Mickelson Flirts with 59At the 2013 Waste Management
Phoenix Open on the TPC
Scottsdale course, Phil Mickelson
was snif fing some rarefied air, air that
only a few have fully breathed into
their lungs. He was attempting to join
a group of professional golfers that
doesn’t include the likes of Ben Hogan,
Sam Snead, Jack Nicklaus, TigerWoods or even the venerable Arnold
Palmer. Mickelson
was attempting
to join an eclectic
group of golfers that
have shot 59 in an
of ficially recognized
event.
With birdie attempts
on both his 17th
and 18th holes of theday – the 8th and 9th
holes of the course
(he started his day on the back nine),
Mickelson looked poised to join this
elite group. On 8, his putt was tracking
to the hole and came up just short. On
9, he knocked one to 25 feet, hit a great
putt that at the very end caught the edge
of the cup and ended up lipping out 180
degrees, somehow staying out. For the
second time in his career, Mickelsonhad carded a 60.
A score of 60 has been carded 27 times
on the PGA tour by 25 different players
– with Mickelson, as mentioned, and
Zach Johnson doing it twice. The first
time was in 1951 by Al Brosch in the
Texas Open. After Sam Snead carded a
60 in the 1957 Dallas Open, there was
a drought for 33 years until David Frost
did it in the second round of the 1990
Northern Telecom Tucson Open. Other
highlight 60’s include: a 19 year old
amateur by the name of Patrick Cantlay
who shot 60 in the 2011 Travelers
Championship and closer to our
Canadian golfing consciousness, Carl
Pettersen, who shot a 60 in the third
round of the 2010 RBC Canadian Openat Royal St. George’s Golf and Country
Club in Etobicoke,
Ontario. Pettersen,
who had just barely
made the cut after the
Friday round, shot
an incredible 60 on
his way to winning
the Canadian Open
that year.
Lots at 60 butshooting a 59, that
elusive 59, is a rare
feat indeed. Like a 2000 yard rushing
season in the NFL (only 7 times), or
scoring 50 goals in 50 games (8 times
by 5 players), shooting 59 has only
been accomplished 5 times on the
PGA tour and once on the LPGA tour.
The first to card a 59 and forever enter
golf lore as Mr. 59 was Al Geiberger.
Geiberger was a successful tour playerfrom the late 1950s to the early ‘80s
winning a major championship in 1966
with the PGA Championship and being
on two Ryder Cup teams in 1967 and
1975. But his moniker making round
would be played in Tennessee at the
Colonial Country Club in 1977 during
the second round of the Danny Thomas
Memphis Classic. After shooting an
opening round 72, Geiberger knew he

needed at least another 72 to make the
cut. He did that and more. Geiberger
fi
nished with another 72 and a 70 towin the tournament by 3 strokes.
Chip Beck was the next tour player to
join the 59 club. Beck won four times
on the PGA tour, was second in 3 Major
Championships (the Masters and the
US Open twice), played in three Ryder
Cups, and spent some time in the top
10 in golf rankings in 1988 and 1989.
Ironically, the tournament in which
he shot his historic 59, the Las Vegas
Invitational in 1991, was not one of histournament victories – he finished tied
for third. Beck’s round included 5 pars
and 13 birdies setting the record for
most birdies in one round.
David Duval was the next member
shooting his 59 in the final round of
the 1999 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic.
Duval, a multiple winner on the PGA
tour, the 2001 Open Championship
winner and a world former number 1,
was playing the round of his life but
still needed to make eagle on the 18 th
hole to not only shoot 59 but to win the
tournament – which he did in dramatic
fashion.
Journeyman golfer Paul Goydos joined
the club in the opening round of the
2010 John Deere Classic. Ranked 137th
in the world at the time and having
missed his previous two cuts, Goydos
shot 4 under on the front nine and thenblistered the back nine with an 8 under
28 to shoot his 59. Incredibly, he led
by only one shot at the end of the round
as Steve Stricker shot an opening round
60 – setting a record for the two lowest
scores in a single round on the PGA.
Goydos would lose the tournament to
Stricker by two strokes.
The last member joined the elusive club
Mickelson Continued just one month after Goydos. Stuart
Appleby gained entry shooting his 59
during thefi
nal round of the GreenbrierClassic. Appleby finished his round
with 3 birdies, shooting 11 under, to
win the tournament by 1 stroke at 22
under. It was an incredible round under
the circumstances and considering it
ended a four year winless drought on
the Tour. Appleby, an Australian, was
the first non-American to shoot 59.
The only female in the 59 Club is
Sweden’s Annika Sorenstam. She is
considered the most dominant femaleplayer of all time having won 72
times on the LPGA Tour including 10
Major victories. Sorenstam’s entry
came in the 2001 Standard Register
Ping tournament when she rattled off
8 birdies on her front nine shooting a
28, followed by 5 birdies on her back
nine by the 17th hole – she only had to
make par on the final hole to shoot 59!
Sorenstam had a nine foot birdie putt
on 18 to shoot 58 which she rolled 3
feet past the cup – now risking a bogey
and missing her 59. Clearly, she sank
the putt and got her 59 but it showed
her competitive spirit to the end.
Mickelson’s competitive spirit almost
got him into this club but he fell short
for the second time in his career. Alas,
the rarefied air still eludes him.
An engineer crosses a road when a
frog calls out to him, “If you kiss me,
I’ll turn into a beautiful princess.”
He bends over, picks up the frog and
puts it in his pocket. The frog speaks
up again and says, “If you kiss me and
turn me back into a beautiful princess,
I will stay with you for one week.”
The engineer takes the frog out of his
pocket, smiles at it and returns it to the
pocket.
The frog then cries out, “If you kiss
me and turn me back, I’ll do whatever
you say!”
Again the engineer takes the frog out,
smiles at it and puts it back into his
pocket.
Finally, the frog asks, “What is the
matter? I’ve told you I’m a beautiful
princess, I’ll stay with you for a month
and do whatever you say. What more
do you want?”
The engineer says, “Look, I’m an
engineer. I don’t have time for a
girlfriend, but a talking frog, now
that’s cool!” From: http://www.jokes.com/funny-work-jokes/

