talked to, they’ve had nothing but nice things to say about him. Is he a prince of the PGA? We know this, he sounds like a great KA to us. Champion and rookie. Legend and new guy. Players Dave Stockton and Wes Roach. One is in the enjoyable twilight of his career; the other just getting started on eGolf and web.com Tours. While Stockton is being showered with accolades thanks to his philanthropic efforts, Roach is qualifying on Mondays, hoping to play again on Thursday. Both are still hard at work, with one enjoying the fruits of labors on the green and the other still chipping away to get there. Lob in the litany of past champions and two of the most influential clubmakers in modern golf history, Callaway and Cleveland. A formidable flight, indeed. Scrub those irons. Clean your golf shoes. Gather your friends and set your alarm. The renewal of spring brings the passion for a game we love to play with our friends and brothers. If you don’t get out there and swing, you can’t score. Was KA destined to have a golf lineage of leaders, legends, and champions? They don’t call it a gentlemen’s game for nothing.
