12, 2008 12:58 PM The Arizona Republic When Brian Whitcomb’s two-year term as president of the PGA of America came to an end in an elaborate send-off Saturday at a north Phoenix resort, it was clear that his tenure had left a lasting impact on the organization and the game. There were personal tributes from the likes of PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem and video-taped salutations from Tiger Woods and other prominent golf figures. Whitcomb, 53, is the first member of the Southwest Section of the PGA to become national president and rose from humble beginnings in the golf business. It started in 1978 when he went to work as a bagboy at Arizona Biltmore. Three years later he answered an ad placed in the Arizona Republic by Maricopa County, seeking a proposal to lease Paradise Valley Park Golf Course.

Murray Johnson, counsel for pharmacist Ranjith Lalloo and his wife Emily, had outlined to the Circuit Civil Court how the couple’s back garden had become an out-of-bounds area for family members. He told Judge Jacqueline Linnane that the Lalloos estimated that about 500 golf balls had been hit into their garden by errant golfers missing the 16th fairway at the Castleknock Golf and Country Club. Mrs Lalloo also told the court her daughter had been disturbed while sunbathing by golfers entering their property in search of golf balls. She said she had to store away a trampoline which her grandchildren loved to play on and keep them out of harm’s way in the garden.
