Inside the Wyndham Championship with Mark Brazil

he Wyndham Championship celebrates its 80th anniversary July 30-Aug. 4 at Sedgefield Country Club. Tournament Director Mark Brazil talks about the upcoming PGA event in the Q&A below:

Q: A:

The Wyndham Championship is almost here, but first, let’s revisit last month’s AJGA Wyndham Invitational presented by BB&T. We had a great event; the golf course was in the best shape ever for our AJGA event, and that’s a big deal because we want the kids to remember how great Sedgefield is. Course condition is a big deal.Brett’s (2019 Wyndham Invitational champion Brett Roberts) obviously is a great player; he really showed how good he is in the final round when he had to make that putt at 18 to win the tournament. We had some other great players near the top of the leaderboard like defending champion Karl Vilips who’s going to Stanford next year. This win was Brett’s first in an AJGA Invitational, and it’ll do wonders for his game – especially when he gets down to Florida State next year.

Q: A:

With 86 Wyndham Invitational alumni now on TOUR, I guess it’s safe to say we’ll see these AJGA guys again. There’s no doubt we’ll see a lot of these kids again. There will be 20-30, maybe a third or half of the field, who will make it to professional golf whether that’s overseas, the PGA TOUR or the Web.com Tour. Our strength of field continues to improve each year, and it’s probably one of the strongest two or three junior tournaments in the world.

Now let’s talk about strength of field for the Wyndham Championship. We’ve been talking a lot about the Wyndham Rewards Top 10. It’ll be interesting to see how that’ll play out, but we’re getting to the point where our field will start coming together soon. How do you see it happening at this point? I’ve been doing a lot of recruiting lately, visiting tournaments, and there’s a lot of chatter. There’s a lot of players trying to figure out their schedules because there’s a lot of money out there – not only in the FedExCup playoffs but also at the Wyndham Championship with the new $10

million Wyndham Rewards Top 10 where the regular season points leader will take home an extra $2 million with $1.5 million going to second place all the way down to $500,000 for 10th place. It’s a new incentive and new money for these guys to play for. I think we’ll have 6-10 players who come play us but probably wouldn’t have without the Wyndham Rewards Top 10, but I’m even more optimistic about years two and three because the first year, there’s always a little bit of a learning curve while people learn it and understand it. Congratulations to Gary Woodland on the incredible golf he played at the U.S. Open in winning his first Major. That was a gritty performance, and he’ll be a great champion. This will be a very popular win with all the pros. He’s such a good guy!

Q: A:

And with that in mind, you’ve also given a couple of sponsor’s exemptions; who got them? Two of the best young players in the world who just turned professional -- Matthew Wolff and Victor Hovland. They both played for Oklahoma State. Victor was low amateur at the Masters this year and was in the Butler Cabin with Jim Nance and Tiger Woods; he also won the US Amateur last year. Matthews Wolff is probably the biggest young superstar in golf – he won the Haskins Award as the most outstanding Division I college golfer and NCAA individual title this year,

What’s new at the Wyndham this year? It’s not new, but we’re very excited to have Margaritaville back again this year because it’s become such a great part of our tournament. Wyndham is doing a lot of things with the Wyndham Rewards Top 10. You’ll see a little bit more attention given to “Carolina Core” and the knowledge corridor of our universities, from Wake Forest over to East Carolina, including Elon, North Carolina A&T, High Point all the way over to North Carolina, N.C. State and Duke, which is second-to-none. We’ll be promoting those at our tournament. Sunbrella has increased its involvement; we’ll have to wait a bit to announce that, but we appreciate their increased support. BB&T is also giving us some additional support which is fantastic, and the Monday Pro-Am is now the BB&T Monday Pro-Am; our earlier tournament week doesn’t work for Kevin Harvick because of the NASCAR schedule, so BB&T took over that event. With the new houses, we’ve expanded our hospitality reach on the 18th hole and have basically doubled our hospitality size, including a new luxury suite. We’ve also grown on holes 15 and 17. Limited corporate hospitality options remain available; please visit: https://www.wyndhamchampionship.com/sponsorships/corporate-hospitality/.

Seeing Red

Players must go low to contend at Wyndham Championship By BRAD KING

hat will it take to win this year’s Wyndham Championship? You’ve got to go low. Real low. Four rounds in the 60s are practically a must at Greensboro’s Sedgefield Country Club, which — playing as a par 70 measuring slightly more than 7,100 yards during the Wyndham Championship — is considered a short layout by today’s PGA TOUR standards. Firing … or at least scaring … a course record won’t hurt your cause, either. Last year, Brandt Snedeker bogeyed his first hole of the week, the par-4 10th, before making four birdies and turning at 3-under par. Snedeker then blistered Sedgefield’s front side, navigating nine holes in 27 strokes – 8-under par — to open the Wyndham with a course-record 59 and become just the 10th golfer in PGA TOUR history to post a sub-60 score. Snedeker tied a bow on his 72nd hole on Sunday by rolling in a 20-footer for another birdie to get to 21 under for the week. With his three-stroke victory, the 2007 champion became the 10th multiple winner and the ninth wireto-wire winner in Wyndham Championship history. “I found something there for a few days and was able to put the ball 6

