Jeff Gibson, a teaching pro now in Texas, says he invented a game during his years in Tampa, Fla., called “Bow-Downs” that teaches his young students how to deal with the stress that comes with competitive golf. The Bow-Down loser must get on his knees on the 18th green and bow down, saying: “You’re the greatest. You’re the greatest.” Mr. Gibson says he was looking for something “to make the game competitive, without overstepping the bounds of what a junior golfer should do.” Mr. Gibson admits, while laughing, that “I’ve had to do my share” of bowing down.

Mr. Gibson might be onto something: His 24-year-old son, Patrick, got to PGA Tour Q School a few years back before a motorcycle accident sidelined his career, and his 17-year-old daughter played last week in the Florida Women’s State Amateur.

We are very proud of all of our golfers!
