OUR PANEL
PGA Tour pros Billy Mayfair, Jon Rahm (like Mayfair, a former Sun Devil), James Hahn, Robert Garrigus, Ricky Barnes, Aaron Baddeley and
Kevin Streelman, and LPGA Tour pro Ryann O’Toole.
After graduating from Phoenix Camelback High School, Billy Mayfair thought he would play collegiate golf at Oklahoma
State. h He loved everything about the place. The campus, the coach, the facilities. There was just one drawback: the
weather. h “The wind blew and it was cold and I said to myself, ‘Why leave a perfect climate?’” Mayfair recalled. h Mayfair
went on to have a great collegiate career at Arizona State University and now, at the age of 50 and a member of the PGA
Champions Tour, he’s glad he never moved from what he calls the “golf capital of the world.” h “It’s just perfect,” he said. h
Mayfair isn’t alone in that view. With the Waste Management Phoenix Open on tap this week we asked golfers who live in
the Valley why they think Arizona golf rocks.