TRIAD GOLF TODAY • JULY 2019

where I wanted to and make some putts,” Snedeker said. “I was so excited about that, because the (Sedgefield) greens are so good. Luckily, it kind of clicked. All of a sudden, everything starts feeling better.” Snedeker was able to fend off 2011 Wyndham champion Webb Simpson, who shot an eight-under 62 at Sedgefield in last year’s final round and finished tied for second. Two years ago, Henrik Stenson fired 62 in the first round, only to find himself trailing Matt Every by a stroke. The second round featured another 61, this one by Ryan Armour. Stenson, the No. 3-ranked golfer in the world at the time, went on to set the Wyndham Championship scoring mark at 22 under. “This golf course gives you a lot of 8, 9 irons, wedges into these greens and they’re pretty receptive,” Stenson said. “It’s a nice golf course — a lowscoring golf course. Not the longest, but you still have to keep it in play and be accurate with second shots. I try to put myself in position and try to stay out of that Bermuda rough. If you do that, you’ve got pretty short clubs and you can be accurate with your second shots.” Si Woo Kim won in 2016 by matching the former tournament record mark

Wyndham from page 6 of 21 under. Following a ho-hum 68 in the first round, Kim catapulted up the leaderboard with a then-course-record 60 to lead by two headed into the weekend, before cruising to a five-stroke cakewalk. In 2014, Camilo Villegas bookended 63s in the opening and final rounds at Sedgefield to eke out a one-stroke victory over Bill Haas and Freddie Jacobson. Contestants across the board praise Sedgefield’s classic, Donald Ross layout — which was restored to its original design in 2007, while also being modernized for today’s PGA Tour players. Following the $3-million restoration process, led by Ross course expert and Greensboro resident Kris Spence, tournament officials elected to move the tournament from Forest Oaks Country Club back to Sedgefield. North Carolina State alumnus Carl Pettersson dominated that 2008 return by posting four rounds in the 60s — including a then-Sedgefield course record 61 in Friday’s second round — while also setting the 72-hole tournament-record score of 259, 21-under-par. “This course, you can make a lot of birdies, but it’s quite easy to have a few bogeys in there, too,” said Pettersson, who also fired a third-round 60 en route to winning the 2010 RBC Canadian Open. “The courses (on the PGA TOUR) are set up hard, so it’s a nice change to be really aggressive. (Sedgefield) suits

www.triadgolf.com

my style. I try to play really aggressive all the time.” Two years later, champion Arjun Atwal tied Pettersson’s two-year-old Wyndham course record with a firstround 61. In the 11 events contested since the Wyndham Championship returned to Sedgefield, the winning score has averaged 18.5 under par. “I’d like to say players go low at Sedgefield because the conditions are so good, but they see conditions similar to ours about every week,” said Michael Shoun, director of agronomy for Raleigh-based McConnell Golf, which owns Sedgefield Country Club. “I will say, the players always tell us we have some of the best greens of any of the events they play all season.” Shoun pointed to Sedgefield’s two par-5s, holes No. 5 and 15, which, with a good drive, most players are able to play as long par-4s. “Most years, the winner of the tournament is 8 to 10 under for just those two holes,” Shoun said. The low scoring at Sedgefield is not atypical on the PGA TOUR, where fans have grown accustomed to 20-under totals. The average winning score in 46 individual stroke-play TOUR events last season was 16.56 under par. Twelve of those events were captured with at least 20 under par and 41 were won with a double-digit total. There’s a reason the PGA TOUR tag line reads: “These guys are good.” To go deep in the red digits, golfers

must strike the ball and putt significantly better than they typically do. In other words, to go uber-low both ball striking and putting must be clicking all week. And, of course, there’s that all-important distance between a golfer’s ears. “To really go low, to shatter that scoring barrier you thought you never would, you've got to think less about the club and more about your mental approach,” said Rickie Fowler. “I play my best when I focus on staying in a good place mentally and keep the technique simple.” Other factors exist, as well. Technology has helped create the type of equipment that past generations could only imagine. And it’s not just the clubs and balls that perform so consistently. Building the perfect swing has never been easier, thanks to the plethora of data available through devices such as the TrackMan launch monitor, along with access to coaches, trainers and sports psychologists. Of course, the ability of today’s breed of athletes to push each other has contributed greatly to the scoring assault. “When I first came out in 2006, I remember some of the cut lines were plus 1, and plus 2,” said former World No. 1 Jason Day. “Now, most of the cut lines are under par. It just goes to show how stiff the competition has gotten over the years that I’ve been out here. On top of that, the guys are just younger and stronger and fitter and

faster, and they are just long out there. The competition is really, really tough right now. If you don’t stay one step ahead of the young guys, it’s easy to get left behind.” All of which adds up to a realistic likelihood that the world’s best golfers will continue dismantling scoring marks. While 22 under for four rounds of golf at Sedgefield is impressive, its shelf life may be short-lived. “The competition gets harder and harder every year,” Stenson said. “The younger players, they come out on TOUR, they’re better than the ones before them. I think it’s just a natural progression in any sport for players to be better than the ones before them. I’m sure we’re going to see more records broken in the future. Absolutely.”

