The Georgia PGA Championship, the crown jewel for Georgia PGA Section professionals, kicked off yesterday on the Retreat Course in Sea Island, Georgia. As usual, the course is set to tournament standards, and the competition among 117 qualifying professionals promises to be fierce.

Last week, two of those professionals,
Jeff Hull and
Ted Fort, prepared for their championship by giving a combined 240 lessons --
-- at The Barclays Golf Academy in Jersey City, New Jersey. Exactly 100 percent of their time was spent
indoors with Barclays clients . . . they didn't strike a shot outside (and very few inside). Their plane to Sea Island left Newark shortly after 8 p.m. Sunday night. I imagine they got to their rooms around 11 p.m.
The next morning, Jeff teed off at 9:30 and shot a sparkling 68 (-4), good for solo 4th. Ted went off in the afternoon at 1:45 and shot 71 (-1), ranked T-12. Jeff's round included five birdies and an eagle, and Ted's card sported three birdies. Congrats, guys, on two outstanding performances made even more special by your total dedication to our golf academy this past week.
Alignment Golf.
Gotta love it!
