Ted Schulz Back in So Cal Golf

Newport Beach, CA-The Champions Golf Tour has a stop this week in Southern California. The Toshiba Classic Golf Tournament will bring a field of the top Senior Tour players in the world to the Newport Beach Country Club. Players like Lee Trevino, Tom Watson, Ben Crenshaw, Bernard Langer and Ted Schulz will be in the field.
Ted Schulz? Yes, you know the guy who won the Southern Open in 1989 and the Nissan L.A. Open at Riviera in 1991. The guy who came out to the desert after college and picked the range at Bermuda Dunes County Club for $150 dollars a week. Ted Schulz, the guy, who was supposedly at the top of his game and then fell off the tour radar.
What happened to Ted Shulz you ask? Ted decided to go with a manufacturer who would pay him to play their product. No longer was Ted playing the Powerbilt driver he could carry easily 300 yards or the Ping irons that he could hit with tour precision. After the equipment change, Ted never hit a golf ball quite the same again and he lost his passion for tournament golf.

Ted faded out of the tour spotlight and moved to Kentucky where he took the Director of Golf position at the Cardinal Club in Louisville. Ted Schulz, a Louisville native who played college golf at the university, has been the director of golf ever since the Cardinal Club opened in the fall of 2001. Ted got married, started a family, and settled down leaving the crazy tour life in exchange for God, stability and family.
Ted has played some sporadic tournaments on the tours over the last 15 some odd years, mostly on the Nationwide Tour. Ted became eligible to play on the Champions Tour this season and qualified to play in the Toshiba Classic by winning the qualifier on Monday. Ted is now back in golf, playing his old Ping irons, so look out and if he can putt, you might just remember his name next time.
