Paying It Forward 

Is What Truly Matters 

Welcome to the ninth edition of the award-winning 

Boeing Classic. This year’s PGA Tour Champions 

Tour golf tournament promises to be the best yet. 

Set in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, this premier 

event showcases some of the sport’s top talent and is a highlight 

of the year for enthusiastic fans. 

What’s more, the Boeing Classic is helping to build a stronger community. Since its start in 

2005, the Classic has raised over $4 million to support research at Virginia Mason Medical 

Center and other local charities. 

Once again, the Classic will pay special tribute to our servicemen and women with Military 

Appreciation Day on Championship Sunday, the final day of the tournament. We hope you 

will join us to say “thank you” for all they do to protect our freedoms and way of life. 

Our sponsorship of the Boeing Classic reflects a commitment to building strong 

relationships — not only with our customers and partners but with the communities we call 

home. We are grateful to our supporters and welcome this opportunity to pay it forward. 

Enjoy the tournament!

Boeing Classic 

An Incredible Experience 

Whether you are familiar with all that the region’s 

premier golf event has to offer or if this is your first 

opportunity to take in such a unique part of the 

Seattle sports landscape, we are excited for you to 

enjoy the Boeing Classic experience. 

With all that this tournament has accomplished in only eight years, there is much to be proud of, but perhaps what stands out most 

is that this tournament has become synonymous with the personality of this community – progressive, loyal, passionate and generous. 

This wouldn’t have been possible without the foundation of tremendous partnerships and supporters… 

• The Boeing Company, Virginia Mason Medical Center and the Champions Tour, the structure 

through which we were built and continue to grow. 

• The 50 tournament sponsors whose corporate support help to make the Boeing Classic one of the 

most successful events on the Champions Tour 

• All of the vendors and construction crews, who worked more than 9,600 man hours to create some 

of the most unique and impressive viewing locations throughout the course that showcase why 

we are all so proud of where we live 

• The 81 pros who compete for the Boeing Classic title and, as always, showcase why they make 

the Champions Tour the most fan-friendly league in sports 

• Mother Nature, who graces us with perfect weather during Tournament Week 

• The 80,000+ fans who converge upon TPC Snoqualmie Ridge and whose active participation 

directly impacts our community 

• The more than 1,000 volunteers who year after year make it all possible 

We hope the spirit of this community will be evident to you in all aspects of your experience at 

TPC Snoqualmie Ridge because there’s a reason why we all come together this week that goes above 

and beyond the game of golf. All proceeds from the Boeing Classic support local charities and in eight years 

the tournament has raised more than $4 million for them. Again this year, your support will directly benefit 

the Benaroya Research Institute at Virginia Mason. BRI is an international leader in immune system and 

autoimmune disease research and is one of the few research institutes in the world dedicated to discovering 

causes and cures to eliminate autoimmune diseases such as Type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, arthritis 

and many others. 

It’s going to be an incredible week and we’re happy that you’re here to be a part of it. 

Enjoy the Show!

FROM THE PRESIDENT 

Champions Tour 

The Spirit of Giving Back 

Is Alive and Well 

On behalf of the Champions Tour, it is my pleasure 

to welcome you to TPC Snoqualmie Ridge and the 

2013 Boeing Classic. 

A year ago, Jay Don Blake defeated Mark O’Meara 

in an exciting playoff to claim his third Champions Tour title. 

It was the second consecutive year fans got to experience a 

playoff at the Boeing Classic, following Mark Calcavecchia’s win 

over Russ Cochran in 2011. 

Last year, Tom Lehman became the first player to claim the Charles Schwab Cup in back-toback 

seasons. Now in its 13th year, the Charles Schwab Cup continues to provide an intriguing 

and exciting season-long competition. The winner and top 10 finishers in this week’s event will 

earn valuable points in the season-long race. 

We would like to thank The Boeing Company for its continued support of the Champions 

Tour. The 2013 event will mark the ninth consecutive year Boeing has been the title sponsor of 

this tournament. Its commitment to this event and to helping those in need is very much a part 

of the structure and fabric of the Champions Tour. 

The spirit of giving back allows the Boeing Classic to draw on a strong volunteer base every 

year, fortifying the community’s support and ownership of the event. I would like to express my 

appreciation to the more than 900 volunteers for their hard work and dedication this week and throughout the year. 

Once again, numerous area charities will benefit from this event, with the main beneficiary the Benaroya Research 

Institute at Virginia Mason, a worldwide leader in autoimmune research. The First Tee of Greater Seattle will also 

benefit. Since its inception in 2005, the event is nearing $4 million in funds raised for worthwhile causes in the area. 

Our thanks to the tournament staff as well as the staff and members of TPC Snoqualmie Ridge for their help in 

staging the event. The Champions Tour thanks you for your attendance and support of the 2013 Boeing Classic. 

Best wishes for an enjoyable tournament. 

Sincerely, 

MIKE STEVENS

SPECTATOR 

ETIQUETTE 

Shhhhhh! 

Model Behavior 

If you’ve never attended a professional golf event, you might find these recommendations helpful. 

