PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Growing up amid the prairies of Kansas, Gary Woodland was a standout on the baseball field and basketball court.
Held his own on the golf course, too. But back in the mid-1990s, while his proud community of Topeka knew what he could do with a baseball and a basketball, very few had any idea what he could do with a golf ball.
“Golf wasn’t cool. And I played by myself,” Woodland said.
