BOB GREEN<br />

Nahant club champ, at 80, inspired by sick son<br />

Revised <strong>2019</strong><br />

PGA Tour schedule<br />

shortchanges<br />

the four majors<br />

The inaugural season of the PGA<br />

Tour's revamped schedule is almost<br />

over. I'm not a fan.<br />

The major tournaments: The Masters,<br />

PGA Championship, US Open and The<br />

Open Championship, were squeezed<br />

into April, May, June and July.<br />

The PGA Championship, previously<br />

played in early August, was moved to<br />

mid-May.<br />

The PGA Tour Playoffs wrapped<br />

up this year the weekend of August<br />

22. There used to be three playoff<br />

tournaments leading up to the<br />

Tour Championship. One of the<br />

playoff tournaments was eliminated,<br />

consequently, the Tour Championship<br />

was August 22-25. The 2018 event was<br />

in September, nearly a full month later.<br />

What was the reason for the<br />

schedule change?<br />

Money. Everything always comes<br />

down to money.<br />

FedEx and the Tour became<br />

partners in the FedEx Cup seasonlong<br />

points race in 2007. There have<br />

been tweaks to the FedEx Cup ever<br />

since. Players are awarded points<br />

based on their performance in<br />

tournaments throughout the year.<br />

The players with the top 100 points<br />

qualify for the playoffs.<br />

Personally, I think a playoff<br />

system for the PGA Tour is totally<br />

unnecessary. The Tour hierarchy felt<br />

the need to create a playoff system<br />

mainly because every other major<br />

professional sport has playoffs.<br />

The Tour is nothing like the other<br />

sports. The Majors were golf's version<br />

of the playoffs.<br />

I've never heard anyone express<br />

excitement or anticipation about the<br />

FedEx Cup playoffs or who will win<br />

it. The Majors, that's when golf fans<br />

express anticipation.<br />

It's not like the Stanley Cup, World<br />

Series, or NFL Playoffs where play gets<br />

elevated and the games mean so much.<br />

But FedEx has put up millions. The<br />

winner of the FedEx Cup won $10<br />

million last season. It was upped to<br />

$15 million this season.<br />

The Tour, and most likely FedEx,<br />

didn't want to compete with the NFL. So<br />

I'm sure this<br />

year's schedule<br />

will become the<br />

new norm. Players<br />

will have to adapt.<br />

As will fans.<br />

they shortened the season so the Tour<br />

Championship and FedEx Cup race will<br />

end before the NFL season begins.<br />

This is about TV ratings, which is<br />

about money. FedEx wants higher TV<br />

ratings so it gets more bang for the<br />

buck, er, $15 million bucks.<br />

Let's get back to the Tour schedule,<br />

how it's affected the majors, and the<br />

impact it's had on the most important<br />

asset; the players.<br />

The Masters is traditionally played<br />

early-to mid-April, the US Open in<br />

mid-June, the Open Championship<br />

about five weeks later, and the PGA<br />

Championship three to four weeks<br />

after that, in mid-August.<br />

The PGA of America agreed to<br />

move their Championship to mid-<br />

May effective this year. I'm not sure<br />

why, but I'm guessing it's all about<br />

one thing: the money.<br />

The condensed majors schedule<br />

forced players to skip events they'd<br />

always played. Tour players don't play<br />

every tournament; they take weeks<br />

off, constructing their schedule with<br />

the ultimate goal of having their game<br />

ready for the majors.<br />

Peaking at the right time involves<br />

rest, practice, and competitive golf.<br />

For many, this season there was<br />

not enough time between events to<br />

properly prepare. After Tiger Woods<br />

won the Masters, most fans anticipated<br />

him being in the mix in the remaining<br />

majors. That never happened. If he<br />

rested, he wasn't prepared. If he<br />

played, his body broke down.<br />

The PGA Tour and FedEx aren't<br />

overly concerned about the majors.<br />