• Watch a golf tournament with quiet intent. The game 

requires a lot of concentration and the golfers deserve a 

respectful, courteous atmosphere while hitting. 

• Turn off your cellphone during play, or at least set any electronic 

device to silent mode. Noises from these devices are 

highly disruptive. 

• Use only designated crossing points to move across fairways. 

Never do so during play and always check to make sure the 

players have advanced before crossing. 

• Stand behind spectators who are sitting along the fairway 

ropes. It is improper etiquette to stand in front of anyone 

who is sitting when observing a golf game. 

• Walk briskly only if you must. Typically, you can walk slowly 

to follow your favorite golfer and arrive in plenty of time to 

see each shot clearly. 

• As a spectator, display courteous and respectful demeanor at 

all times. Jeering and booing are highly discouraged. 

• Never stand on the green of a hole or pass beyond roped-off 

competition boundaries. These ropes are placed to keep spectators 

from getting hit and from interfering with the game. 

MORE Tips and REMINDERS 

• Dress comfortably and wear walking shoes. 

• Do not bring food, beverages or cameras onto the course. 

• Concession stands are available around the golf course. 

• Bring sunscreen! 


AT THE BOEING CLASSIC 

The ANA Dreamliner Lounge at the Boeing Classic provides 

one of the most unique sports experiences in our region, 

delivering a picture-perfect setting to watch the legends of 

golf compete at the best event on the Champions Tour. This 

all-inclusive hospitality location overlooks the 18th green 

at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge, where the breathtaking views of the 

Snoqualmie Valley serve as a backdrop for world-class golf 

and provide the perfect venue to mingle with friends and 

business leaders throughout the Northwest.

Perhaps no sport worships at the altar of statistical measurement as ardently as golf. Which may help explain 

Fred Couples’ enormous popular appeal. Because how do you calculate cool No device can accurately quantify 

that easy gait, that elegant swing, that elfin smile. The incalculable nature of his being unflappable 

is what draws people to Couples. 

But when something is deemed immeasurable, rest assured that someone will try to measure it. 

In an attempt to rank the “Coolest Golfers of All Time” this year, Golf Digest gave the grand prize 

to Couples and concluded: “Women love him, and men want to be like him.”

Fred Couples acknowledges the gallery at this year’s Encompass Championship outside Chicago, where he finished second. 

Though he now plays mostly 

against the older set — at least by PGA 

standards — Couples’ youthful insouciance 

makes a round of golf against the best players 

on the best layouts still 

seem as effortless as a 

ferry gliding across the 

sound. It’s not, of course. He has battled 

back problems for a long time and he withdrew 

from last year’s Boeing Classic after 

one swing. He is careful not to push himself 

beyond his physical limits. (He skipped the 

Senior PGA Championship this year to be 

in prime shape for the Senior U.S. Open 

and the British Open.) Still, the fact that 

Couples makes championship golf seem like 

a walk in the park gives his fans and everyday 

golfers a measure of hope. And the fact 

that he may well be the only Hall of Fame 

athlete who was actually born in Seattle 

raises his coolness to epic levels. 

Go ahead and call him Boom Boom (for his still impressive 

drives). Or Cupcakes (as Lee Trevino is wont to do.) But 

don’t call him aloof or detached. “I’d much rather talk about 

“I cannot imagine ever 

witnessing a moment that 

will touch me more deeply 

than this perfect fulfillment 

of a glorious dream ... 

shared by intimate friends 

for so many years.” 

— JIM NANTZ ON COUPLES’ 

’92 MASTERS WIN 

anything but myself,” he told The New York Times two decades 

ago during his most successful time on the PGA Tour. 

This lack of interest in self-reflection has suggested to some 

that Couples can be standoffish. His friends say otherwise. 

CBS broadcaster Jim Nantz has known 

Couples since their golfing days at the 

University of Houston — they would actually 

rehearse the green jacket ceremony 

in their dorm room, as if Couples had just 

won the Masters and Nantz was doing the 

TV commentary — and he says Couples’ 

bashfulness back then was as evident as his 

talent. 

When Couples actually won the Masters 

in 1992, Nantz was indeed working the 

event for CBS and he has called it the most 

memorable sporting event he has covered. 

At the time, he said, “I cannot imagine ever 

witnessing a moment that will touch me 

more deeply than this perfect fulfillment 

of a glorious dream ... shared by intimate 

friends for so many years.” 

Nantz was equally moved earlier this year when his good 

friend was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. It was a 


Local Hero 

controversial choice: Not everyone believes Couples’ record of 

15 wins on the PGA Tour and only one major championship 

— that 1992 Masters — qualified him for election. Couples 

doesn’t necessarily disagree, but he also points out that it wasn’t 

his call to make and that he was flattered to receive the honor. 

As most Seattle golf fans know, Couples learned the game 

on the public course at Jefferson Park, not far from the house 

he grew up in on Beacon Hill. “I caddied for a friend of my 

brother’s,” Couples noted in his Hall of Fame acceptance 

speech. “... I didn’t even know what I was doing. We were baseball 

people. My brother was a baseball player, my father was a 

baseball player.” 

Couples himself was a pretty fair baseball player, but after that 

early caddying experience, his attention turned primarily to golf. 

