– by David Droschak

Oak Valley pro honored as one of nation’s best instructors

nne Marie Goslak of Oak Valley Country Club in Advance has been named to the inaugural list of the 50 best LPGA teachers by Women's Golf Journal. Goslak, a former Wake Forest University golfer, was recognized from more than 1,700 LPGA certified professionals worldwide. “I am honored to be part of this elite group of golf professionals and thank the LPGA and Women’s Golf Journal for creating this award,” Goslak said. Goslak has been an active member of the LPGA Teaching and Club Professionals since 2003 and in 2015 she won the LPGA Southeastern Teacher of the Year award. She has also been nominated by Golf Digest for the Best in State for teaching professionals. Women's Golf Journal is a national magazine dedicated to celebrating the lifestyle of golfing women everywhere. "The depth of teaching expertise in the LPGA is astounding," said Women's Golf Journal publisher Matthew Squire. "We're honored to celebrate the teaching expertise of these coaches, and are delighted that these incredible women are finally beginning to receive the recognition and the credit they so richly deserve."

eather Angell of Winston Salem tied for third place at the 2017 LPGA National Championship at Mid Pines Inn and Golf Club in Southern Pines. The 54-hole event was divided into three divisions: the Championship division, the Challenge division, and the Senior division for ladies over 45 years of age. Wendy Doolan, a 17-year veteran of the LPGA from Lakeland, Fla., won the tournament with a three-day score of 212, beating runner-up Joanna Coe of Baltimore and third place finishers Angell and Karen Paolozzi of Atlanta. The top eight finishers in the Championship Division earned a spot in the 2018 KPMG PGA Women’s Championship, a LPGA major tournament,

Pike Wins CGA Senior Event

rlis Pike of Kernersville celebrated his 70th birthday in style, winning the North Carolina Super Senior Championship by one shot over Paul Simson of Raleigh. Pike started the day at Hendersonville Country Club two shots off the lead but was able to come from behind using an eagle and two birdies for a second round 68. Pike’s two day total of 137 was enough for him to win his sixth Carolinas Golf Association Championship. “I love playing in these, but I really play to win,” said Pike. Simson at 2-under was the only other golfer to finish under par. First-round leader Ron Carpenter of Creedmoor placed third. In his first Super Senior Championship, Lawrence Hicks of Greensboro finished alone in fourth with a two-day total of 143. Meanwhile, Mike Sprout of Hickory came from behind with a second-round 67 to win the 70+ Division. Sprouts used a bogey-free card with three birdies to propel him to the victory. His two day total of 1-under was one shot clear of Rick Kline of Davidson.

Bill Harvey Memorial Junior created

ill Harvey left a lasting mark on golf in the Carolinas during his long and distinguished amateur career. Now the golfing community can celebrate his life with the TYGA Triad Bill Harvey Memorial Junior Open in late October. The inaugural tournament is scheduled for Oct. 28-29 at Bryan Park in Brown Summit and will be conducted by the TYGA Triad Chapter and Precision Golf.

Pinehurst Resort rock’n golf with opening of The Cradle

TRIAD GOLF TODAY •FALL 2017

inehurst Resort’s new 9-hole short course – measuring a total of 789 yards -- has opened. Designed by golf architect Gil Hanse, The Cradle features holes ranging from 56 to 127 yards each. Mere steps from the resort clubhouse, it is the same area where, in 1898, Dr. Leroy Culver carved the first nine holes out of the sand at Pinehurst. Over the next century, Pinehurst came to be referred to as the Cradle of American Golf. “Pinehurst’s place in golf goes back almost as far as the time the game was first introduced in America,” says Pinehurst CEO Bob Dedman Jr. “As we embark on the latest era at Pinehurst, it’s symbolic that our newest course sits on the same ground as the original first holes of golf at Pinehurst. We look forward to watching players of all ages and all abilities enjoy golf at The Cradle.” For those familiar with U.S. Open golf at Pinehurst, the new 9-hole course, opened Sept. 30, will occupy the space that the pros use for the driving range. Hanse’s design incorporates the native sandscape and wiregrass common to the original courses of Pinehurst. With holes that meander along the rolling terrain, The Cradle’s greens subtly blend into the surrounding landscape and are protected by rough-hewn bunkers, all features that have long been hallmarks of Pinehurst golf. “The beauty of golf at Pinehurst is that it is very natural, traditional and classic, especially architecturally,” says Hanse, who designed The Olympic Golf Course in Brazil. “That Pinehurst character, we believe, permeates through The Cradle. These nine little golf holes are on a historic piece of land, and we feel like each hole has its own identity that fosters the creativity golfers have enjoyed here for more than a century.” Greens fees for The Cradle are $50 this fall, and will vary seasonably. Kids 17 and under play free when accompanied by a paying adult, and resort guests may book tee times in advance. Public tee times are available 24 hours in advance. Tee times can be made by calling 1-800-ITS-GOLF. “Like the Putter Boy, who now overlooks play on The Cradle, the Golf Lad has been a lasting symbol of the genuine joy and passion for golf at Pinehurst since the game arrived,” said Pinehurst president Tom Pashley. “We hope golfers will share those same feelings on a short course designed to be fun and challenging while at the same time inspiring others to take up the game we all love.” The opening of The Cradle and expansion of Thistle Dhu, the resort’s putting course, are two elements of a multiyear plan Pinehurst unveiled in November 2016. Following the successful opening of the Deuce, a new tavern overlooking the 18th hole of Pinehurst No. 2, Pinehurst announced it hired Hanse to build the short course and begin a redesign of Pinehurst No. 4. Hanse will break ground on the No. 4 redesign in October. www.triadgolf.com

