JUSTIN VERLANDER DISCUSSES HIS LOVE OF GOLF
by BRIAN MCTAGGART
ou’ve probably seen Justin Verlander on
the celebrity golf circuit of late, teeing it
up with the LPGA’s best in Florida or in
California at the PGA Tour’s AT&T Pebble
Beach Pro-Am. A two-time Cy Young Award
winner and VSGA member at Kinloch Golf
Club in Manakin Sabot, Verlander currently
sports a 3.6 Handicap Index, though it’s been as low as 2.4 in
the last 12 months. After the grind of the baseball season ends,
Verlander’s preferred field of play is the golf course. During
spring training in West Palm Beach, Fla., Verlander—who
attended Goochland High School and Old Dominion Uni-
versity—took some time to speak to Virginia Golfer about his
experience with the game.
