want you to have the flexibility to join the Clubhouse either all at once, split payments or even quartlery. While you have the ability to become more involved with this great program and the young men that will shape its future the Pacific Golf program likewise will now have the ability to bring you closer within the Family than ever before. The vision of the program is one of greatness and that begins and ends with the support from players like yourself. Let this yardage book be your guide throughout The Clubhouse and we look forward to you joining someday soon.

Underclassman Uprising One’s pure NorCal. The other is as SoCal as you can get. They might singularily as different on the course as they are off it but these two underclassmen know how to feed off each other, they know how to work hard. and now... they’re learing how to win.

How’d this whole thing start? We just randomly got picked to be roommates our freshman year. It’s helped me out, Danny being from Stockton and on the course as well. We know each other’s games so well and we can look out for each other. Yeah, we just sat down and figured out what we needed to do to be a factor on this team. We woke up early every day over the summer and paid a personal trainer that got us in pretty damn good shape. We’d be on the golf course, put in work... play tournament. Plus Ben stayed here this summer. We lived in a garage. A garage? Yeah, the back of my house. Talk about your similarities. Well we both like doing the same thing. Yeah. We both like to have a good time. Yeah. But we know that you got to get the work done first. Yeah. We like to enjoy ourselves and love to relax. The difference? I’m from SoCal. I’m Norcal. Ben’s more down to earth, not stressed out at all. I’m more responsible. Yeah, he is. I’m like the father. He makes his bed. He’s clean. He’s dirty. Yeah! I’m not as organized as he is and he’s definitely more of a people person. What about on the golf course, talk about your games. Well, my ball striking has been one of the stronger part of my game, getting the ball of the tee and with my irons. But my putting and touch around the green is definitely something that I need to improve on. That’s funny cause we have the exact opposite games. I rely totally on my short game and putting. I could shank it around the course and still shoot 72. But when my ball striking’s on I will play well. Why Pacific? It was the best opportunity for me to succeed with golf. The coaches are passionate and determined university

to win. The program is very focused on one goal. Getting better and winning. Ever wish you were right handed? Nope. Not for a second. You know, cause it’s gotta be hard.. Nope. So what are you each known for? What, you mean like nicknames? I’m D. Garc. With a C. Not Gark. Yeah, just call me Benny. Kinda leaning towards how other people know you two.. Oh, well probably that I’m pretty respectful, quiet... and that I’m a leader. Adults like me. Yeah, you’ve got them fooled huh? (laughs) I’d say people know me for being involved in the community and being a leader, just very involved, someone that works hard... Wait a second!! If we took a random survey of Pacific students they’d say you were respect Yeah bro! He’s an eagle scout. Of course they would... Maybe they’d say that’s the guy that’s really white... Round out the dream foursome for me. You two.. and any two other people for a round of golf. Who are they? I’d have to play with Elizabeth Hurley! (laughs) I’d say probably Dane Cook, someone funny... and Fred Couples. Ooh, that’s a good one. I’ll say Tiger Woods. Any golf superstitions? Yeah, I always have to have my clothes ironed. I can’t wear wrinkly stuff on the golf course. I think the better I look the better I play. How bout you? Oh yeah...I don’t care. I’ll wear whatever. Anything goes I guess...