Hanse joins list of prestigious Pinehurst golf course architects

By BRAD KING olf course architect Gil Hanse and partner Jim Wagner are performing design work at Pinehurst No. 4, along with the resort’s new short course, which opened Sept. 30. Hanse’s firm was selected in 2011 to design the golf course in Brazil that hosted the return of golf in last summer’s Olympic Games. Since then, the duo has built Mossy Oak in West Point, Miss., and Streamsong Black in Bowling Green, Fla., among others. They've made restorations to Los Angeles Country Club, Merion Golf Club in Philadelphia and Winged Foot Golf Club in New York. A native New Yorker, the 53-year-old Hanse has lived for most of his professional career in the Philadelphia area, where he and his wife, Tracey, raised three children. Triad Golf Today sat down with Hanse to talk about his work at Pinehurst and some of the other highlights of his career. TGT: I’m guessing that when a place known as the “Home of American Golf” asks you to perform a significant task that will bear your name, that’s got to be pretty exciting … and maybe a little daunting as well?

HANSE: Probably a little bit of both. It’s first and foremost an honor. We look at it that way. Whenever your name is mentioned alongside a place where Donald Ross obviously set the stage in such a great way and more recently the work Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw did to restore course No. 2 and then to be given the opportunity to put our work right next door to course No. 2 on that beautiful piece of ground — it’s a great opportunity. TGT: How does it feel to be added to the list of legendary golf course architects who have made names for themselves at Pinehurst?

HANSE: That may be the most daunting part because you don’t want to let the side down, if you know what I mean. My partner Jim Wagner and I just want to make sure it’s up www.triadgolf.com

to the best we can do and certainly hopefully that’s good enough to be up to the high standard that’s already been set by Pinehurst. TGT: How much time have you spent around Pinehurst during the years? Has it been a place you visited regularly? HANSE: I had been there a couple of times obviously to study and look, and once with the American Society of Golf Course Architects, and I’ve come to the Tufts Archives a handful of times to do research for other Donald Ross projects. It’s a place where I’ve spent a decent amount of time but not a dramatic amount. I have a general feeling and understanding of the area. I’m looking forward to becoming more educated by spending quite a bit of time there as we’re building No. 4.

TGT: What did it mean to you and your firm to be selected ahead of many of the world’s most legendary golf course architects to design the Olympic Course in Rio? How did that rate among your most important career milestones?

HANSE: It has to be right up there, if not the most important. Within the golf industry I think we were a known commodity but I think to the general public our name didn’t come to the tip of your tongue when you talked about modern golf course architects. I think now when people mention architects who are busy and have done good work, our name gets mentioned along with all the others. But I think ultimately it gave us a chance to put on display on a pretty big stage our thoughts about golf course architecture and how we feel a golf course should be presented,

being very natural and very rustic, with character, lot of strategy, lot of thought.

TGT: You’ve had some other plum assignments during the years … Brookline, Winged Foot, LA Country Club, Merion Golf Club and Oakland Hills all come to mind. Where does the Pinehurst project rank among the most important assignments thus far in your career?

HANSE:It’s giving us a chance to put our work alongside the works of arguably the greatest golf course architect of all time in Donald Ross and the guys that we respect the most in the business -- Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw -- and to hopefully forever have our name associated with the great resort at Pinehurst. We take a restorative view. And if, at the end of the day, that’s successful, we’re really excited about it. TRIAD GOLF TODAY •FALL 2017