A Grand Partnership

Wyndham Championship and Grandover Resort enjoy “perfect” relationship

By BRAD KING and LEN ZIEHM

he Wyndham Championship returned to Sedgefield Country Club in 2008. Explaining the move back after more than three decades at Forest Oaks Country Club, southeast of Greensboro, tournament officials cited several key factors: the appeal of Sedgefield’s freshly restored, Donald Ross-designed golf course and its location closer to the center of the Piedmont Triad. The other significant consideration was Sedgefield’s closer proximity to the Grandover Resort & Conference Center, where many players and sponsors stay during the Wyndham Championship. Originally called the Greater Greensboro Open (GGO) and now the PGA TOUR’s third-oldest event, the tournament was originally con-

TRIAD GOLF TODAY • JULY 2019

tested at Sedgefield — a private facility that opened in 1926. In its early years, the tournament was played on the courses at both Sedgefield and Starmount Forest Country Clubs — both in Greensboro. There have been other title sponsors and other host sites over the years. But since 2008, the Piedmont Triad’s flagship sporting event has been the Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield. While tournament operations are stationed at Sedgefield, the headquarters for title sponsor Wyndham Rewards is at neighboring Grandover Resort. Grandover’s practice range also serves in that capacity for the ProAm participants during tournament week, so the relationship between Sedgefield and the resort is a tight one. “I would call it perfect,’’ said Mark Brazil, tournament director

of the Wyndham Championship. “They’ve got two great golf courses over there (at Grandover) and all the space for our activities, plus a beautiful hotel. It almost feels like we’re their third course because we’re so close. We couldn’t have a better marriage with them.’’ Brazil directs the only PGA TOUR event played annually on a Donald Ross-designed course, and he appreciates the partnership with Grandover. Wyndham Week this year is July 30-August 4, two weeks earlier than usual, and the $6.2-million event holds a key place on the PGA Tour schedule. Celebrating its 80th anniversary in 2019, the Wyndham will be the last tournament prior to the FedEx Cup Playoffs, representing the last chance for players to establish a strong position going into golf’s lucrative postseason. Only the top 125 in the FedEx standings will tee

off in the first of the three playoff events. And that’s not all. For the first time, the $10-million Wyndham Rewards Top 10 bonus pool will be in effect, offering bonus money — including a winner’s pot of $2 million – to the top 10 finishers in the FedEx Cup point standings entering the playoffs. While the birdies and bogeys are crucial at Sedgefield, about 40 members of the Wyndham Championship field will be staying at Grandover. So will a bulk of the tourney’s sponsors and Wyndham’s guests, and they will have some enjoyable golf to play that week, too. Grandover’s two 18-hole courses were designed by architect Gary Panks, with the help of player consultant David Graham, an Australian who won the 1979 PGA Continued on page 11 www.triadgolf.com

A Grand Partnership from page 10

Championship and the 1981 U.S. Open. He also had top-five finishes in both the British Open and Masters. Like many top stars in his playing days, Graham got involved in course design as a sidelight venture. Panks did most of his design work in Arizona. The Grandover courses are his only creations in North Carolina. Panks started doing courses on his own in 1978 and teamed up with Graham from 1988 until 1997 under the banner Graham & Panks International. They designed 10 courses together and the Grandover courses represented one of their final projects together. Graham & Panks was able to break into the North Carolina course design market – one then dominated by state resident Tom Fazio and Arnold Palmer – because Graham had a friend who was close to Joe Koury, the founder of Grandover. Koury passed away in 1998, shortly after the resort opened, but Grandover remains family owned. The resort, celebrating its 20th year in full operation, was built on 1,500 acres of oak, pine and dogwoodcovered hills. The designers filled the courses with a wide variety of holes, most all of them with undulating greens. The courses have been used

www.triadgolf.com

for Web.com Tour events and top collegiate competitions. An NCAA Division I regional and three Division III national championships have been played at Grandover. For leisure travelers, these courses are an attractive deal, as the top

greens fee is only $75, there is no competition with members for tee times and the lodging is not only pleasantly upscale, but in close proximity to the golf, as well. Grandover has undergone an extensive, $10-million renovation of

the entire property over the last two years and more money is being spent to complete several indoor projects this year. Work began on the exterior of the resort late in 2016 and required six months to complete. In 2017, all 244 guest rooms were remodeled and in 2018 the bars and restaurants received the same attention. All parts of the property were rebranded, the style changing from Old World European to a tribute honoring the rich history of the area. A fire pit lounge overlooking the courses has been added this year. Around tournament time, Grandover understandably still surrenders top billing to Sedgefield. But Grandover has 36 holes of memorable golf — all open to the public — and is an easy stopover for players heading to either of the golf destinations of Pinehurst or Myrtle Beach, S.C. Enjoying Grandover is especially easy for North Carolina residents, thanks to the formation of the Griffin Club. For $20 members can get reduced greens fees and other year-around benefits when they visit Grandover. More than 2,500 have already signed up. TRIAD GOLF TODAY • JULY 2019

