Ricki Rarick Junior Golf Benefit

Former University of Arizona golfer Don Pooley tees off on the 8th hole at the 2006 Chrysler Classic of Tucson at Omni Tucson National Golf Resort & Spa.

UA men’s golf coach Jim Anderson made a good move this summer, adding long-time PGA Tour and Champions Tour golfer Don Pooley as a volunteer assistant coach. Pooley, an Arizona alumnus who won the 2002 U.S. Senior Open and also won two PGA Tour events, retired from competitive golf two years ago. The Wildcats will benefit from his short-game expertise and mental approach, which defined Pooley’s four decades as a pro.