During summer vacations, his mother, Violet, would give him 

$5 each day — a lot of money for a working-class family in the 

late ’60s and early ’70s — to cover golf course fees and lunch. At 

age 14, the plot thickened when Couples attended a golf clinic 

in Seattle put on by Trevino. “After a couple hours,” he says, 

“I knew I wanted to get involved in golf.” 

Couples admits that he is not driven like some athletes. And 

his back, which he injured in 1994 at the top of his game, limits 

his ability to practice. Still, he retains, in the words of technique 

coach Jim McLean, another Seattle native, “one of the most 

beautiful looking swings in the history of golf.” It’s something 

the TV commentators will talk about as long as Couples is playing 

the game. 

Same goes for the “coolness” factor. “He’s never tried to be 

cool,” says Nantz. “It’s always been Fred just being Fred.” 

For example, although he now lives in the California desert, 

Couples says he remains a Seattle guy at heart. “Every time I 

wake up,” he says, “I look to see what the Mariners are doing, or 

the Seahawks or the Huskies. ... I went into the World Golf Hall 

of Fame as a Washingtonian.” 

As for playing before his hometown fans, Couples says he 

doesn’t necessarily feel added pressure. In 2010, he almost won 

the U.S. Senior Open at Sahalee, finishing second to Bernhard 

Langer. “I played well there for 71 of 72 holes,” Couples jokes. 

“I just have to play better.” 

What he likes best about playing in Seattle is “seeing all 

my friends.” It’s this common touch, this ability to relate 

to the masses who can’t do what he can with a golf club, 

that makes Couples so cool. Even his shyness is cool, because 

it’s honest. 

At the World Golf Hall of Fame induction ceremony in May, 

Couples got emotional and said, “This is the coolest night of my 

life.” 

He would know. 

“I look to see what the 

Mariners are doing, 

or the Seahawks or the 

Huskies. ... I went into 

the World Golf Hall 

of Fame as a 

Washingtonian.”

GIVING 

BACK 

Local Ties 

Driving 

the Future of Aviation 

Regarded by many as the most powerful club in a golf caddy, the driver propels a golf ball 

long distances toward the cup. For almost 100 years, Boeing has been the driver of discovery 

and technology, producing world-changing products and services that have propelled 

the aerospace industry long distances to reach new frontiers. Forecasts suggest that over 

the next 20 years the world’s fleet of commercial airplanes will double in size. To meet this 

demand, Boeing is hard at work developing tomorrow’s airplanes today. 

The 787-8 Dreamliner 

is performing well in 

service with airlines 

around the world. 

New members of the 

787 family that can 

fly more passengers 

farther with unmatched fuel efficiencies 

are not far behind. The 787-9 leverages 

the visionary design of the 787-8, incorporating 

passenger-pleasing features 

that make the flying experience more 

comfortable and enjoyable. In May, the 

first 787-9 began final assembly on time 

in Everett, and the airplane is on track 

to fly later this year. In June, Boeing 

launched the third and largest member 

of the family, the 787-10, which already 

has support from top airlines around the 

world. 

And that’s not all. Boeing has new 

products on the horizon that will ensure 

continued leadership in the twin- and 

single-aisle markets. 

Boeing recently began developing the 

777X, a new derivative of the passengerpreferred 

777 model. Building upon 

today’s 777 reliability for long-haul flight, 

the 777X will feature new engines and 

composite wings to comfortably and efficiently 

transport passengers and deliver 

cargo worldwide. 

In 2011, Boeing announced the 737 

MAX will be the next installment in the 

737 family. Building on the best-selling 

Next-Generation 737, the 737 MAX 

will offer better fuel efficiency and an 

increased range of flight. The Boeing Sky 

Interior with larger overhead bins will 

further enhance the flying experience 

for passengers. In addition to increased 

efficiency, range and comfort, the MAX 

will offer a superior environmental advantage 

over similarly sized airplanes with 

reduced CO₂ and noise emissions. 

Boeing is also producing a new aerial 

refueling system for the U.S. Air Force. 

Building off the commercial 767, the 

KC-46 Tanker will offer advanced refueling 

capabilities while maintaining exceptional 

operating and fuel efficiencies. 

Near the end of the decade, these 

new airplanes will join a long line of 

beloved products and services offered 

by Boeing. The 787 Dreamliner is now 

in service and flying passengers all over 

the world. The Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental 

continues to offer double-digit 

improvements in burn emissions over its 

predecessor, while generating 30 percent 

less noise. The Next-Generation 737 

and Boeing 777 continue to be favorites 

among the world’s airlines. Additionally, 

Boeing’s Commercial Aviation Services 

organization provides renowned service 

to our airline customers, keeping their 

airplanes in top flying condition. 

Giving back is a defining 

characteristic of Boeing 

culture. In 2012, the company, 

its employees and retirees 

collectively contributed 

$51 million to improve lives 

and communities in the 

Northwest. These dollars 

benefited health and 

human services, arts and 

culture, civic endeavors, 

education, the environment, 

and military members, 

veterans and their families. 