Harvey shares the wealth with most recent USGA victory

By STEVE HUFFMAN

cott Harvey isn’t the kind of guy who goes about ranking his golfing accomplishments, this above that. One reason, there’s too darn many. Harvey, 41, of Kernersville, has done everything from represent the United States in the 2015 Walker Cup Match to qualify for the 2017 U.S. Open. He has won more individual titles and trophies than you can shake a pitching wedge at. But press him a bit, and Harvey, a property manager by trade, will admit

that winning the 5th U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship in Bandon, Ore., last month places near the top of his golfing thrills. Harvey accomplished the feat at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort’s Old Macdonald course. His playing partner was Todd Mitchell. “Any USGA championship is really hard to come by,” Harvey said. “This one, you get to share, which is very unique in golf. To share with a friend is really special.” This year marked the fifth time that Harvey and Mitchell, 40, of Bloomington, Ill., have competed as a team in the USGA Amateur Four-Ball

Championship. They’ve been forces to be reckoned with each time, including a semifinal showing in 2015, the event’s inaugural year. This time around, Harvey and Mitchell defeated Logan Shuping, 21, of Salisbury, and Blake Taylor, 21, of Wilmington, 2 and 1 in the 18-hole championship match. Shuping and Taylor are both rising seniors at East Carolina University. Harvey said it wasn’t until he approached the first tee of the championship match that he realized three of the four players were residents of North Carolina. “I remember thinking, ‘That’s great,’” Harvey said. “That speaks volumes as to the quality of golf that’s being played in North Carolina.” Harvey was impressed with the play and manners of Shuping and Taylor, who had their fathers serve as their caddies. “They were extremely nice young men,” Harvey said of the opponents that he and Mitchell faced. “Somebody’s got to win and somebody’s got to lose, that’s just the way it is. But these guys couldn’t have been more gracious. And they’re very talented. They’ve got great golf careers ahead of them.”

Mitchell and Harvey grabbed an early 2-up lead in the final, thanks to consecutive birdies on Nos. 5 and 6. But Shuping and Taylor responded, Taylor holing a 3-foot birdie putt on the seventh. The match turned even when Taylor holed another birdie on No. 10. Shuping and Taylor took their only lead when they each hit approach shots within 5 feet on No. 14. Meanwhile, Harvey and Mitchell both flew the green and registered only their second bogey of the 116-hole championship. Shuping and Taylor appeared ready to up their lead on the 14th hole, a 285-yard par 4. Shuping drove the green, but three-putted. Mitchell made an up-and-down birdie from below the green to tie the championship. “That was the shot of the match,” Harvey said. “Then when (Shuping) three-putted, everything went in our direction. Yeah, I felt like 14 was the match.” Mitchell, a former minor league baseball player who spent a season with the Greensboro Hornets, birdied the par-5 15th hole to put him and Harvey 1 up. On the par-4 16th hole, Mitchell hit a 155-yard shot to within 4

feet to set up another birdie. The match concluded on the 17th hole, with the teams making matching pars. Harvey met Mitchell through golf, the two through the years playing as teammates and competitors in numerous events. A bond grew between them. “We just developed a friendship,” Harvey said. Mitchell takes it a step further. “I mean, we live, I don’t know, 800 miles away, and we talk every day; every single day,” he said. “There’s not a day that goes by unless he’s on vacation somewhere that we don’t talk. And to share this with him means everything.” Asked if he and Mitchell would be back to defend their championship at the 6th U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship scheduled for next May at the Cricket Club in Philadelphia, Harvey replied, “Oh, yeah.” For winning the championship, Harvey and Mitchell get custody of the U.S. Amateur Four-Ball trophy for one year and receive gold medals. Their names will be inscribed on a USGA trophy and be forever immortalized inside the USGA Golf Museum’s Hall of Champions. They also earn a 10-year exemption into the championship, provided their team remains intact. Shuping and Taylor received silver medals and a three-year exemption from qualifying. As well as Harvey continues to play, he said he “scaled it way back” a year ago in terms of how much time he devotes to golf. He and his wife, Kim, had a son, Gavin, born last October. The couple also have a 9-year-old son, Cameron. Harvey spends much of the time he used to devote to playing golf helping coach ball teams on which his oldest son plays. “I’m having fun coaching,” he said. “It’s all about family now.” Family is one of the big reasons Harvey has gone as far as he has in golf. His father, Bill Harvey, who died in 2013, owned Sedgefield Driving Range on High Point Road. Scott basically grew up at the facility. “I got off the school bus there, that was pretty much my whole life,” he said. “My father, he taught me everything about the game. A lot of character building went on at that place.”

It’s time to test your mettle on this rugged masterpiece. Renowned course architect Gil Hanse has transformed what Donald Ross ﬁrst carved out of the sand a century ago into 18 dramatic holes you’ll want to play again and again.