For Ibarguan, who became a golf pro at Finley in 1979, the arrival of Love in Chapel Hill meant so much more. “I remember being very excited to hear that Davis Love III was coming in as a freshman, not because I knew a lot about his game,” Ibarguen said. “I was pumped that his dad, Davis Love Jr. would certainly be spending time at UNC Finley watching his son. He was one of the lead instructors in the Golf Digest Golf School’s and in my opinion perhaps the greatest golf teacher of all time. I had the opportunity to watch and learn from Davis Love Jr. during his visits. I consider him a great mentor for me in my teaching during that period.” With brother Mark soon joining Davis at UNC, Love Jr. would often hand write letters to his sons on yellow legal pads, and send them the latest and greatest pieces of golf equipment. “I remember Davis had the first ball compression gauge I’d ever seen,” Ibarguen said. “That was very cool and I remember we tested all the different balls in the golf shop at the time. As I recall, he mostly played PING irons in those days but his Dad would funnel new things for his experimentation. Truth be told, the times I played with Davis he could have played with a broomstick and played great. He always kicked my butt and helped me realize that I needed to focus on becoming as good a teacher as I could be!” As Love progressed through UNC under the direction of coach Devon Brouse, it became clear with each passing tournament that pro golf was right around the corner. “How did UNC shape me? It showed me that I probably wasn’t a good enough student to be at the University of North Carolina, so after three years I was a better player than my grade point average,” said Love, who left college early for the pros. “My dad was really good every year telling me what I needed to work on and after my third year of school he told me that I would probably make it on the PGA Tour, and that my second year I would prob

AS TIMELESS AS THE GAME THAT

INSPIRED IT. Beneath the longleaf pines in the heart of North Carolina is a place where golf is more than a game, it’s a way of life. A place with more courses than days of the week. And more championships than anywhere in America. The place is Pinehurst. And it’s waiting for you.

ably win a tournament. I said, ‘OK, I’m gone, I’ll turn pro.’ And he was exactly right. I kept my tour card my first year and then I won in my second year and I never really struggled to keep my card after that first year.” Love was a three-time All-ACC and All-American golfer at UNC, winning five college titles, including the 1984 ACC Championship, and is a member of the ACC’s 50th Anniversary Team. “I played tons of tournaments when I was at Carolina, every one of them for three years,” Love said. “I played against the best players in the world – guys who are still out there playing on the Champions Tour – so it was a great three years for me. I grew up a lot.” Love also matured as a player under Brouse. “Coach was big on goal setting and practice routines,” Love said. “And we had Dr. Richard Coop, a great sports psychologist, at our disposal. All of it showed me the basics of what it was going to take to be a professional golfer, for sure.” Few have been more consistent on the PGA Tour than Love, nicknamed DL3 during the social media age. He is the only player to win on the PGA Tour in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and 2010s. “It really makes me happy that he has achieved the greatest accolade you can get in this game,” Inman said. “He hasn’t done it with smoke and mirrors; he has done it with a lot of hard work. “The thing that really makes me smile the most is he has won five times at Harbourtown (the MCI Heritage) on a golf course that is my favorite tournament golf course because it was really tight and you had to place it here-and-there. To me, it is one of the golfing anomalies of all anomalies that Davis won so many times there. That just shows how much he progressed from a youngster up to college, and when he got out there on Tour he had the pedal to the metal. He carried that big stick; everybody knew about him when he got out there. He already had that reputation and it served him well. Power is where the game went … and my brother always told me a good big man will always beat a good little man any day.”

Harvey’s list of accomplishments keeps growing Kernersville golfer ties father with 8th CGA title

By DAVID DROSCHAK

cott Harvey was playing a practice round at the 2017 U.S. Open with Jordan Spieth, Jim Furyk and Steve Stricker when he was reminded exactly what he is – an amateur golfer from North Carolina with a full time job. As the co-owner of the property management firm S & K Triad Properties with wife Kim, Harvey’s magical foursome in the sun was interrupted by a slight problem that had nothing to do with a wayward drive or three-putt. “I started getting messages about water leaking in a rental property so I spent two holes on the phone trying to get things lined up for repairs and straightened out,” he said laughing. “But for the most part the good outweighs the bad.” Harvey, who will turn 40 in May, is generally regarded as one of the top mid amateur golfers in the world. His list of accomplishments in just the last three years still has him shaking his head. 12

“I wanted to win a USGA event and I did that; I wanted to play in the Walker Cup and I did that; I wanted to play in The Masters and U.S. Open and I did that,” he said. “You put those things out there (as goals) and it all seems so unrealistic, and honestly when I think about it I can’t believe I’ve done those things. “So now, I don’t even know where to go with golf. I thought I would struggle finding motivation, but what I’ve learned is I just love the game so much there is nothing that can ever stop me from playing and being into the game of golf.” His motivation prior to all of his recent success came from his hero – father Bill Harvey, who himself was a North Carolina golfing legend. Bill Harvey passed away in October 2013 after a long battle with cancer, having won eight Carolinas Golf Association championships and played in 18 U.S. Amateur Championships. His CGA titles spanned four decades with his Carolinas Senior Amateur victory in 1990 his last title.