Although we may be best known 

for our commercial airplanes, Boeing 

provides so much more. The Boeing 

Defense, Space and Security unit supplies 

global military, government and commercial 

customers with a wide range 

of defense and space products, such as 

transport aircraft, fighter jets, helicopters, 

satellites and launch services and leadingedge 

communications technologies. 

Boeing Capital Corporation provides 

global financing solutions for the sale 

and delivery of our products. Boeing’s 

Shared Services Group provides the 

infrastructure services needed to run 

global operations. And Boeing Engineering, 

Operations and Technology supports 

the company with critical skills, processes 

and technologies. 

With more than 160,000 employees 

worldwide, an innovative product development 

strategy and services to ensure 

the success of our customers, we are 

well-positioned for growth and continued 

leadership in an increasingly competitive 

market. 

And while Boeing is a global company, 

it never loses sight of its local 

ties. All of Boeing’s operating groups 

have a significant presence in the Puget 

Sound region. In addition to the 85,000 

employees in the state, our extended 

enterprise includes thousands of suppliers 

and vendors who provide tens of thousands 

of non-aerospace jobs throughout 

Washington. 

Giving back is a defining characteristic 

of Boeing culture, and its commitment to 

philanthropy is far-reaching. In 2012, the 

company, its employees and retirees collectively 

contributed $51 million to improve 

lives and communities in the Northwest. 

These dollars benefited health and human 

services, arts and culture, civic endeavors, 

education, the environment, and military 

members, veterans and their families. 

Our employees have a history of generously 

responding to crises around the 

world with financial contributions to 

regions in need. Just this spring, Boeing 

and its employees contributed nearly 

$550,000 to support tornado stricken locations 

in the United States. Boeing and 

its airline customers regularly partner to

Hauschka, Tate get a crash course at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge. 

Seahawks kicker Steven Hauschka and wide receiver Golden Tate recently played at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge. Hauschka hoisted the winner’s trophy, if only temporarily. 

Tom Kite. David Eger. Denis 

Watson. Loren Roberts. Bernhard Langer. 

Mark Calcavecchia. Jay Don Blake. 

Some of the best golfers on the planet 

have played some of their best golf while 

winning the Boeing Classic the past eight 

years—including 

Blake sinking a birdie putt on the 

second playoff hole to defeat Mark 

O’Meara last year. 

As a prelude to this year’s event August 

19-25, Seahawks kicker Steven Hauschka 

and wide receiver Golden Tate took to 

TPC Snoqualmie Ridge recently to test 

their skills on the challenging course. 

This following-in-their-footsteps 

adventure included playing the demanding 

14th and 18th holes, where so many 

of the Boeing Classic events have been 

decided. Hauschka used a smooth swing 

that matches the way he kicks a football 

to record four pars and a birdie on the 

final five holes, and he came tantalizingly 

close to an eagle on No. 18 as his 

12-foot putt somehow rolled just past 

the cup on the right side without falling 

in. Tate’s drives on No. 15 and No. 16 

had him hitting second shots to get back 

on the proper fairway from rough on 

No. 16 and No. 15. But he recovered 

nicely to card pars on each hole, finishing 

with three pars and two bogeys in 

the five-hole stretch. 

Are Tate and Hauschka ready to trade in one set of cleats for 

another after their impressive afternoon 

“It’s usually a different course the way they set it up [for the 

tournament],” Hauschka said. “It’s a lot faster. The pins are 

“You want to give your 

best effort out on the golf 

course. Hit ’em straight 

and long. Have a lot of 

putts around the green. 

But I think the best way 

to excel at this sport is to 

play against the course, 

not the other three guys 

in the foursome.” 

—Golden Tate 

harder. Amateur golfers rarely see what it’s like to play a true 

tournament course, so it’s hard to compare.” 

But they can appreciate the spectacular views the course offers, 

especially from the 14th hole. 

“It is beautiful,” Tate said, standing next to the bunker on 

the right side of the 14th green that has earned its devilish 

nickname. “I’d like to be here during the 

Boeing Classic and watch this hole be 

played.” 

Tate also offered some always-compete 

advice for the participants in this year’s 

Boeing Classic. 

“It’s either you’re competing or you’re 

not,” he said, echoing the message that is 

the cornerstone of Seahawks Coach Pete 

Carroll’s philosophy. 

“You want to give your best effort 

out on the golf course. Hit ’em straight 

and long. Have a lot of putts around 

the green. But I think the best way to 

excel at this sport is to play against the 

course, not the other three guys in the 

foursome.” 

Rather than wonder what might have 

been, Tate is content to watch the pros 

and earn his money in his chosen sport. 

“For me, it’s just a nice outlet,” he said. 

“The reason I love golf is that I can walk 

off the course feeling just as good as I did 

walking on.” 

Before walking off the TPC Snoqualmie 

Ridge course, Hauschka and Tate 

hoisted the cut-glass trophy that Kite has 

won twice (2006 and 2008) and Eger (2005), Watson (2007), 

Roberts (2009), Langer (2010), Calcavecchia (2011) and Blake 

(2012) also have lifted over their heads. 

“Go, golf,” Hauschka said. “And go, Seahawks.” 



