Cliff Richey scores second hole-in-one in nine weeks
Former U.S. No. 1 tennis player Cliff Richey is starting to prove that he is more accomplished at golf than he ever was at tennis.The three-time major singles semifinalist and hero of the 1970 championship-winning U.S. Davis Cup team scored his second hole-in-one in nine weeks – and his fifth of his life – last Saturday at the Southwind Golf Course in Garden City, Kansas.
Playing a “six-some” along with former World Series Most Valuable Player Ralph Terry of the New York Yankees, Richey holed out on the 150-yard ninth hole with his 27-degree utility club. Richey went on to shoot 77 on the day. On May 23, Richey hit a hole-in-one in Phoenix, Ariz., at Cave Creek Golf Course on the 160-yard par 3 13th hole – using the same club, his 27 degree utility club – and witnessed by his friend Bobby Brower. He went on to shoot a round of 75.
“My hole-in-ones seem to happen close together,” said Richey, whose memoir ACING DEPRESSION: A TENNIS CHAMPION’S TOUGHEST MATCH was released last year. “Two out of my first three 20 years ago were also within weeks of one another. My calculation is that in those 20 years, I have played at least three thousand rounds, which probably computes to 12,000 par threes that I have played so the way I see it, I was overdue!”
Richey first took up golf at the age of 31 and became a scratch golfer within four years. He competed on the Celebrity Golf Tour and still competes in celebrity and fund-raising events around the country. The following is an excerpt from ACING DEPRESSION ($19.95, New Chapter Press, www.CliffRicheyBook.com ) where Richey discusses his golf game and how it has helped him in his fight against depression.
A ” mulligan” in golf is a second chance. You can buy a mulligan in a golf game so you can take another shot on a given hole. But unlike in a golf game, you can’t buy a mulligan in real life. It has to be given to you by God. I have been given so many second chances in my life. I started taking Zoloft on my 50th birthday, New Year’s Eve of 1996. That was the first of many rebirths. The beautiful thing is that in recovery, almost everything in your life becomes a second chance. Hope is the foundation of our great country of America. Hope is such a driver of the normal human condition. The sum total of my awful disease was “loss of hope.” That’s the truly awesome thing about recovery: once you come back, your whole life after that feels like a second chance.

I have made no secret of the fact that I have a son serving in the U.S. Army currently deployed in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan. As his father, I am very proud of him and of his service, but at the same time, I worry about his safety everyday like any other parent. His service in Afghanistan has brought the war very close to home. It is hard to know and understand what transpires there until you become closer to it like my family and the families of other service members. I truly cherish the moments we are able to talk, which are limited and I can say our conversation always includes how his fellow soldiers are doing.
I am very disheartened to report that two of my son’s battalion comrades were lost this past Sunday to a IED attack. The two fallen heroes were, PFC Tyler Springman, 19 of Hartland, Me. and SFC Kenneth Elwell, 33 of Holland, Pa. They are members of the 21st Infantry Regiment, 1st Stryker Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division based at Ft. Wainwright, Ak.
These two losses were very close to home considering all being in the same unit. As someone who has a loved one in the conflict, I know the emotions that every family works through. I cannot imagine however, the pain these two brave families are dealing with now and my heartfelt sympathy as a fellow Army parent, is with these folks in this time of grief.
As individuals and as a nation, we must put aside our differences and opinions at various moments to personally reflect upon the ultimate sacrifice these brave sons and daughters of our nation have given to us. These brave souls who fought and died for our freedom, deserve no less than our enduring appreciation and gratitude and their families deserve our continued thoughts and prayers.
Even though I did not personally know these two brave individuals named above, I and our nation have been blessed by their very presence and their highest calling to duty, honor and country. May God bless these fallen heroes and their comrades who have fallen before, their families who move onward and the people of this great and appreciative nation.
