Grooves Issue Will Have Local Impact
3 USGA sectional qualifiers in Colorado will utilize new rules
by Gary Baines - February 8, 2010
Anyone who follows tour golf with any regularity knows that no spin is necessary to declare the “grooves” issue one of the hottest topics in the game in 2010.
It was already a big deal before Scott McCarron fueled the fire a couple of weeks ago when he opined that Phil Mickelson (pictured) and other PGA Tour players were “cheating” by using pre-1990 Ping Eye 2 wedges that are only legal because of a lawsuit the USGA settled with Ping 17 years ago. McCarron said Mickelson and Co., were violating the spirit of groove rules implemented on Jan. 1.

CGA Mid-Amateur September 18-20, 2009 River Valley Ranch GC
No Near-Miss This Time for Harrington Robert Polk, who held off Michael Harrington to win the 2007 CGA Mid-Amateur title, told Harrington this week that “it’s your time” to claim the championship.
And Harrington, a 37-year-old from Colorado Springs, apparently took that to heart, winning the 2009 Mid-Am on Sunday after finishing second twice in the last four years. --READ STORY

Polk Pulls Off CGA Senior Sweep
Parker resident first to accomplish feat since 2002
by Gary Baines - September 11, 2009
Robert Polk had already accomplished plenty in golf, but on Friday he joined some elite company.
By winning the CGA Senior Stroke Play at Cornerstone Club in Montrose, the Parker resident became one of just four individuals who have claimed the Senior Stroke Play and Senior Match Play titles in the same calendar year.
Previously accomplishing that feat were John Olive (1997, 2001 and 2002), John Golden (1993 and ’95) and Larry Eaton (1981 and ’85). Olive and Eaton, by the way, are members of the Colorado Golf Hall of Fame.
“That’s some very good company,” Polk said. “Anytime you’re mentioned in the same breath as people like that, it’s pretty tall cotton.”

Polk Claims Fourth CGA Title
Parker resident edges Mertz for Senior Match Play crown
by Gary Baines, May 15
Robert Polk earned the CGA Senior Player of the Year honor each of the last two years, and it appears he has designs on making it three in a row.
The 53-year-old from Parker, who plays out of Colorado Golf Club, claimed his fourth CGA title on Friday, winning two of the last three holes to score a 1-up victory over Longmont’s Guy Mertz in the finals of the Senior Match Play Championship at The Ranch Country Club.
The title was Polk’s first in the CGA Senior Match Play, but he’s also won two Senior Stroke Plays (2005 and 2007) and a Mid-Amateur (2007)...

It took an 18-hole round, plus four holes of sudden death, but the 2004 CGA Player of the Year earned the desired outcome, teaming with Alex Buecking to win the open division of the CGA Four-Ball Championships Tuesday at Legacy Ridge Golf Course.
