‘Great Man’ Ted Robinson Passes On
Earlier this month Ted Robinson, a legendary golf course architect and former president of the American Society of Golf Course Architects, passed away after a 10-month battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 84 years old. His lengthy career lasted five decades and he left his indelible design mark with three Las Vegas golf courses, the resort Rhodes Ranch Golf Club and Tuscany Golf Club, and the private Canyon Gate Country Club. And one Las Vegas golf pro, Daryl Driscoll, will never forget the man who made a lasting impact on him. "He was genuinely a great person, and a great guy to work with," says Driscoll, who worked with Robinson on the construction of Rhodes Ranch.
Jeremy Anderson Calls His Shot; Guarantees Win
There’s something about talking to a guy who is confident. It fires you up almost as much as the person doing to the speaking. That was the case this week when we touched base with Las Vegas golfer–and member of the 1998 UNLV NCAA Championship golf team–Jeremy Anderson. Anderson has played the PGA Tour, the mini tours and the Nationwide Tour, but hasn’t had the breakout season that many expect from him. He has fought injuries along the way, and a few bouts of having little confidence in his game. Not so these days. "I will win on the Nationwide Tour this year, no question, finish in the top 25 on the money list, and be back out on the PGA Tour next year," says Anderson.