When Scott Harvey was passed over this year for the Walker Cup team, he quickly entered the North Carolina Mid Amateur in September and won the event by a whopping nine shots. He was the only player under par. The victory was a milestone of sorts as Harvey matched his father’s CGA victory total of eight with still plenty of golf in the tank. “I could talk for three days about stuff with my dad, but honestly it’s not one story that sticks out. He was everything to me,” Harvey said. “Scott is very much like his dad in that he is honest and straightforward,” said CGA executive director Jack Nance. “He and his dad’s loyalty to the CGA are deep. Scott will always have opportunities to play at the highest level internationally, but he is diligent to check in with us to make sure we know where his heart is. I always encourage him to compete at the highest level possible because when he succeeds we all succeed. But unlike other national players, Scott makes it a point

to compete in CGA events somehow and some way during the year.” Bill Harvey missed out of seeing his son hoist the 2014 U.S. Mid Amateur Championship trophy, or Scott taking home the 2015 South American Amateur in Peru, or strolling the fairways at Augusta. However, the elder Harvey was around to see his son take quite an unorthodox path in golf. Scott Harvey was a college golfer at High Point University before joining the professional mini tour circuit – essentially the minor leagues of golf. Scott more than held his own, winning some, staying afloat financially (which is no easy task) and hanging out with guys like Bubba Watson. “I didn’t like the lifestyle and how serious everybody was -- like it was a life or death situation -- nobody seemed like they were having fun,” Harvey said. “It just wasn’t for me – period. Bubba and I were roommates and we had fun playing putt-putt and goofing off after golf, but everybody Continued on page 13 www.triadgolf.com

Scott Harvey from page 12 was just so serious. Amateur golf is just totally different.” After the mini tour experience, Harvey returned to Greensboro to take over his father’s driving range on High Point Road. When the city stuck a road through the range, Harvey started his own property management firm – and regained his amateur status as he was about to turn 30. “No, leaving pro golf wasn’t a hard decision,” he said. “It’s like having a bad job, you feel like all the people around you are miserable so it’s not that hard to get away from it.” For the first time in awhile, Harvey was having fun playing golf again. “That kind of got my flame lit again and I started playing some,” he said. “In 2007 was the first time I tried to

www.triadgolf.com

qualify for the U.S. Amateur and I had never considered it before. I made it to the Olympic Club, which was neat.” Then in 2008, a buddy threw out a suggestion to Harvey. “He said, ‘You should try the U.S. Mid Am’ and I said ‘What the hell is a Mid Am?’ That’s 100 percent the truth. So, I tried that and I qualified for that and the rest is history.” Mid amateur golf is competition among golfers 30 years and older. With just one CGA tournament this year – even though it was a victory – Harvey will likely see his six-year reign as CGA Player of the Year end in 2018 with Clemson sophomore and Raleigh native Doc Redman winning the U.S. Amateur and finishing second in the Western Amateur. Like most things, the laid back Harvey is OK with that.

“It has gotten kind of ridiculous anyway,” he said. “I am even tired of seeing me.” Harvey is the salt of the earth, having learned work ethic as a youngster, picking up golf ball after golf ball at his father’s driving range. “From the time I could carry a 5-gallon bucket around we hand-picked balls every single night,” Harvey said. “If it got dark your butt better be at the range. If I was late or was playing basketball with buddies my dad didn’t cut me any slack. We had a 5-gallon bucket in one hand and half a broom stick with a coffee can bolted to end of it. It was crazy. I don’t even know how to guess how many millions of golf balls I picked up.” About as crazy as Harvey’s trek through golf’s “fun zone.” “My whole existence was hanging

out there with my dad, playing golf on the weekend with him and his cronies and hearing all the stories,” Harvey said. “He was so supportive; never really tried to push me into the game, he sort of let it be and kept it fun for me, kept it in perspective. When it came to golf it was like ‘it’s available if you want it.’ And I wanted it. My dad was an extremely good golfer and did so many things, and I always put pressure on myself to do things that he had done – to be as good as him. He used to tell me ‘I’ve played golf my whole life and I know you can do it.’ He always believed in me and kept my confidence going. If not for him I definitely would not have done anything that I’ve done up until today.” “Scott has proven he is the real deal both on and off the golf course,” added Nance.