Dan’s Dynasty

Dan Brooks leads Duke women to seventh national title By DAVID DROSCHAK

t least a small piece of Duke’s seven national titles in women’s golf under coach Dan Brooks can be attributed by Lyman Gallup. Who the heck is Lyman Gallup, you may ask? You won’t find Gallup in any women’s golf media guides nor is he the father of any of the stars that have dotted the team’s roster over the last two decades. In fact, there is no record at all of Gallup on the Durham campus. For the record, Gallup is the former men’s golf coach at Boise State in the 1980s, who informed an assistant pro at Crane Creek Country Club in Idaho who was interested in teaching about the Duke women’s golf coaching vacancy. That 25-year-old was none other than Dan Brooks. Seven national championships later, Brooks still laughs about his response to Gallup prodding him to apply for the Duke coaching position. “I said, ‘Well I don’t think I want to move to Texas,”’ Brooks remembers saying at the time. “He said, ‘Good, you won’t have to because Duke is actually in North Carolina.’ I don’t know what I had against Texas but I didn’t want to move there, but I was OK with North Carolina. Still, I had no idea where Duke was.” Brooks, a former star golfer at Oregon State and a self-proclaimed West Coast guy, flew to the East Coast, landed at Raleigh-Durham International Airport and drove to Durham to meet with then athletic director Tom Butters and men’s golf coach Rod Myers. The two B boys – Brooks and Butters – hit it off. “I said to myself on the interview, ‘Man, I could work for this guy.’ I really liked Tom Butters,” Brooks said. “I thought Duke was beautiful. I grew up in Baker City, Ore., and spent three years in Boise so I had never seen anything like Duke, or had 18

even been to the East Coast. There was a real culture difference but Duke really sold itself. There was no question in my mind that I wanted to work there once I visited.” Brooks was hired to lead the Duke women’s golf team, along with assistant coaching duties with Myers on the men’s side. The two golf coaches also ran the golf course operations. “I wore a lot of hats and spent a lot of hours out there,” Brooks said of Duke University Golf Club. At 25, Brooks wasn’t sure he could coach, or become a good teacher for that matter, saying he “hedged his bets” by taking the coaching job. “I figured I would be at a university in case I wanted to go back to school and do something else, so it seemed liked a smart move to get on a campus; I could explore the teaching golf aspect of it, stay in the PGA and I could explore things and maybe shift careers if I had to,” Brooks said. “But then I realized I really liked this coaching thing, the fact that coaching made me a better teacher because if you are not teaching well your team is not going to win. It really holds your feet to the fire and makes you better. You can’t just spout off ‘wiseisms,’ you have to know what you’re talking about because you are really going to tournaments and having to perform as a team.” Brooks quickly learned the college coaching ropes. “I had to make a choice – I had to either get involved with their games and their swings, or I was just going to be a van driver,” he said. “There were times when I just said ‘I don’t know exactly what I’m doing here but I’m going to jump in.’ I wasn’t going to be a coach that wasn’t going to get involved. That was a very important decision.” Continued on page 19 www.triadgolf.com

Dan’s Dynasty from page 18 And a second coaching philosophy soon took hold for Brooks. “You don’t want to just run around and tell them their swing looks good, believe in it, it’s great, if you don’t really believe it,” he said. “If you are telling them it looks good and it’s not really working within the laws of physics and you’re just trying to boost their confidence they are not going to believe you. Once you do that and make that mistake then you are done, they are not going to believe you when you say it looks good. Now you have killed the whole thing. You have to figure out a way to be honest with them and at the same time do your best to encourage them. “It’s one of the great challenges of this coaching thing. How are you honest with them but at the same time keep their confidence up and boost their morale? It was especially a challenge when I didn’t have that much experience as a teacher.” Brooks found his way in an age where theories ruled, winning the first of his handful of NCAA titles in 1999. “There are a lot of numbers now, but 35 years ago when I started I was 25 so you lack some credibility right there because you are young, and you also didn’t have the TrackMan numbers and the video, and there were as bunch of different ideas flying around,” Brooks said. “Everybody had a theory, so all of

those things were working against me as a young coach. Now, I’ve got more experienced and I’ve got the numbers and I’ve got the video and the teaching world has honed things in with some very important principles that make a whole lot more sense. There are fewer wild ideas flying around, so coaching is a whole lot of fun now because you have validation. I can validate everything that I’m telling somebody with numbers and with video and with what other great teachers are teaching. I had a lot of things working against me back in the day.” More than three decades later, Brooks has a resume no one can match in women’s golf. His seven NCAA titles have all come in a remarkable 20-year span. He also has 20 Atlantic Coast Conference championships and 136 team wins – the most of any division I women’s golf coach. “Coach Brooks is definitely a veteran at this,” said freshman star Gina Kim of Chapel Hill. “He has a great amount of knowledge on how to compete, how the team atmosphere should be, how he should lead a team, so being able to play under a coach like him is definitely something I am honored to be a part of. I feel grateful to him welcoming me into the Duke women’s golf team and helping me develop as a person and a player.” Brooks has coached countless AllAmericans and sent dozens of players to the LPGA Tour, including 2002 LPGA rookie of the year Beth Bauer, 2016 U.S.