VOLUNTEER 

SPOTLIGHT 

Giving Their Time 

Friends and Family 

For some, volunteering at the Boeing Classic is a way to stay close. 

Sisters Kellie Fryman, Rhonda 

Scroggins and Kristie Hogan 

are Boeing Classic volunteer 

veterans. Kellie, from Marysville, 

started volunteering in 

2005. Rhonda, of Flint, Texas, has been 

working the event since 2007. Kristie, of 

Flower Mound, Texas, joined up in 2008. 

Kellie Fryman 

How did you become involved in the 

Boeing Classic Our father was an avid 

golfer. He loved to play, talk and watch 

golf. He passed away in April 2005 and I 

was transferred to Boeing’s Everett plant 

in May of the same year, not knowing 

anyone and missing my family. I received 

an email looking for volunteers at the 

Boeing Seattle Classic, so I jumped on 

board. 

What keeps you coming back The 

other volunteers I have met over the 

years. I look forward to seeing them 

every year. 

Any special stories from your tournament 

experience One year out on the 

driving range, it was set up that one 

person would pull the golfers’ names 

from the box, while the others would call 

the names and place them on the holders 

where they would be practicing. The 

golfer Sandy Lyle came on the range and 

Rhonda, with her southern accent, called 

his last name, and the person pulling the 

names looked at me and said, “I have 

no clue what she said.” I told him “Lyle” 

in my southern accent and he just said, 

“Please spell that.”

Rhonda Scroggins 


Boeing Classic I became involved when 

Kellie told me how much she enjoyed 

working the tournament. I thought it 

would be a great opportunity to spend 


Giving Their Time 

time with her and volunteer my time at 

the golf tournament. That was in 2007 

and I’ve been participating ever since. 

What keeps you coming back I enjoy 

seeing all the friends/volunteers I’ve come 

to know over the years. Also, it gives me a 

chance to spend time with my sisters. We 

always have a great time together. 

Any special stories from your 

tournament experience What I find 

magical about the tournament is the 

flyover. No matter what anyone is doing 

on the course, they stop and look up as 

the plane slowly flies over; it is as if you 

could reach up and touch it. It is like a 

first-time experience every year. Also, the 

sheer beauty of the course. I would encourage 

everyone to walk it at least once. 

Kristie Hogan 


Boeing Classic Well, after Kellie and 

Rhonda volunteered together and talked 

about how much fun they had and the 

people and the beauty of the course, I 

couldn’t stand them having so much fun 

without me. So I signed up to volunteer 

for the 2008 tournament. After my first 

year, I regretted that I missed out on the 

year before. 

What keeps you coming back Several 

things. It’s a refreshing climate change 

from the Texas heat and I enjoy the 

other volunteers and committee chairs. 

Since we have participated for so many 

years, we know the committee chairs and 

several of the other volunteers, so it’s like 

a reunion each year we return. We get to 

catch up on each other’s happenings from 

the past year and make some new memories. 

It’s also fun when we meet new 

driving range volunteers because we are 

introduced as “The Sisters,” as if we are 

some sort of legend. Most importantly, I 

keep coming back for the opportunity to 

volunteer my time for a great cause and I 

get to be with my sisters. Our dad was an 

avid golfer; he absolutely loved the game. 

I think he would enjoy that golf is one 

of the occasions that brings us together 

every year. 


experience In 2011, just after 

the flyover, I was putting out a player’s 

nameplate next to where Tom Kite was 

practicing. He approached me and asked, 

“What type of aircraft was that” I must 

have looked at him like he was speaking 

a foreign language because I have zero 

knowledge of airplanes. I told him, “Oh, 

you have the wrong sister.” Since Kellie 

had worked for Boeing for more than 13 

years at that time and served in the Marines 

over 10 years, she was better suited 

to answer Tom’s question. I waved Kellie 

over and said, “Mr. Kite has a question 

about the plane that flew over,” and she 

took it from there. 

Standard bearer Jim Sapienza and his assistant, son 

Jenner. 

Jim Sapienza has been a volunteer 

standard bearer at the Boeing Classic 

since 2006. 

Jim Sapienza 


Boeing Classic I attended my first Boeing 

Classic in 2005 as a first-year employee 

at Virginia Mason. I did not volunteer 

that year because I had just started at the 

company and was not sure I could take 

time away from work. Later, VM made it 

clear that employees were encouraged to 

get work coverage and volunteer for the 

event. I have volunteered every year since, 

even after I joined another company. I 

enjoy seeing my former VM colleagues at 

the event each year. 

What keeps you coming back I love 

the venue, the weather, the views, the 

outdoor beauty. I love to work Day One 

for the flyover start, for the feeling of 

hope and anticipation that pervades the 

course. This event is close to my home 

and feels like a community event to me. 

... When I walk inside the ropes as a 

standard bearer, I can feel the energy and 

intense focus and concentration of these 

elite golfers. A pure rush, every year. 


experience When Bill [McAllister] 

invited my son, Jenner, to join me as a 

standard bearer’s assistant, it absolutely 

made his summer. At the end of the day, 

Jenner said, “This has been my best day 

of summer vacation.” My favorite golfer 

to walk with over the past seven years has 

been Brad Faxon. His relaxed and social 

nature on the golf course was fun and 

good for the group. When Ben Crenshaw 

was having a not-so-good day, Brad knew 

the right time to walk with him up the 

fairway, and when to let him walk alone. 

