Kye Gollyby was tied to masters for his father, Bob, who won the tournament in 1968.
The kindness of Kye Goolby
When his father won Master In 1968, Kye Goleby was four years old, very young to understand the size of the moment.
However, long ago, Key realized it and with the time he would reach the 20th, he would follow the tour in some cases. He would even be tied to the event for his father, Bob.
Experience creates memories, and Kye Goolby has many masters. He remembers his father by letting him play from his bag during a practical round with this provision: to avoid the watchful eyes of the then cliff Roberts chair, Kye could not hit the first Tee or divide into 18 years. He remembers the pressure of the balls hit in the practice of practice alongside Sam Snead and and Jack nicklaus.
And Kye swears he can still paint a tour convenience that no longer exists: deep in the pine to the left of the 2nd PAR-5 hole, Golorby says he had a Delta Airlines ticket table, a travel service for people involved in the tournament. Whenever they played the hole, Bobi liked to tell his son, only half a joke, “If you tie you a Thursday or Friday, you can also go right there in that Delta ticket office because you are done.”
In one The last episode of the destination golf Podcast, the goalkeeper shared that story and many others, including memories of how his father dealt with the infamous Roberto de Vicenzo marking Fiasco who distracted from his victory. It was a conversation in time, and not just because masters are just around the corner.
Unlike his father, who died in 2022, the goalkeeper never played golf to live. But he played him well enough to be part of the Wake Forest Golf team. And he loved him well enough to pursue a life in the game – not in competition, but in the design of the course. An ex -Shaper for a long time for the likes of Pete Dye, Tom Doak and Gil Hanse, Goolby is also an architect himself and the founder of Golf Design Golf. Among his numerous loans is co-dider with Zac Bler and Doak (who did the course), The Tree Farm, a highly rated Private Club in South Carolina, about 40 minutes from Augusta, in a Sandbelt region that has given in recent years in a new course.
At the age of 61, the goalkeeper still plays Golf when time allows, which is rarely. Work keeps it on the road more than 300 days a year. He spoke with the destination golf From Montana, where he is building a course alongside a world -class trout fishing river, commissioned by an owner who has given a creative width for a pleasant, festive appearance, which fits smoothly in the landscape.
When Goalby does a job, he goes all by moving inside. His commitment to being in place with his team and treating home construction not only helps him keep the tabs in every detail, but also allows him to keep costs down.
Presentation on the tournament is another matter. Although Goodby has participated in more than 20 masters, he is too busy to do it Augusta National This year. But he will be tuned to the tournament. He always does. Next to an annual memory lane.
