Well, today after playing golf at the thoroughly enjoyable Cannon Ridge Golf Club in the Celebrate Virginia development, head professional Bart Wolfe explained a relatively new program called Deane Bemans 6/90 Golf Instructional Program.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. -- Youve probably heard this from me before, but the biggest problem with retaining golfers isnt that golf takes too long or is too expensive; its just that its often too difficult and frustrating.

The former PGA Tour commissioner is one of the co-designers of Cannon Ridge, along with Bobby Weed. Beman has designed a golf instructional program that will give students all the tools necessary to shoot in the 90s within six months.

Strange grew up in South Hampton Roads and first met Wadkins at Bow Creek in Virginia Beach, where Stranges father, Tom, was the golf professional. Wadkins was 14 and competing in the state junior tournament.

Six years later, Wadkins defeated Strange in the semifinals of the 1970 Virginia Amateur. Both attended Wake Forest and thrived on the PGA Tour, but their next head-to-head duel didnt transpire until 1990.

Though they shared Virginia and Wake Forest roots, Strange and Wadkins were not close friends. Yet when he captained the U. S. Ryder Cup team in 1995, Wadkins paid Strange the ultimate compliment by picking him for the 12-man squad.