His awareness and attention to golfer, 

volunteer, fan, worker were extraordinary. 

And he shot three under. 

Keith Bromley of Idaho has been 

volunteering with a good friend 

since 2009. 

Keith Bromley 


Boeing Classic I received a promotional 

notice that the tournament was looking 

for volunteers. I asked my lifelong friend, 

Dick Leander, if he’d be interested, and 

without any hesitation he said, “Sure!” 

What keeps you coming back First, 

the people. We love getting to see folks 

that we’ve met in years past, and Bill 

[McAllister] and Sharon [Hemphill], the 

chairs of the standard bearers, are wonderful. 

Finally, we get to walk a gorgeous 

course and see some great players. 


experience I was hustling up the 

fairway with the standard on hole No. 

3. A player had hit onto the green and 

was walking his putt as I puffed my way 

into the chair set up behind the green, 

placed the standard into the holder and 

made myself as still and quiet as I could. 

Just before the pro made his stroke, I 

realized I was seated right on the line of 

his putt — but I didn’t dare move! As we 

made our way to the next hole, he was 

alongside me for a moment and I said, “I 

am so sorry I was in your sight line back 

there.” He said, “Really I didn’t notice. 

Of course, if I had missed that putt, you 

would definitely have been in my line.”

There aren’t a lot of photos on Rocco 

Mediate’s personal Facebook page, but one of them 

shows the six-time PGA Tour winner teeing off on 

the 12th hole of the TPC Course at Snoqualmie 

Ridge, home to the Boeing Classic. 

Mediate, who won the Allianz Championship 

in February — it was his first time playing on the Champions Tour 

— is becoming somewhat of an authority on Seattle because his three 

sons, Rocco, Nicco and Marco, live in Bellevue with their mom (and 

Mediate’s ex-wife), Linda. So Mediate spends enough time in the Puget 

Sound region to qualify as more than an occasional tourist. Here are 

some of his favorite haunts.

Rocco Mediate has some recommendations 

for visitors to Seattle.

DINING 

Metropolitan Grill, Seattle 

John Howie Steak, Bellevue 

“I learned about the Metropolitan 

during the PGA Tournament 

(in 1998). I’m not a fish person. 

Old-school steakhouses are my 

favorite places.” 

Wild Ginger, Seattle and 

Bellevue 

“Take your pick. I love ’em 

both.” 

ATTRACTIONS 

EMP Museum, Seattle 

“The Jimi Hendrix stuff 

is pretty cool. I’ve been there 

two or three times since my 

first visit. I love music and 

getting to learn things I didn’t 

know.” 

Space Needle, Seattle 

“The height scares me a bit. 

Haven’t done the new Great 

Wheel for that reason. I’ll just 

take a picture.” 

GOLFING 

TPC Snoqualmie Ridge, 

Snoqualmie 

“It’s fantastic. I take the boys 

up there whenever I’m home.” 

Sahalee Country Club, 

Sammamish 

“One of my favorite courses in 

all the land.” 

SHOPPING 

Downtown retail district, 

Seattle 

“A load of fun. Pike Place 

Market, too.” 

REFRESHMENT 

The original Starbucks, Seattle 

“A four-shot iced espresso with 

a teeny bit of light mocha.” 

FITNESS 

David Barton Gym, Bellevue 

“My boys are gym rats in 

phenomenal shape. I look at them 

and say, ‘What happened to me’” 

Rocco on TPC Snoqualmie Ridge 

THE LAYOUT. “Jack (Nicklaus) had a neat piece of land to work 

on. He did a great job.” 

THE CHALLENGE. “There’s a lot of slope out there. You play 

around the slope.” 

KEY HOLES. No. 14 (Bear’s Canyon). “A risk/reward par 

four. I’ll be one of the guys trying to drive the green. You’ve got a 

shot at a three but big penalties if you miss. It could change the 

whole outlook of the event.” No. 18 (Craftsman). “A good par 

five to finish on because anything can happen. You could be two 

back and still have a chance.” 

Mediate grew up in Greensburg, about 10 miles from Arnold Palmer’s home in Latrobe, Pa. He played with Palmer for the first time when he was 19, at Latrobe CC.

DEFENDING 

CHAMPION

Open 

Minded 

Boeing Classic’s 2012 champion 

registers a noteworthy 

achievement in 2013. 

For defending boeing classic champion 

Jay Don Blake, the longest drive of the year may 

well have been the one he made from Des Moines, 

Iowa, after finishing second to Russ Cochran at the 

Principal Charity Classic on June 2. Blake packed 

up his clubs as soon as the Champions Tour event 

wrapped on Sunday and motored 350 miles to Ladue, Missouri, a 

suburb of St. Louis, to compete in a U.S. Open sectional qualifier the 

next day at Old Warson Country Club. He struggled early, but Blake 

won the 36-hole contest by three shots with a 3-under-par 139 and 

qualified for his first U.S. Open appearance in 10 years. 

