5 Questions With Doug Letson

»  Comments | Post a Comment

Q: We'll start with any easy one. What would be your dream foursome, you and three others?

A: Tiger, obviously, because he dominates, and probably Jack Nicklaus, just because he's a legend and what he's done for the game. And then my dad; he works a lot but it's always fun going out and playing with him.

Q: Tell me something about yourself that most people might not know?

A: Wow, that's a tough one. Well, I mark my ball with a lucky charm.

Q: A lucky charm? What is it?

A: I think it's like a quarter; I don't know. My girlfriend's mom gave it to me. It's a quarter that is smashed down like you get at amusement parks, and it has a four-leaf clover on it. Ever since I started using that two weeks ago I've been playing really well.

Q: So you got it two weeks ago?

A: Well, I lost it and then I found it again two weeks ago. I wasn't playing too good when I didn't have it. Now, all of my rounds have been like 1-over or under par since then. ... In the regular season I shot 34 at MacDill in my first match, and then 36 at Cheval. And then 35 at Emerald Greens.

Q: You're still young in your golf career, but what would you say is your crowning achievement in golf thus far?

A: I almost made it to the U.S. Amateur; that would have been my biggest achievement. I was the Greater Tampa Junior Golf Association Player of the Year. I think I was the youngest to get it; it was in 2005. I think I won three or four of their tournaments.
