Turtle Bay Championship
The Turtle Bay Championship
After a long absence as a Tour Champion due to injuries, Alabama’s Jerry Pate captured a well deserved victory at the Turtle Bay Championship on the North Shore of Oahu. He did so with winds gusting up to 30 mph that saw almost the entire field carding an above par round. And as a Tournament Volunteer Microphone Operator for the Golf Channel, I was very fortunate to be alongside his threesome, which included Scott Simpson and Fulton Allem, to capture all of the sounds throughout their round. How’s that for excitment? In an interview after completing his round, Pate informed the media that all of his medical rehabilitation was done at a hospital in Birmingham, AL. And as coincidence may have it, this is the same hospital that my wife worked at for several years as a Head Nurse when we lived in Alabama.
