Kalen DeBoer dusted off his golf game Wednesday. Here's how his day went, from inside the ropes.
head coach swung a pitching wedge from just left of the fairway. Behind the green, a grandstand with a tent had been set up. On his final hole of the pro-am event ahead of the Regions Tradition, an opposing fan let out a “War Eagle” during his backswing. DeBoer sailed the ball well over the tent.DeBoer, a 17.7 handicap as of Friday, could only laugh. Especially after one of his playing partners hit it too hard shortly thereafter, nearly taking out poor Stewart Cink, who stood near the green.
Donning a polo shirt advertising UA’s Yea Alabama NIL collective, knee-length Nike golf cargo shorts, a Crimson Tide cap and Nike Air Max 1 ‘86 OG spikeless shoes, he warmed up next to Saban. For a few minutes, the past and future of the Crimson Tide’s head coach hit shots next to each other toward a field goal post that had been placed in the driving range, all while a cover band ran through “Walking in Memphis.
Whether by design or anxiety around the greens, DeBoer appeared a huge proponent of the Texas Wedge. Whether from rough or fairway, if there was a way he could putt a ball near the green, he took it. Just like Saban before him, the fans lining the course wanted to interact. DeBoer signed and signed and signed, making the days of children and eBay merchants alike.
On the 531-yard par-5 13th, Zach Holton, a Birmingham native and the world’s No. 3 ranked professional long driver, shook DeBoer’s hand. He then explained that he’d be hitting the tee shot, one that the group was welcome to use.