Old Town Club new commodity in national rankings

By DAVID DROSCHAK

ith more than 650 courses scattered across 100 counties from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Outer Banks, the competition among North Carolina golf layouts can be intense. Any private, public or resort course that claims “they don’t care” about being ranked among the state’s best is, well, lying. Rankings from national and statewide golf publications have always been a big deal, with such notoriety leading to increased memberships for private clubs, more rounds for daily fee courses and additional prestige for resorts among the golf traveling public. That’s what makes the recent moves up the rankings by Old Town Club in Winston-Salem noteworthy. A classic 1939 Perry Maxwell design, the private club located within a 9-iron of the Wake Forest University campus began garnering attention from raters after a 2013 renovation from the architectural firm Coore & Crenshaw. The most recent accolade for the club came in September when Old Town was ranked No. 59 in the United States by GOLF Magazine. The only other North Carolina courses ranked in the top 100 were Pinehurst No. 2 (10th) and Wade Hampton (58th). In April, Old Town was also ranked 23rd in Golfweek Magazine’s Classic list – that was good for second in the state behind Pinehurst No. 2 (14th). “Both Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw have long hailed Perry Maxwell among their favorite classic architects,” said Dunlop White III, the longtime golf chairman of Old Town. “For one, Coore grew up playing Old Town at Wake Forest University, while Crenshaw grew up playing Austin Country Club, another Maxwell design in Texas. Given their early exposure to Maxwell, both have long revered their predecessor. So naturally, when you layer two of the best designers today on top of one of the best architects of the Golden Age genre, you have the foundation for something unique and again very special.” The physical size and artistic detail of the restored design features help set Old Town apart. The layout possesses 80-acres of fairway — almost three times more fairway than the average course, and nearly twice as much as 36-hole complexes nearby. Today, in more old-school tradition, one single swath of fairway connects holes 4, 7, 17, 8, 9 and 18 successively without interruption of rough or vegetation. “There’s nothing else like it around here,” White said. Coore & Crenshaw also exposed the drama of the setting with the removal of thousands of trees and overgrown vegetation. “The visual transformation is mind-boggling as breathtaking panoramas have been recaptured 18

across the heart of the golf course in every direction, reclaiming its big-boned presence and linkslike feel,” White said. “At places, golfers have rediscovered interior views measuring nearly one mile long.” Maxwell’s naturalistic bunker style, containing jagged-laced edges, have been restored, and the club made a decision to return to native riverbed sand in lieu of white commercial selections to complement a more natural rugged appearance. “While our pre-restoration bunkers were buffered by turf maintained at rough height, our restored bunkers are buffered by closely-cropped turf at fairway height,” White said. “The tight mowing pattern lures golf balls like a magnet, and as a result these bunkers play exponentially larger than ever before. Few courses outside Melbourne’s Sand-belt and the British Isles maintain their bunkers in this fashion. Again, unique and special!” In addition, the signature Maxwell green contours are always a draw, including Old Town’s double green, which has been doubled in size to more closely resemble its original source of inspiration at The Old Course at St. Andrews, home of seven double greens. “Besides our green undulations, what distinguishes us the most is our tilting fairways that produce a variety of stances and hanging lies,” said Phil Thomas, Old Town’s next club president. “And when we’re lucky enough to play it firm and fast, the fairways literally come to life, generating a variety of bounces that help make the course so fun

and entirely different from one day to the next.” Joe Passov, architecture editor for GOLF Magazine, just released an hour long podcast about the importance of design variety (https://soundcloud.com/golf_podcast/the-top-100-coursesin-the-world). He claims that nothing stimulates interest in golf courses more than design variety. Toughness and length alone no longer equate to greatest, he says. As for trends in the rankings, coastal links courses and inland courses with sandy soils that play firm and fast are carrying the day in the rankings. In addition, tradition and heritage are also relevant as classic golf course courses restorations are soaring up the charts. “The new buzzwords in golf design today are variety, memorability, character, mystery, interest, fun, quirk and charm. Coore & Crenshaw has reinvigorated our golf course with many of these elements,” White said. “The (2013) restoration has really moved the needle for us in all the national rankings and has also proven to be a big time game changer in attracting new members from around the state and region,” added White. “It has enabled us to develop a strong national membership as well. Our Maxwell golf course has always been an attraction, but when paired with a Coore & Crenshaw restoration, it has culminated in widespread interest and appeal -- far greater than we could have ever imagined.” www.triadgolf.com

