"Doctor Golf"

Jimmy Vandette was an unknown pro. When he qualified for the "biggest money" tournament of the year, the headlines read like this one -... "Vandette Stuns and Joins Talbot".

The quoted section translates to...

The Assistant pro from Summerlea Golf Club, aged 29, who got the day off from his boss, Duke Doucet, took the opportunity to especially thank a member of Whitlock Golf Club, nicknamed Doctor Golf.

"His name is Ken Evoy and he is a fantastic professor, even if he only started golf four years ago. A doctor by profession, he also invents toys.

Ken has an innate talent to bring about technical adjustments and I owe him a lot," concluded Vandette, who could still hardly believe his victory.

We continued to work together (what a pleasure to work with an extraordinarily skilled athlete). Jimmy went on to "stun" everyone again and won the largest tournament of the year in July, 1996.

In the extensive press coverage that followed, the winning golf pro, Jimmy Vandette, gives "Doctor Golf" all the credit for his victory. What a thrill! And what a classy thing to do. Here's a sample...

"I have been thinking about this competition for two months, since I qualified. I worked hard with Doctor Golf, a member of the Whitlock Golf Club, and from whom I accepted advice. A super guy who sees golf in another light, Ken completely transformed me and I owe this terrific performance to him."

What a thrill! I love to teach. He worked hard and deserved his victory. I was more thrilled than he!
