Goodell & Friends Hoping To Play Pine Valley, Augusta National And Cypress Point In A Day

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and others are apparently planning the ultimate one-day trifecta: Pine Valley, Augusta National and Cypress Point. Or is it?

GolfDigest.com’s Daniel Rapaport Tweeted revealed the audacious trip plans:

A little birdie tells me that next week, a group including Roger Goodell will play Pine Valley, Augusta and Cypress—all in the same day.

Can't quite wait for summer solstice because Augusta closes for the summer. Will start at crack of dawn at Pine Valley.

That...does not suck.

If you’re wondering about timing, several have done the math and feel this first world footprint-unfriendly day is doable as long as the Commish and friends play each round in three hours and face no delays.

This is not the first bold attempt at playing multiple classics in a day.

Thanks to reader Tuco who reminded me of this 24-hour trip featuring the Old Course at St. Andrews, Winged Foot and Pebble Beach. They used the Concorde and a couple of short private flights to pull it off.

The golfers? Bobby Clampett, George Peper, Brian Morgan and Hughes Norton.

''I've dreamed of something like this,'' said Clampett, a 23-yearold professional, ''ever since I was a little kid.'' At 1 P.M. Sunday, Clampett completed his play in the British Open, shooting a 288 over all, four over par. Then, accompanied by George F. Peper, the editor of Golf magazine, who had conceived the marathon, Hughes Norton of the International Management Group, which represents Clampett, and Brian Morgan, a Scottish freelance photographer, Clampett flew from Southport, England, to St. Andrews, the starting point of the golfing odyssey.
