Uses a pink shaft in his driver...Father started him in golf... Attended the same high school (Milton, FL HS) a few years
after current PGA TOUR players Heath Slocum and Boo Weekley...Self-taught player who learned the game by hitting wiffle balls
around his house. "The house was probably an acre and a half yard with big trees, downtown Bagdad (FL). The house is sitting
here, and I drew in the dirt driveway. I'd draw a big circle, and that would be my hole, a 5-foot circle. I'd go around it
to the left and then I'd go around it to the right. So I learned to cut it. If you know about wiffle balls or plastic balls,
it's hard to cut. Then I learned to hook it the other way, hit it high over limbs, hit it low under limbs. I'd say non-stop
every day from 6 to 12 years old. Instead of playing with trucks out in the yard, I'd play with a ball and a club."...Is using