age of 31. He's on the young side, but he's well prepared to be the head coach at University of North Carolina, a position he earned in July after the dismissal of Andrew Sapp. He may not have all the coaching boxes checked yet, but he's working on the list. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With anything in life, there's a learning curve,â&#x20AC;? DiBitetto said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You're out recruiting with and against so many of the other top coaches. Coaches across the country are fantastic. You can walk down the cart path or be on the tee box with another coach and you can pick their brains: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What is your philosophy? How do you do qualifying?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I try to be a sponge and learn from anyone who is willing to share information.â&#x20AC;? DiBitetto has a leg up on that learning curve. He spent the previous six years as the Tar Heels' assistant coach, the final three as associate head coach.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be at a place like this, you're able to provide these young people with a firstclass education and combine that with a first-class athletic experience,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are only so many schools in the country that can truly say that, and it's something I do not take lightly.â&#x20AC;? DiBitetto has practiced what he preaches when it comes to excelling in both academics and athletics. At UNC-Charlotte, he graduated cum laude with a degree in business management. On the course, DiBitetto was an honorable mention AllAmerican, leading the 49ers to a tie for third place at the NCAA Championships his junior year. As a senior, he led the team to a consensus No. 1 ranking during the season before they won a third straight Atlantic 10 title. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The guys know I've been there and done that,â&#x20AC;? said DiBitetto, who was an assistant at Charlotte after he graduated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, I didn't win a national championship, but to take a program like UNCCharlotte that far it's something that's special to me, and I get to learn from that. It's not about what I did and what my teammates did, but it's an understanding

Head coach Andrew DiBitetto and assistant Matt Clark

UNC coach from page 20 that we all need to realize what it takes to get to a certain level.” DiBitetto is now focused on the kind of coach he wants to be. The dynamics of leading a golf program are different from team sports, where coaches evaluate how players' skills work with teammates. In golf, a coach relies on a unique set of tools. During tournaments, for example, he follows his players around the course to provide support – while trying not to be a distraction or a burden. “I love to be with one of our guys for 18 complete holes,” he says. “I believe in rhythm and flow. Sometimes when you're bouncing in and out, it can positively affect it. But if a guy is 5 or 6 under par, and you jump in, you can rattle him a little bit. "It depends on the situation. I try to take my coaching hat off and put my caddie hat on. You really have to know your guys. You know you can say something in a moment and it's going to help him. One guy you might need to make a joke to kind of lighten the mood. Another guy, you might need to get in his face a little bit. Each guy is different.” Like most high-level coaches, DiBitetto has a firm grip on what it takes to be successful. He takes over a North Carolina squad that finished 18th at the NCAA Championships in 2017 following a 10-year absence for the program. But even with three returning seniors, the coach cautions that success will not come easily. “Every team in the country, in their first team meeting, is going to talk about www.triadgolf.com

winning a national championship, but only a select few are going to do the things it takes to win a national championship,” he said. “We need to make sure we are one of those teams that are willing to do the work day in and day out.” North Carolina expects to be a strong squad this year with seniors Ben Griffin and William Register, who begin their senior seasons tied for second in UNC career stroke average. “We’re deep and we're talented, but I don't think that's enough,” DiBitetto said. “To be one of the best teams in the country there's a whole lot of small details that will mean a lot to us: having high golf IQs, having proper attitudes, being resilient. We have to be competitive at practice and in qualifying on a daily basis. We're going to go to work on the small details every day that are going to make a difference.” And DiBitetto will work on his own finer points, the ones that will determine his success as the leader of UNC's golf program. He knows he's in the right setting, working with a team. The only time he ever felt like an individual athlete was after college when he played on a pro development tour and at PGA qualifying school. “My entire life, I've been a team guy,” he said. “I grew up playing hockey. I was always the captain on those teams. For the first time in my life, I was out there (competing) on my own. I was still motivated and driven, but I felt different, almost selfish in a way. I just got more joy and satisfaction being around young people and helping them.”

McPhaul gearing up for success as new N.C. State coach

By TIM PEELER ress McPhaul remembers the end of his freshman season at North Carolina State, and not fondly. His confidence was shot. His golf game was crap. He just wanted to go home to Sanford and not come back. A bit disconsolate, McPhaul stopped by head coach Richard Sykesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; office late in the spring of 1991, not completely convinced he would come back to Raleigh that next fall. Before he ever got those words out of his mouth, however, Sykes pulled out a closet full of Wolfpack golf gear. Back then, it was rare for starters in the program to receive more than a couple of logoed golf shirts and some matching pants. If you werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t among the top five players -- and McPhaul hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been all year -- you generally got nothing. Sykes was trying to subtly let McPhaul know that he was in the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to give him a signal that he was going to be a part of my team,â&#x20AC;? Sykes says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I gave him some gear hoping he would realize I thought he had a future. He read it exactly the way I intended it. It made him feel like he was going to be a big part of what we did while he was here.â&#x20AC;? And, as it turns out, not just the immediate future as a player in the program: This summer, following Sykesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; retirement after 46 years as the Wolfpack menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf coach, McPhaul was hired as his replacement following seven years as head coach at Vanderbilt (2000-06) and 11 years as the head coach at East Carolina (2007-17). For McPhaul, 44, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard not to think of that as the seminal moment of his playing career and professional life.

