I took in the annual press
day for the Anheuser-
Busch Golf Classic at
Kingsmill Golf Course in
Williamsburg, VA, last
week, Calvin Peete, the
defending champ, was on
hand for interviews along
with Curtis Strange,
Kingsmill’s touring pro.
The confab was very
informative and both golf-
ers showed a lot of humor.
Orlon Burkhardt, chair-
man of the Anheuser-
Busch Golf Classic, men-
tioned to Strange that it
must have been nice to
play a final round
(Kemper Open) in the sun
for a change.
Strange, who has been in
a mild slump lately,
replied, “For me person-
ally, it was just nice get-
ting an opportunity to play
on Sunday.” Strange has
missed several cuts.
lot of style in field ques-
tions from the large group
of media people.
He brought down the
house when asked it his
lifestyle had changed in:
the last year since he won
over $300,000 and recently
captured another first in
the Atlanta Classic.
“Not necessarily,” said
Peete. “My wife, Chris-
tine, still tells me where to
go, when to be there and
what time I'm scheduled
to play.”
Peete arrived from Eng-
land last Sunday night in
New York, then flew to
Norfolk early Monday
morning.
I was particularly
impressed with Peete’s
modesty. He still makes
appearatices on the second
tour just to hype the gate.
“I try to play several
times a year on the second
tour. I feel it’s my duty,
because that is where I got
my start and I owe the
game of golf something,”
he said.
When asked for any tips
for us amateurs, Peete
was quick to give advise to
everyone that asked.
“One phase which has
been a big help to me is
setting up properly to your
target and having the
proper balance. These are
two reasons which help my
consistency. That and a lot
of practice. You've got to
practice to find the right
tempo,” he added.
After the gathering, we
had a nice lunch, then teed
it up on the plush Kings-
mill Golf Course. It was a

-treat to finally play on a
course with slick greens
and firm fairways. I really
enjoyed the back nine
which will be shown on
NBC TV.
No matter where you hit
the ball, you didn’t have to
touch it. My favorite hole
is the 18th. I sat between
the 16th, 17th holes and
18th tee last year when I
attended the tourney. I got
a bit lucky from the cham-
pionship tee on the final
hole, hitting a long crisp
drive, then a nine iron to
the green and sank the
putt for my only bird. I
couldn’t believe the action
I got on the ball from the
fairways. It’s a super
track. :
I'm looking forward to
attending the tournament
which is “scheduled for
July 21-24. The people run-
Classic have gone to great
lengths to make it an
enjoyable week for the
pros and their families.
