Jeff Hull tees off at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow in the Nationwide Tour's South Georgia Classic. He's got his work cut out -- in addition to the up-and-coming talent, the stellar field contains many veterans of the PGA TOUR, including several tournament winners. Check out the starting lineup at http://www.pgatour.com/tournaments/h092/tee-times.html.
Other Lynn Blake students in the field are John Riegger (7:40 a.m.) and Jay Williamson (1:40 p.m.).
Starting on the back nine, Jeff Hull, our own golfgnome, roared out of the gates with birdies at the 10th, 11th and 13th. Through his first seven holes, he is -3 and T4.
Kinderlou Forest Golf Club, site of the South Georgia Classic, is "ridiculously long." Jeff told me yesterday that he was tired of having to hit his hybrid into the green on hole after hole.
Here's a note from the TOUR's website:
LONGEST COURSE IN PGA TOUR HISTORY -- At 7,781 yards, the par-72 Kinderlou Forest GC will be the longest course to ever host a PGA TOUR-sanctioned event. It was designed by Davis Love III and opened in 2004. The longest course played in a Nationwide Tour event to date is the 7,702-yard Whistle Bear Golf Club (par 72), site of the 2005 Canadian PGA Championship, won by Jon Mills. The longest course to host a PGA TOUR event is the par-72 Castle Pines Golf Club in Colorado which played 7,619 yards for the International in 2004-2006.
I like that picture!