Women’s Open champion Brittany Lang, and current star Yu Liu. Brooks’ most recent national title came in dramatic fashion in May when the Blue Devils edged ACC-rival Wake Forest on a difficult layout in Arkansas. “It was a close team; they were united,” Brooks said. “They had great perspective on what we were doing and were really passionate about it, but at the same time they kept each other loose and had a lot of humor. They were just a lot of fun to be around. “They worked hard in all directions – they worked hard with the golf part of it but they also just killed it in the weight room day-after-day, so that helped them because by the time we got out to that course in Arkansas we needed mental and physical toughness and we had it,” he added. Brooks has learned to craft what he calls “a package” for each of his players, a sort of customized game plan of how to attack all of Duke’s unique challenges. “I am going to see them play a lot of holes of golf, I’m going to see them hit a lot of golf balls so to pretend that they don’t need a little bit of attention along the way is crazy,” he said. “So, I decided to put a package together for each player that includes their performance coach, and it might include a psychologist, it might include my involvement with either a very small amount or a great amount, whatever is the best package for that player. My job is to figure out the best package and build

a team around each kid that is going to make them the best person and the best player they can be by the time they graduate. That’s the fun of it. Sometimes I’m highly involved and sometimes I’m not involved much at all.” Chris Kennedy, Duke’s senior deputy director of athletics, has been at the school since 1977 and first met Brooks as an academic liaison with his players. The two have become close friends and gone on numerous Iron Duke golfing trips that included Scotland and Ireland. Kennedy can’t say enough great things about his friend. “I think ‘remarkable’ is the word for what Dan has accomplished here,” Kennedy said. “Sure, there are the generic challenges of coaching college golf -- having the teacher and the team dynamic in an individual sport and all of that -- but that is compounded at a place like Duke because there is so much academic pressure. The golfers who are good enough to play here have a real potential to play beyond college, so that is very, very important to them, but they have to survive and thrive in this academic environment. “It’s a whole different level of challenge to keep those kids balanced and to concentrate on the things they need to concentrate on and succeeding – that’s really tough – and Dan has figured that out pretty well.”

GlobalGolf’s grand scale A value proposition worth investing in By DAVID DROSCHAK

TRIAD GOLF TODAY • JULY 2019

he entrance of GlobalGolf looks like something out of a “Men in Black” movie set – a stark and sterile lobby with a large silver logo and one TV that can be mesmerizing. Looks can be deceiving. On the TV screen is a running tally of GlobalGolf’s business day. When I left the company’s headquarters just before noon with founder Ed Bynam to check out the “guts” of the operation at the nearby warehouse, the firm specializing in online trade-ins of used golf clubs had sales of more than $33,000 and counting with customers doing business in 18 different countries while tracking brands selling the best. Remember, that was just by noon that day. “On the Internet, it’s relatively easy to sell hundreds-and-hundreds of the same product, but to sell hundreds-ofthousands of unique items, now that’s hard,” Bynam said. “That’s really what a pre-owned club is. Everyone is different, even if it’s the same model. It may have a different condition, a different shaft, a different grip. Each one is its own individual entity. Our platform had to be built to be able to accommodate that, which is very different from what normal E-commerce retailers who are selling new products do.” Founded in a small office in 2001, GlobalGolf now has 100,000 square foot of warehouse space in the Triangle, Salt Lake City and outside of Toronto that houses hundreds of thousands of used clubs, along with new golf apparel such as balls, shoes, gloves, apparel – you name it. Bynam, 68, grew up in New York and was a pretty good prep golfer and college golfer, going to two NCAA tournaments while playing for the University of Connecticut after dreaming of teeing it up for the Tar Heels or Blue Devils. After moving to Colorado, he was lured to compete in a few tournaments in Mexico and actually won the Mexican Open, playing in a group with Lee Trevino. The victory brought a series of exemptions in tournaments around the world, but not so much at home. Bynam likes to tell a funny story about writing to the Masters after the Mexican Open victory. “I told them I won the Mexican Open and they said if I was Mexican I would have gotten in to the Masters,” he said. “I felt that win was the launching of a great career, right? It turned out as I look back Continued on page 25 www.triadgolf.com

GlobalGolf from page 24 with some perspective that was my career highlight. But I got to see the world and I finally qualified for the PGA Tour.” Bynam logged time on the Tour from 1978-80. “I had a few moments, but I just didn’t feel I could win consistently out there. So I came back to Raleigh and one of my Tour friends told me that Etonic was looking for a rep there. So I got the gig and Cobra came on the back of that six months later so I started a sales agency and had several different lines in North Carolina and South Carolina. For 20 years I had a really nice run.” In 1994, Bynam, who said he has always had “an entrepreneurial bug” in him went to a computer show in Chicago where everyone was talking about a thing called the Internet. “I said, ‘What the hell is that?’ So I got turned on to the Internet and became familiar with it maybe before a lot of people did,” Bynam said. “Then in my sales job I would talk to the pros about clubs and see all these used clubs in the corner of the shops. I thought about the clubs and the Internet and put those two ideas together, which I did and that was the birth of Global Golf E-commerce. Well, sort of. Bynam started selling on eBay and then got the break he was looking for in the golf business, although he and others never dreamed the E-commerce sale of golf clubs would grow to monumental proportions. A local Raleigh company was sold and wanted to move employees to the West Coast. Many did not want to leave, so Bynam scooped up a group of the firm’s senior developers. “They got us into our own proprietary site,” he said. “They did the whole super structure, the back end, all of that stuff was designed and built and we were off and running.” More like sprinting with GlobalGolf. com, as a value guide was created to help golfers figure out what their used clubs were worth and what they could trade for. The concept caught fire. “The whole value guide sort of brought structure and stability to the preowned marketplace because in Florida they would be selling a particular club for X and in California it would be sold for Y, so we brought this structure to it,” Bynam said. “And we supported trade-in programs from places such as Golf Galaxy and Dick’s. And I would visit with all the pros and they jumped on board, and so www.triadgolf.com

