The Father's Day Special
How would you react if you were standing on the first tee and a PGA Tour player walked up and said, "Hey, mind if I join you?"
OK, how would you react if you were standing on the first tee with your dad, and that first tee was at the Old Course, and Golf Channel cameras were there to record your round, and the PGA Tour player had his own son in tow?
That's what happened to Joshua Madsen of Centerville, Utah, who won the Golf Channel's Father's Day Dream Trip sweepstakes and got to take his dad to The Old Course at St. Andrews. (Dad - David Madsen - is on the right, his son next to him.)
Unbeknownst to the Madsens, Tom Lehman had agreed to bring his own son, Thomas, to St. Andrews. The Madsens didn't know about this bonus until Lehman walked up to them on the first tee and asked if he and Thomas could join their group.
Cameras were there because the Golf Channel will edit the round into a future episode of Playing Lessons with the Pros.
"He taught me how to hit out of the famous Road Hole bunker on number 17, and I got it up and down," said Joshua. "I can go home a very happy man."