McPhaul from page 22 “You know, he gave me a big pile of stuff,” McPhaul says. “It was just clothes, but I got the feeling that he was trying to tell me that he still believed in me, that I was still part of it all. “I can tangibly and vividly remember, ‘I want to produce for that man.’ My confidence started to shift that day.” The decision by athletic director Debbie Yow and deputy athletics director for external relations Chris Boyer to hire McPhaul couldn’t have made Sykes happier, even though he was purposely not involved in the process. It was a move that was overwhelmingly well-received in the Wolfpack community. “Press will do a great job,” says former teammate and fellow cocaptain Mark Slawter. “These young men will have a tremendous leader and role model for years to come. The men’s golf program is in good hands.” Why, though?

Sykes says it’s not just because he’s a product of the school and the program. “The thing about Press is that he is a player’s coach,” Sykes says. “He cares about people. He takes a special interest in each person, which is not something that’s easy to do. He has a gift for it. He inspires other people. That was pretty easy to spot in him.” It’s something that Sykes saw long before McPhaul did. As a player for the Wolfpack, McPhaul helped the team advance to three NCAA Championship appearances, including an 8th place finish in 1995, matching the highest in school history. As a senior, he was named team co-captain and helped the Wolfpack win the 1996 NCAA East Regional. “After I graduated, he encouraged me to enter the profession, which is not something I thought I wanted to do,” McPhaul says. “I was just biding time to turn pro. Then I really started to sense that my skills were more suited to relationships than they were getting the ball in the hole. “Richard was a big part of encouraging me at each step. I tell him that

most days of the year I have him to thank for this.” Sykes hired McPhaul as an assistant coach in 1998, and McPhaul helped re-start the Wolfpack’s women’s program with head coach Page Marsh in 1999. In 2000, former N.C. State athletic director Todd Turner hired McPhaul at Vanderbilt at the tender age of 27, beginning his head coaching career. He took the Commodores to their first NCAA Championship appearance in 2003 and three regional appearances. He took East Carolina to the NCAA regionals four times and their first NCAA championship appearance in 2012. After two previous head coaching jobs, he believes he’s matured as a coach, especially in his abilities to develop talent. And he couldn’t be more thrilled to have the facilities of Lonnie Poole Golf Course, the Carol Johnson Poole Clubhouse and the Short-Game Practice Facility near the University Club, none of which was at N.C. State when he was a player. “The only place we had to hit balls was in the parking lots of

Carter-Finley Stadium,” McPhaul says. “And then we had to go pick up our own balls. To be honest, that was a good thing. It made us be more concise with the targets we were selecting and then when you were picking them up, you could see your dispersion pattern. “What we have to do now is make sure with all of the great facilities we have that we don’t stifle creativity or focus. We have to find ways to create competitiveness and make each other better.” McPhaul has already won a tournament at his new home, coaching East Carolina to the Wolfpack Fall Intercollegiate championship there last October. He also started his Wolfpack career with a bang, taking the team title at the Golfweek Conference Challenge in Iowa in late September in just his second tournament as the Wolfpack coach. Sykes has no doubts that his protégé will bring home more titles in the future. “He’ll take the program further than it’s ever been,” Sykes says.

Dramatic ace seals Tanglewood title

By STEVE WILLIAMS

ark Nieters held a two-shot lead when the Tanglewood club championship reached the treacherous 16th hole of the final round Aug. 27. But some 243 yards later, Nieters’ lead doubled to four strokes with an ace. Greg Howard, the closest contender, made par on the hole but ended up losing two strokes. “I knew I striped it as soon as I made contact. It was one of those perfect-balance swings. The ball never left the flag … no curve at all,” Nieters said of shot hit with a 19-degree hybrid. Nieters wasn’t convinced until he actually saw his ball in the cup, even after looking through a rangefinder and not seeing his ball on the green. Playing partners Lee Ross, Kenny Davis and Howard were pretty sure, though. “You could clearly see the ball mark about 3 or 4 feet short but directly in line with the pin and there was nothing else visible,” Nieters said. “But I kept thinking there’s no way it went in.” Pars on the final two holes wrapped up

the round and a five-shot margin of victory for Nieters’ first Tanglewood championship. His previous claims to fame were back-to-back club titles at Salem Glen in 2004 and 2005, and earlier this year with a victory the North Carolina Players Championship.