Once people saw the quality of the product they were getting, and the value proposition -- and we were going through some tough economic times -- that sort of played into it being very attractive to a lot of golfers. And then we became really good retailers.” GlobalGolf has now taken the next step with a platform launched last March called U-try. For a nominal fee, golfers can order new clubs off the site and try them out for a two-week period. For example, a driver costs $25 to test. “You get to try the club at your leisure, at your home course, using the golf ball you normally use, in an environment that is comfortable,” Bynam said. “You are on that third hole and you know you always hit it just a little short of that bunker and with the new club you hit it 5 yards past the bunker so that’s immediate feedback. Now, all of sudden that guy can feel it, touch it, and spend some time with it. If he feels like he plays better with it, he can keep that club and purchase that exact same club. If he doesn’t think he plays better with it stick it in the box and slap the return label on the box and send it back.” “We think we’ve overcome that last hurdle of people buying new clubs in the online environment,” he added. “We feel we have two nice franchises out there – one being pre-owned and one being this U-try experience.

TRIAD GOLF TODAY â&#x20AC;¢ JULY 2019

Three Triad golfers qualify for U.S. Junior Amateur

By BRAD KING

ayla Smith graduated from Burlington Williams High School in mid-June. Yet, before heading east to Ocean Isle for a beach week with her friends, Smith had business to attend to in the western part of the state. Three days after receiving her high school diploma, Smith became one of a trio of Triad golfers — Zach Brown of Bermuda Run and Nicholas Mathews of Mebane were the others — to qualify for the prestigious U.S. Junior Championship in July. Smith, 18, fired a 2-under-par 70 on June 17 to earn medalist honors in the sectional qualifier at Blowing Rock Country Club. She advances to the U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship on July 22-27 at SentryWorld in Wisconsin, where she’ll be one of 156 competitors at the Robert Trent Jones Jr.-designed course. “I’ve been running around a lot the last couple of weeks,” Smith said. “But I knew if I qualified, it’d be worth it.” Brown, an incoming freshman at High Point University and Reynolds High School grad, and Mathews, a rising senior at Eastern Alamance High School, who has verbally committed to play at North Carolina State, both shot 68 to advance out of sectional qualifying at Salisbury Country Club. Charlotte’s Drew Hackett, who will play golf at UNC-Wilmington, also shot 68 to advance. They will compete in the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship on July 15-20 at Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio. Smith said she had barely thought about beach week until a nearly two-hour rain delay stopped qualifier play late in the day. At the time, she was 1-over through 10 holes. While Smith waited in the clubhouse for the rain to pass, her friends texted her with a few photos from sunny Ocean Isle. Properly motivated and taking advantage of Blowing Rock’s softened greens, Smith came back to the course firing darts. After busting her drive on the 14th hole — an uphill par 5 that doglegs slightly right — she hit a 7 iron from 165 yards into a blind green for a tap-in eagle. “When it came off my club, I knew it was going to be good,” she said. “It was right on line with where I was aiming.” “There was really a momentum shift for me after the rain delay, which obviously helped in my favor,” Smith said. “I was 28

Last year, she had a top-5 to compete in an LPGA Symetra Tour to have a lot of expectations heading into finish in the North & South Women’s event — the Women’s Health Classic last it,” she said. “Obviously just stick to my Amateur Championship in Pinehurst.

Junior Amateur from page 28 games together. It has been my dream to go there, so it’s awesome that’s happening. I love the Carolina coaches. They’ve been very supportive.” Meanwhile, at the boy’s sectional qualifying at Salisbury CC, Brown said he could not have gotten off to a worse start after his opening drive found what is called the course’s “death bunker.” “I hit it straight in it, had to chip out and make bogey,” Brown said. “On the next tee, I told myself, ‘you only have one more shot at the U.S. Junior. Just try to make as many birdies as possible.”’ Brown, who was an alternate for the 2015 U.S. Junior during the summer after his eighth grade, proceeded to reel off three consecutive birdies to right the ship. Mathews, 17, said he was able to take advantage of some local knowledge at Salisbury CC. “I was excited that the qualifier was being played there,” he said. “I had played there a couple of years ago and was fortunate to go watch my sister play at an event there a couple of weeks prior, which allowed me to refresh myself with some course knowledge.” Mathews recorded an eagle on the par-5 third hole by chipping in. He then birdied the par-4 11th hole after capital-

izing on an approach shot to 10 feet. Another birdie was recorded on the par-5 15th after getting up-and-down from a green side bunker. His card was clean with the exception of a lone bogey. “Just a lot of solid golf,” Mathews said. “I was hitting really solid golf shots to my targets and placing the ball really well. I made a few key putts throughout the round.” In March, Mathews gained entry through a five-man playoff into one of the top amateur golf events for high school students in the country, the Dustin Johnson World Junior Golf Championship. He also earned a top-5 finish at the Donald Ross Junior Championship in Pinehurst in late 2018. “I feel good about my game,” Mathews said. “Since summer started, I’ve been working really, really hard on improving

all facets of my game. I felt like I was at a good place with my game, as well as mentally going into the event.” Mathews said he is excited about the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship next month. “It’s going to be a lot of fun and a great experience,” he said. “The way I feel about my game right now, I’d love to make it a good performance. “I want to continue playing in junior events, as well as some amateur events, and keep preparing for college golf and keep moving up in the rankings.” For Brown, July is shaping up to be a particularly busy month. He turned around two days after the U.S. Junior qualifier and captured the 2019 Carolinas Junior PGA Championship at The Club at Irish Creek to qualify for the National PGA Junior Championship at Keney Park Golf Course in Hartford, Conn., on July 30-August 2.

