AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tommy Fleetwood hung back a little, easing his gait, the way friends do. Gray Moore shuttled along, trying to keep up, but resigned to his own speed. Sometimes it’s tough to tell which side his limp favors, right or left. The hobble sure seems painful. It was a little after 4 o’clock on Friday.
It’s called local knowledge, and Moore has it by the barrel. He was born and raised in Augusta, growing up playing Augusta Municipal Golf Course, and later became the city course’s assistant pro. According to longtime Augusta Chronicle writer David Westin, Moore didn’t exactly give lessons but more so made sure the place stayed open.