By DAVID DROSCHAK he Duke University Golf Club, which hosted the 1962 NCAA men’s golf championship and was designed by legendary architect Robert Trent Jones Sr., turns 60 years old on Sept. 26. A golf course at the university was first envisioned in the early 1930s by coaches Wallace Wade and Eddie Cameron, and President William Preston. By 1941, actual plans were drawn up by the renowned architect, Perry Maxwell, on a site that is now the location of the Duke Faculty Club. The original golf course construction was planned to begin prior to World War II, but when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941, the plans were put on hold by Wade, then Duke’s athletic director. At the conclusion of the war, the plans resurfaced and the present site of 120 acres was selected. The property was carefully chosen for its unique blend of unusual elevation changes throughout its mildly rolling terrain. This site would be worthy of major championships and was planned to have its fairways free from the suffocation of surrounding home sites. It typified the Piedmont of North Carolina www.triadgolf.com

at its best, sprinkled with meandering streams and blessed with a variety of hardwoods, towering pines, and beautiful shrubbery. Duke University sought out Jones Sr., whose golf course design work was widely respected. Dumpy Hagler, Duke golf coach (1933-1973), put it simply: “He was one of the best designers in the whole world.” On Sept. 26, 1957, Duke University Golf Club opened to the public. Records indicate that the Board of Trustees viewed the ceremonial dedication with much interest. The Duke course was immediately labeled as one of the top university golf facilities in the nation. The attention was great enough to attract the1962 men’s NCAA Golf Championship. Ironically, there was a soon to be famous golf course architect playing in that NCAA field from Yale University. His name was Rees Jones, eldest son of the Duke golf course designer. In 1988, Duke athletic director Tom Butters recognized that the golf course desperately needed restoration. The passing years had been more than unkind to the once incomparable Duke layout. The compacted greens and fairways were struggling to grow grass,

its tees were badly worn, and the sand bunkers were in need of repair. While no one denied the magnificent routing of its holes, the condition of the course had become unacceptable by Duke University standards. The Board of Trustees approved an endowment program that was conceived and developed by Butters for the purpose of funding the restoration of the Duke course to the position it had once held. The five-year plan necessary to achieve this goal was put in place, with the final major construction to begin in June 1993 and be completed by April 1994. Rees Jones, now a master architect in his own right, was chosen for the redesign. Rees had completed renovations for several U.S. Open venues such as Brookline, Hazeltine, Baltusrol, and Congressional. Throughout the redesign, Rees scrutinized every shot possibility, observed and considered every angle so as to insure that each nuance of the golf course would be subtle, yet perfectly placed. In Robert Trent Jones Sr.’s words, “(Duke’s)golf holes were on the ground, just lying there, waiting to be grassed over.”

Summerlin, App State win fall opener

TRIAD COLLEGIATE CHECKLIST

By STEVE WILLIAMS

ppalachian State’s players had to wait five months to erase the memory of a last-place finish in the Sun Belt Conference championship in April. Mission accomplished for the Mountaineers. Led by sophomore Tripp Summerlin’s individual title, Appalachian opened the fall schedule with a victory in the 16-team Patriot Intercollegiate hosted by George Mason University in late September. Summerlin had four top-25 finishes as a freshman but tied for 47th in the Sun Belt tournament, ending the year with an average of 74.5. His best tournament mark was a tie for 12th. But the former Rockingham County star came out strong at Chantilly National Golf Club to begin the fall campaign. He fired an openinground 67 and went wireto-wire for a four-shot victory. His first round included an eagle and five birdies and he went on to lead the tournament with 14 birdies. Summerlin added a 72 in the afternoon round of the opening day and closed with a 70. Appalachian, in claiming its first team tournament win since the fall of 2014, rallied from five-shot deficit by closing with a 290 and passing 36-hole leader Delaware, which tied for second with Florida Gulf Coast, three shots back of the Mountaineers. Junior Alex Burris of Greensboro was second for App State despite opening with 79. His 70-71 finish enabled him to climb into a tie for 17th in the 95-player field. NOTES: Former Ledford standout Meghan Holbrooks, whose championship of the Conference Carolinas Tournament last spring was one of five top-10s in 201617, began her senior season at Pfeiffer by winning the Converse Fall Invitational by seven shots ... Holbrooks followed up a week later with a tie for third in the King University Invitational ... Grant Powell earned co-medalist honors in Greensboro College’s fall opener, posting a 6-underpar 138 (70-68) in the Transylvania Fall Invitational. Powell, a sophomore from Northwest Guilford, was medalist in the same tournament a year ago.

By BETSEY MITCHELL

I can certainly relate to your gripe about the reverse signal on a cart. Mainly because I was one of the abusers of this with a hearing problem that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow me to hear high-pitched sounds. Some of my favorite people in golf are course superintendents. I always enjoyed talking to those guys and appreciated the work they put in to give us such beautiful courses. I know that many of them felt cart abusers were one of the worst problems they had to deal with when it came to presenting a pristine course that all members demand. I fully understand that some golfers, because of age or other health related problems need to be able to ride closer to greens in order to play. Been there, done that, but I never abused the situation. One of my pet peeves was when you had two handicapped golfers in a foursome and instead of riding together they always split up so both carts could drive right up to the tees and greens with their flags flying. Oh well, enough griping. Let me grab my blue flag and head for the links.