After all, they don't have anything to<br />

do with a single one of them. Augusta<br />

National runs the Masters, the PGA of<br />

America runs the PGA Championship,<br />

the USGA runs the US Open, and<br />

the Royal & Ancient, Great Britain's<br />

version of the USGA, runs The Open<br />

Championship.<br />

The PGA Tour is concerned about<br />

their events. The majors aren't a<br />

priority to them.<br />

But they are a priority to every<br />

golf fan. Now, we're watching the<br />

last major halfway through July.<br />

Midsummer and the majors are done.<br />

It's too bad. I'm sure this year's<br />

schedule will become the new norm.<br />

Players will have to adapt. As will fans.<br />

Gee, I can't wait for the "Wrap<br />

Around" season to begin.<br />

BY ANNE MARIE TOBIN<br />

On Aug. 12, 80-year-old Alex<br />

Lindsey of Swampscott captured<br />

the Nahant <strong>Golf</strong> Club men's club<br />

championship, posting a 5-over 95<br />

(30-34-33) in the 27-hole tournament,<br />

edging Nahant resident Dan Taylor by<br />

two shots.<br />

The win was Lindsey's second<br />

straight and 19th overall. He won his<br />

first title 34 years ago.<br />

Lindsey said he had special<br />

inspiration this year: his 57-year-old<br />

son, Jeffrey.<br />

"My son has serious heart failure,<br />

and he got a new heart about three<br />

weeks ago at Mass General," said<br />

Lindsey. "He's home now and doing<br />

really well, so I just got inspired to<br />

play. ... When I saw how well he was<br />

doing, I got jacked up and inspired<br />

and decided to play."<br />

Lindsey started in golf as a<br />

14-year-old caddie in upstate New<br />

York near Alexandria Bay, a small<br />

160 SO. MAIN ST., Rte. 114 • MIDDLETON<br />

Next to Richardson's Dairy<br />

• Fully-lighted 50 tee golf driving range<br />

• Natural grass practice area<br />

• Covered and heated tees for<br />

year-round practicing<br />

• 2 beautifully landscaped miniature golf courses<br />

• 9 station baseball and softball batting cage facility<br />

• <strong>Golf</strong> lessons by PGA professionals<br />

town just south of the Canadian<br />

border. He would qualify for<br />

three U.S. Senior Amateurs and,<br />

amazingly, advanced to match play in<br />

every one.<br />

"That's probably my proudest<br />

accomplishment, qualifying for match<br />

play in all three, but I never was able<br />

to win a match," Lindsey said. "Still,<br />

it's not too bad for a guy coming out of<br />

a par-30 little, blue-collar golf course<br />

where we used to shovel the snow<br />

off the greens so we could play in the<br />

winter."<br />

Lindsey carries a USGA handicap<br />

of 6.0.<br />

"That's the highest it has ever been<br />

since I first got a handicap," he said.<br />

"I still hit the ball 225-250 and will<br />

not play the senior tees, but play the<br />

regular tees. I have a solid swing and<br />

am still pretty flexible, but it's all<br />

about this great equipment. I can't<br />

hit 185-yard eight irons the way these<br />

kids in their 30s do, but can still hold<br />

FAR CORNER GOLF<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

my own<br />

pretty well."<br />

Nahant golf<br />

professional<br />

Gary Lynch<br />

says Lindsey<br />

is the real<br />

deal.<br />

"Al is a<br />

very good<br />

player who<br />

really works<br />

at his game.<br />

He doesn't<br />

ALEX<br />

LINDSEY<br />

play golf for fun, he plays to get better<br />

and, even now, is always working on<br />

things all the time."<br />

Lindsey said the course was<br />

in perfect condition for the<br />

championship.<br />

"Our new superintendent, Brett<br />

Waterman, has just done a great<br />

job. The wonderful conditions of the<br />

course due to his efforts were certainly<br />

part of what drove me to compete."<br />

Lahey <strong>Golf</strong> Fitness program<br />

resident, get her golf game in shape and recover from an achilles tear and a knee replacement.<br />

