Anyone in Utah or close enough to come here for a golf tournament Thursday, I’m calling you out right now! My good friend, severely wounded Iraq war veteran and golf buddy Bryant Jacobs is hosting a charity golf tournament. This tournament is in association with Homes For Our Troops, an organization which builds homes for injured veterans at no cost to the vet. The organization provided my buddy Bryant a beautiful, handicap accessible home and simply handed him the key. That is in credible. Now Bryant is turning the tables and helping Homes For Our Troops raise money to provide the same great service to other wounded veterans. He’s playing it forward so to speak.

My Group

My foursome will include the Director of Golf at River Oaks and my good friend Guy Lester and two wounded war veterans. We’re going to be tough to beat!

More Information

For more information, visit this link at the Homes For Our Troops web site.

For my story on my pal Bryant, you can find it at The Golf Space or Hooked On Golf Blog.

There’s also a recent feature on Bryant and the tournament in the Salt Lake Tribune.

Too Many 59’s?

Written by: Tony Korologos | Sunday, August 1st, 2010

Prior to 2010, a total of THREE 59’s had been shot on the PGA Tour, ever:

Al Geiberger: 1977 Memphis Classic
David Duval: 1999 Bob Hope
Chip Beck: 1991 Las Vegas Invitational

Today the 2nd 59 of this season was recorded in grand fashion, as Stuart Appleby surged for a victory at the Old White course and the new tour event, the Greenbriar Classic. The first 59 of this season was by Paul Goydos at the John Deere.

Is this just random happenstance, or do they need to set up the courses a little tougher for these pros? The gear has been limited now for a couple of years, ball technology and driver CC’s limited..

Stuart Appleby breaks four year drought with a win at Old White. Oh, and he shot a 59. Yawn.

I’m very happy for Stuart Appleby and his amazing final round 59 at the Old White course, Greenbriar Classic. Look at this series of scores: 66, 68, 65, 59. That is super sub par. Perhaps next year they’ll have to set up Old White a little tougher?

Good to see Apples in the win column again

I was getting used to Appleby starting out the year with a victory in week #1 in Hawaii, and having not done that for a few years must have thrown his body clock off or something. The victory couldn’t happen to a cooler cat. Stuart is liked across the board.

Can I lay a bet down in Vegas now on Appleby winning in week #1 of the 2011 PGA Tour season?

Hilton Head Golf Suggestions?

I’ve heard a lot about Palmetto Dunes but never played it. I may have an opportunity to head down to South Carolina soon to experience some Hilton Head golf. It will be a tough adjustment going from 4300 feet and dry air to sea level and high humidity.

They’ve got three courses at Palmetto, a Fazio (George, Tom’s uncle), a Robert Trent Jones and an Arthur Hills. The course pictured is the Robert Trent Jones course at Palmetto.

Of course there’s always Harbor Town. It is cool to test your skills at a course where the PGA Tour regularly plays.

Any suggestions?