Brown shot 68-67 to finish at 135 (-7) for the championship. Sai (Aaron) Pha of Bluffton, S.C., finished tied with Brown to claim the two qualifying spots. After two playoff holes, Brown came out on top to claim the Boys Carolinas Junior PGA Championship title. After struggling with his putting the past two years, Brown was steered to an arm-lock method of putting -- similar to the style used by Webb Simpson and Matt Kuchar -- following the state high school championship. “Since then, I’ve played awesome,” he said. Brown committed to the University of Georgia in 2015, when he was 14 years old, but changed direction after being offered a scholarship by High Point University coach Brady Gregor. “I’m a homebody,” Brown said. “(UGA) would have been too far. I’m much happier going to High Point. I’m best friends with (rising HPU sophomore) Brandon Einstein. He’s a great player and has been like a big brother to me.” Brown said his new college coach has pushed the right buttons and helped motivate him to his recent success. “He’s a great coach and he believes in me,” Brown said of Gregor. “He gives me a pep talk, it seems like, before every tournament round. I guess that’s working.”

Chang looks to the future

By DAVID DROSCHAK ormer North Carolina prep star Jenny Chang, who set a state record with four straight 4-A individual titles, is well on her way to accomplishing her goal of playing professional golf. The sophomore at Southern Cal, one of college golf’s powerhouse programs, was once again named a firstteam All-American and recently made the cut at the U.S. Women’s Open and played on the U.S. team at the prestigious Arnold Palmer Cup. Chang is now ranked 16th in the world among female amateurs – her highest mark ever. “That’s crazy,” Chang told Triangle Golf Today on the back deck of Lochmere Golf Club during one of her rare idle moments in June. “I try not to focus on it too much but when I do see it it’s like, ‘Oh wow. I’m ranked pretty high let’s keep it going.’ I am just out there to play golf and enjoy myself.” This year’s trip to the U.S. Women’s Open in Charleston, S.C., was a little less hectic than last spring when Chang was an alternate and received a call Sunday that she was in the field. Chang was tubing on a river with friends at the time and had to rush home and drive to Alabama for the competition. She missed the cut. This time she shot 75-70-72-76 to tie for 62nd, playing a practice round with Open runner-up Lexi Thompson and her third round with former Duke star Brittany Lang. “Their ball striking is unreal and they don’t miss putts

inside of 6 feet so I know what part of the game I need to work at,” Chang said. “It helps to see that and compare myself to them.” Chang finished first in the Washington state NCAA regional before playing in the NCAA medal play, where she finished a disappointing 36th. Since graduating early from Athens Drive High School and entering college in the spring of 2018, Chang has won three times and has an additional 10 top 10 finishes. “There were some expectations going to a school like Southern Cal with such a great golf program, but I just knew I had to play my game and practice the way I’ve always practiced, and by doing that it has allowed me to free myself up in tournaments and be more comfortable,” she said. “Winning college tournaments just shows I can compete out there at that level, for sure,” Chang added. “After my first win in my first semester it was definitely a confidence booster because I wasn’t expecting much since I had just graduated from high school.” Still only 19, Chang can’t believe in a few months she’ll start her junior season with the Trojans – which may be her last.

“It is just crazy how fast it has gone,” she said. “It is pretty common for women to turn pro early but I am not quite sure yet. Going to Southern Cal has definitely built that resume for me to get noticed, but there are parts of my game I still need to work on.” Chang said she was too busy when she first arrived on the West Coast to be homesick, and it helps that her dad’s brothers lives about 45 minutes from the Southern Cal campus. But Chang does miss one thing in North Carolina. “As soon as I got home I went straight to BoJangles,” Chang said. “They definitely need a BoJangles in L.A.”

By DAVID DROSCHAK

scriptions probably come close to one round of golf a week. Many courses offer golf for $35 and sometimes less. And while some may not be in pristine condition, that should never be a factor for a game invented in a pasture. Golf was not meant to be perfect. Television has convinced the recent generations that the only way to enjoy the game is to be Wie styled, Koepka buff and on a lush carpet with magnificent views. Each current player can help keep the game alive and available to all who want to play. Hate six-hour rounds? One practice swing, pick up when the hole falls apart and move on to the next… do all this and we can be home in time for soccer practice. Better yet, take the kid with you even if she is just looking at the flowers. The day may come when she wants to hit a golf ball… imagine the places she will go. And it doesn’t have to be on a new golf course. By the way, I looked on the map; there are at least six golf courses within 20 minutes of Apex. All I know Dro is you have plenty of whine.