Mental Environmental
Plants and trees have long been lauded for their ability to add oxygen to the
environment by converting carbon dioxide. Moving plants indoors has
also been shown to have a similar effect. But is this the only beneficial effect?Studies done by NASA suggest that there may in fact be more to this friendly
foliage than meets the eye.
The NASA study done in 1989 proved that the indoor plants act as powerful
air purifiers that can also remove toxic materials such as formaldehyde, volatile
organic compounds (VOCs), carbon monoxide and benzene. Combining total
of being at work and at home, the average person spends approximately 90% of
their time indoors. A little leafy relief from these toxins can only be beneficia
for the person as well as beautifying the of fice and home. From greenlivingonline.com
P
arkinson’s disease is
a neurodegenerative
(brain degeneration) disease
that particularly affects the
neurotransmitter dopamine’s
neurons in a particular part of
the brain that controls movement
patterns. Parkinson’s disease was
first described by James Parkinson
in 1817 in an essay titled “An Essay
of the Shaking Palsy”. Numerous
attempts have been made to find
the cause of Parkinson’s and finda cure but to date neither has been
successful. It affects 1-2% of the
over 50 year old population in the
US – approximately 1.5 million
people.
It is generally believed that there
are certain environmental factors
that may play a role in developing
Parkinson disease as well as certain
hereditary factors. There may alsobe a combination of these two
factors. Studies have shown that
exposure to pesticides, industrial
waste, and environmental toxins is
involved in the start of disease in
some people. Familial links have
been found in <10% of the cases.
Two recently published studies in the
journal Movement Disorders review
the economic burden associatedwith Parkinson’s disease for those
families in the US. It is estimated
that this burden is at least $14.4
billion per year with the prevalence
(or how widespread the disease is)
more than doubling by 2040.
As a comparison, one of the
studies noted that Parkinson’s
related medical expenses were
approximately $22 800 per patient
compared to $10 000 for someone
without Parkinson’s. More than half
of that increased cost was shown to
be associated with the increased use
of nursing home services. Indirect
costs for Parkinson’s such as missed
work or job loss for the patient or
caregiver, travel expenses to see a
neurologist or movement disorders
specialist, home modifications,
adult day care and personal care
aides added $6.3 billion to the total.
One of the studies also made some
predictions with regard to improving
the economics of this situation
should they find a treatment to slow
the progression of the disease. They
estimated that a 50% slow down
would yield a 35% drop in excess
cost. This would represent a huge
savings that would be spread over a
longer time period representing anincrease in expected survival time.

The Economics of Parkinson’s
Michael J. Fox is one of Canada’s
most recognizable actors and one
of Parkinson’s most recognizable
patients. Fox is best known for his
work as Alex P. Keaton on NBC’s
Family Ties from 1982-89, Michael
Flaherty on ABC’s Spin City from
1996-2000 and as Marty McFly
in the Back to the Future movie
series.
Fox was diagnosed with young-
onset Parkinson’s disease in 1991but wouldn’t go public with his
condition until 1998. He started
the Michael J. Fox Foundation
for Parkinson’s Research in 2000
and has become his life’s primary
professional focus. Fox believes
that with a concentrated effort
from the Parkinson’s community
government and general public
Parkinson’s researchers canfi
nallypinpoint the cause and find a cure
within our lifetime.From: www.michaeljfox.org

2. Shop: Take the time to read the food labelsand compare to other similar items in that aisleof the store – try to load up on the nutrient rich
foods. Fill your cart with vegetables, fruit,whole grains, milk products, lean fresh meatand meat/protein alternatives such as legumes.Try to skip the processed foods that are filledwith less nutrient rich alternatives like fat,sugar and salt.
3. Shop in the Bulk Section: you will savemoney by buying only the amount you need.
4. Shop as a team: Grocery shop with a friend orfamily member so that you can take advantage
of the lower cost of volume discounts.
5. Buy only what you need: if you can’t shopwith someone else, break up a bunch of bananas, buy half a dozen eggs and ask thebutcher to split packages of meat. If you dobuy bigger packages of meat, divide these intosingle portions and place in your freezer forlater.
6. Cook: Prepare your meals from scratchwith the nutrient rich foods you have justshopped for. Healthy eating doesn’t have
to be complicated; nutritious foods can beconvenient as well – frozen fruit, already madesalads and pre-prepared fruit and veggiesoffers a simple shortcut.