At 54, Blake was the oldest player in the U.S. Open field in 

mid-June at Merion Golf Club outside Philadelphia, where he 

carded a 74 the first day but missed the cut after a frustrating 

second round on the par-70 course. 

A month later, Blake was in Nebraska for the U.S. Senior Open at 

Omaha Country Club. He led after the first day but finished down 

the leaderboard, earning a modest $14,827 in prize money but also 

the distinction of being the only player this year to compete in both 

the U.S. Open and the U.S. Senior Open.

DON’T MISS 

THE ACTION 

TPC Snoqualmie Ridge 

HOLE-BY-HOLE 

COURSE GUIDE 

Southern Descent 

This 554-yard par five is a fantastic 

starting hole. With bunkers coming into 

play on each shot, accuracy is essential. A 

well-placed second shot on the left side of 

the fairway allows for a clear approach to 

the guarded green. Proper club selection 

sets up a strong birdie opportunity. 

Backyard 

The 410-yard second hole is a 

challenging par four. With a generous landing 

area, the hole’s only real obstacle on the 

tee shot is a bunker on the right side of the 

fairway. Still, the tricky, undulating green 

does not yield many birdies. 


HOLE-BY-HOLE 

COURSE GUIDE 


The Ridge 

This long par four is rated the No. 1 

handicap hole on the course. At 462 yards in 

length, it requires a solid drive if a player hopes 

to reach the green in two. Deep bunkers front 

the green to the left and a grassy swale awaits a 

shot drifting to the right. It plays into the prevailing 

wind and slightly uphill, so be sure to select 

enough club to reach the green safely. 

Twin Firs 

This 426-yard par four presents a 

stunning downhill tee shot. Fir trees and 

fairway bunkers guard both sides of the fairway 

and a creek cuts across it at the bottom of the 

hill. The heavily guarded green (short right and 

long) makes proper club selection imperative. 

Fall City 

Named for its view of Fall City and the 

Redmond-Fall City valley, this long par four accepts 

a robust tee shot. A wide fairway and generous 

downhill landing area allow the ball to funnel 

toward the green, but a steep cliff drops off left, 

so be sure to avoid going too far to that side. The 

downhill approach plays shorter than it seems and 

the ball will release toward the hole. 

Cascade 

The aptly named 226-yard par three 

offers a stunning view of the Cascade Mountains 

from the tee box. Don’t let the vista distract you 

from a challenging downhill shot to a heavily 

guarded green. With bunkers short left and long 

right, playing the ball from right to left is a safe bet. 


HOLE-BY-HOLE 

COURSE GUIDE 


Deception 

one of the shortest par fours 

on the course, 375-yard Deception presents 

several challenges: a small lake in front of the 

tee box, an elevated fairway, fairway bunkers 

and deep greenside bunkers. 

The Narrows 

This short, 529-yard par five is 

lengthened by a narrow landing area and a 

lake protecting the front and left side of the 

green. A well-placed second shot to the right 

of the fairway allows the player to attack the 

pin, using the length of the green for safety. 

Going for the flag in two is risky because either 

water or sand abut all sides of the green. 

Screaming Eagle 

This 207-yard par three over water 

and bunkers will test even the strongest nerves. 

With a carry of 196 yards over Eagle Lake and 

an additional 8 yards over the greenfront bunker, 

the ninth can ruin a decent round with one 

poorly executed swing. Commitment to going 

for it is crucial. 

Bunker Hill 

This 353-yard, uphill HOLE is the 

shortest par four on the course, with four 

deep fairway bunkers coming into play off 

the tee. A precise long iron or fairway wood 

is the safest play. Several deep bunkers protect 

an undulating green. 


HOLE-BY-HOLE 

COURSE GUIDE 


Northwest Passage 

This 484-yard par four is long and 

tough, with a series of fairway bunkers protecting 

the fairway right. A tee shot to the left 

side sets up a long approach to the two-tiered 

green, which is guarded by deep bunkers on 

the left. A two-putt par is a good result at this 

challenging hole. 

The Falls 

The black tee box on this par four 

offers a view eastward toward famous Snoqualmie 

Falls. A great tee shot goes right of a 

series of fairway bunkers protecting the left 

side. The two-tiered green demands a precise 

approach to set up a birdie try. Downhill putts 

can be slick. 

Mt. Si-gh 

Mount Si and the surrounding 

Cascade mountain range frame this 210-yard, 

downhill par three, one of the most spectacular 

and inspirational holes on the course. Bunkers 

lurk short and left of the green, so a right-toleft 

tee shot will release to the hole, setting up 

a birdie opportunity. 

Bear’s Canyon 

The 448-yard par-four 14th is the 

signature hole of this Jack Nicklaus course, 

featuring an elevation drop of 80 vertical 

feet from tee to green. The horseshoe-shaped 

fairway can be shortened dramatically with a 

risky tee shot over the canyon. A 14-foot-deep 

bunker guards the small green and should be 

avoided at all costs. Hit a precise approach shot 

to set up a chance at birdie. 