Steve Rutter stands in the<br />

high-tech video studio at<br />

Paradise <strong>Golf</strong> Learning Center<br />

in Middleton. He grabs a 56-degree<br />

wedge, addresses the ball and smacks<br />

it about 80 yards, straight as can be.<br />

PGA Professional Stephen Ventre,<br />

smiles, as Rutter, his student, hits<br />

another shot that veers a bit to the<br />

right. Ventre instructs him to close the<br />

clubface. Swing. Thwack. Perfect!<br />

It's a miracle that Rutter is here<br />

hitting golf balls. Twenty-three years<br />

ago, he was having trouble climbing<br />

hills. A stress test and EKG revealed<br />

four heart blockages. He was 45 years<br />

old. While recuperating in the hospital<br />

after surgery, a flesh-eating infection<br />

invaded his body and put his life in<br />

jeopardy. He was put in a medically<br />

induced coma. The road to recovery<br />

was long and difficult, for him, wife<br />

Deb, their three children and family.<br />

<strong>Golf</strong>? That wasn't even in the<br />

picture. He lost all muscle, much of<br />

his skin and his sternum was removed.<br />

Today, he's the picture of health, but<br />

he nearly died, for heaven's sake. "It<br />

was hard to learn how to walk all over<br />

again," he says.<br />

But here he is, a 16 handicap who<br />

plays most often at Haverhill CC and<br />

Hickory Hill, enjoying the game he<br />

loves, thanks in large part to Lahey's<br />

innovative golf fitness program at<br />

Beverly Hospital, Addison Gilbert in<br />

Gloucester and other Lahey facilities.<br />

Susan DiRocco, his physical<br />

therapist, watches as Ventre places<br />

three golf balls on the mat. Imagine<br />

a tic-tac-toe board, with one ball<br />

placed in the upper left, one in the<br />

middle, one in the lower right. Rutter<br />

swings and advances the middle ball<br />

without touching the others. "Good.<br />

Remember, full follow-through,"<br />

advises Ventre.<br />

"These guys have helped me so<br />

much," Rutter says, pointing to Deb,<br />

DiRocco and Ventre. "They help me<br />

use what I have now."<br />

Rutter's situation is an extreme<br />

case. Most participants in the Lahey<br />

therapy program are dealing with<br />

relatively minor injuries or recovering<br />

from "routine" surgery. DiRocco and<br />

Melinda Adam, Lahey's director of<br />

Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine,<br />

say the program is a proven success<br />

and benefits both competitive golfers<br />

and recreational golfers. Team<br />

members are Titleist Performance<br />

Institute (TPI) certified.<br />

"Developing trust with the patient<br />

is important," Adam says. "With pain<br />

comes fear. This program helps the<br />

golfer trust her or his swing again.<br />

DiRocco says physical therapists in<br />

their clinics work collaboratively with<br />

area golf pros, including Ventre, to<br />

develop targeted rehab programs with<br />

golf performance in mind.<br />

"We work as a team with the pro.<br />

Our job is to deal with the pain and<br />

physical stuff. The pro works with<br />

the swing and correcting flaws in that<br />

swing," adds Adam.<br />

"It was important for me to<br />

determine what could help (Rutter)<br />

the most, which muscles he could<br />

optimistically use. He was willing<br />

to work hard, so very hard," says<br />

DiRocco. They focused on stability,<br />

the hip muscles, twisting and turning<br />

the body, and boosting strength.<br />

Progress was slow but steady.<br />

The physical therapist screens<br />

and rates a golfer on more than a<br />

dozen matters, including quality<br />

of movement, amount of motion,<br />

coordination, torso rotation, and<br />

balance.<br />

The PGA pro diagnoses TPI's "Big<br />

12" swing characteristics: S-posture,<br />

C-posture, loss of posture, flat<br />

shoulder plane, early extension,<br />

over-the-top, sway, slide, reverse<br />

spine angle, hanging back, casting/<br />

early release/scooping, and chicken<br />

winging and then works with the<br />

golfer to eliminate swing faults.<br />

Ventre teaches here 12 months<br />

a year. He's been at Paradise <strong>Golf</strong><br />

since 2003, and says TrackMan<br />

video analysis, which he's used since<br />

2014, has "changed my passion<br />

for golf." TrackMan monitors the<br />

launch of a golf ball and records all<br />

clubface, swing and ball flight data,<br />

and measures club speed and hang<br />

time. The pro can analyze the swing<br />

while the golfer watches on a large TV<br />

screen.<br />

"This golf fitness program looks at<br />

the total person. It's a different way<br />

to think," says DiRocco. Before his<br />

first session with a golfer, Ventre and<br />

DiRocco discuss whether physical<br />

limitations might impede a player's<br />

progress.<br />

Melinda Adam has helped<br />

several golfers at Bass Rocks GC in<br />

Gloucester, including Anne Saurman,<br />

a 72-year-old Rockport resident who<br />

rehabbed with Adam after an achilles<br />

tear and a knee replacement. The<br />

program worked so well, she became<br />

club champ in her bracket. Saurman<br />

is currently recuperating from rotator<br />

cuff surgery.<br />

Six weeks after that surgery,<br />

Saurman was Florida-bound. "I<br />

want to play golf down there," she<br />

told Adam. A rehabilitation sports<br />

exercise program targeted specifically<br />

for Saurman was put in place, and<br />

the golfer diligently did what she had<br />

to do. "When I first got to Florida, I<br />

just putted and chipped. But it wasn't<br />

long before I was playing full-out<br />

golf," she says.<br />

"I'm a bit of a doobie, and really<br />

was focused on doing the exercises.<br />

I am totally into it. My game has<br />

improved."<br />

"It's been so much fun working<br />

with Anne. She's the perfect patient:<br />
