Spieth's Ideal 21st Birthday: Golf At Preston Trail!?
/I love the kid's passion, but come on, a round at Preston Trail, where they don't accept anyone under 21, as your big birthday celebration?
Okay...whatever Jordan says!
Doug Ferguson reports on Jordan Spieth's idea of a perfect 21st celebration at the all-male and apparently anti-early-millennial Preston Trail Golf Club:
"I must have played Bent Tree about 50 times and I always looked over at Preston Trail knowing I couldn't go over there," Spieth said. "When I was playing in college, or even last year as a professional, I'd get home and a couple of buddies would say, `Yeah, we're going over to Preston Trail.'"
He was invited to play by Malcolm Holland, a Preston Trail member and prominent USGA official. Spieth said the superintendent prepared for their visit by rolling the greens twice and finding some of the toughest pin positions. He played with former U.S. Amateur champion Colt Knost and Carlos Ortiz, who tops the Web.com Tour money list.
It was everything Spieth thought it would be.