HOLE-BY-HOLE 

COURSE GUIDE 


Valleys 

The 590-yard par five boasts lovely 

views of several valleys slicing through the 

Cascade range. A strong tee shot and a wellplaced 

second shot set up a good angle to the 

protected green. A valley running across the 

center of the green requires a precise approach. 

Rat’s Nest 

At 380 yards, the 16th has 11 bunkers 

awaiting an errant shot, so a well-placed drive 

is a must on this par four. Falling short on the 

approach to an elevated green leaves a difficult 

bunker shot, so choose your club wisely. 

On The Rock 

The 211-yard par three requires a 

difficult tee shot over water and an enormous 

rock to a green divided by a slope into right 

and left tiers. A precise tee shot feeds toward 

the hole. 

Craftsman 

The 498-yard finishing hole proves 

anything but easy. Shortest of the par fives, it 

plays uphill toward the Craftsman-style clubhouse. 

Embraced by a natural amphitheater, 

the fairway and green are guarded by 16 deep 

bunkers. A precise approach shot will leave you 

with a solid birdie bid. As you line up your 

putt, imagine 30,000 fans ready to cheer as it 

rolls in for a PGA tournament victory.

MAKING A 

DIFFERENCE 

Free for 

a Day 

Scientists at BRI 

are working to 

fight more than 

80 autoimmune 

diseases. 

BRI’s artificial pancreas research 

could be a game changer 

in controlling Type 1 diabetes. 

Annie Shultz is determined 

that history won’t repeat itself. Her father, 

Richard Shultz, was diagnosed with Type 

1 diabetes at age 19. Annie watched her 

father struggle with complications her 

entire life. He suffered from eye, kidney, 

heart and nerve diseases, all complications 

attributed to Type 1 diabetes. Annie knew she was at higher risk 

for developing Type 1 diabetes, but was still shocked when at 

age 21 she learned she had the disease. However, her journey 

has been vastly different from her dad’s. Now 34, Angie manages 

her disease vigilantly and participates in a groundbreaking 

clinical research trial at Benaroya Research Instituteat Virginia 

Mason (BRI) in which she will be free of managing her diabetes 

for a day while 

“I count on JDRF and BRI 

to support research to 

find new treatments and 

cures for this disease,” 

says Annie. “It would make 

such a difference in so 

many people’s lives.” 

One in every 20 Americans suffers from 

an autoimmune disease. Type 1 diabetes, 

multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s disease and 

rheumatoid arthritis are just a few. And 

because many causes of autoimmune 

diseases are shared, people living with 

an autoimmune disease are more likely 

to suffer from more than one of these 

destructive illnesses. 

At Benaroya Research Institute at Virginia 

Mason (BRI), scientists aren’t focused 

on eliminating one or two autoimmune 

diseases. They are taking on all 80-plus. 

connected to an 

experimental artificial 

pancreas. 

The artificial 

pancreas 

automatically 

dispenses insulin 

based on realtime 

changes in 

Annie’s blood 

glucose levels. 

The device uses 

existing technologies 

to manage 

Type 1 diabetes 

— an insulin 

pump and a 

continuous glucose monitor — in conjunction with a unique 

software program. The hope is that it will someday relieve adults, 

children and their families from the arduous 24/7 manual maintenance 

of their diabetes. 

This past year, BRI’s tests of the artificial pancreas showed that 

blood glucose levels under highly controlled conditions could be 

Because autoimmune diseases are 

connected, BRI is fighting them through 

collaboration and cooperation among 

researchers, across clinical trials and 

with other institutions. Thus, it is able to 

connect laboratory research to clinical 

trials and apply breakthroughs made 

against individual autoimmune diseases 

to new therapies, and make progress 

against them all. 

As world leaders in scientific innovation, 

researchers at BRI are leveraging 

this progress to eliminate autoimmune 

Touching Lives 

Annie Shultz and BRI nurse practitioner Dana VanBruecken test the artificial pancreas. 

managed through a personalized, automated artificial pancreas 

in several participants with diabetes. Most patients with diabetes 

cannot achieve tight glucose control with traditional diabetes 

tools and they spend less than half of their days at healthy glucose 

levels. Studies show that tight control of levels significantly 

reduces or delays the development of complications. 

While other systems are being tested at selected locations 

worldwide, BRI is the only center nationally testing the unique 

software program for the artificial pancreas. The program was 

developed by Richard Mauseth, M.D., a longtime Pacific Northwest 

pediatric endocrinologist currently at Seattle Children’s, and 

Boeing software engineers Robert Kircher and Don Matheson. 

The BRI artificial pancreas study is funded by the Juvenile 

Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), which has designated 

15 centers worldwide to test various approaches to these devices. 

JDRF aims to develop a first-generation artificial pancreas that 

could help millions of people with Type 1 diabetes. 

“I count on JDRF and BRI to support research to find new 

treatments and cures for this disease,” says Annie. “It would 

make such a difference in so many people’s lives.” 

Progress Against One Autoimmune Disease Is Progress Against Them All 

diseases. Their discoveries are having 

significant impact on people living 

with autoimmune diseases by improving 

the ability to predict disease risk, 

facilitate treatment, decrease progression 

of these diseases and make related 

therapies safer and better. Learn more
