Brew's Cafe- Episode 59 Paul Dickinson
There are four major tournaments in golf: The Masters, The US Open, The British Open and The PGA. Most of us aspire to go and watch one of these tournaments, to simply to get to SEE the likes of a Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson or Justin Thomas today, Jack Nicholson, Arnold Palmer in past eras and names like Ben Hogan and Sam Snead in the history books. For most professional golfers, the dream of playing in one of these tournaments resides far out of reach. For Montauk native Paul Dickinson, that dream came true last year when he qualified for, and played in, the PGA Championship at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The road to the PGA was not a straight one, and with a family and a full time job that's not playing the Pro Tour, it was about as hard as it could be. But he did it. Join Paul and me as he recounts the long, seemingly impossible journey from playing with cut-off clubs at Montauk Downs, to the highest ranks of professional golf.
