• Description : "A Brush With Great(e)ness" 12-year...(more)-old Mark Benevento, Jr. of Greate Bay Country Club in Somers Point, New Jersey impresses Tiger Woods by striping two tee shots For more than a decade, Tiger Woods has been wowing golf fans with one amazing performance after another, staking his claim as the greatest golfer in history. Recently, it was Tiger's turn to be impressedby 12-year-old Somers Point resident Mark Benevento, Jr., son of Greate Bay Country Club owner Mark Benevento. Mark, Jr., a 7th grader who regularly shoots in the high 70's, traveled to The Cliffs at High Carolina at the end of September with his father and fellow Greate Bay CC owner Pat Croce to hear Tiger Woods discuss his first-ever golf course design in the United States at The Cliffs, which is currently under development. Part of the event involved Woods hitting a couple of ceremonial tee shots on one of the soon-to-be-finished holes. His first tee shot sailed straight down the middle, but when Tiger teed it up again and swung, he pushed the ball right into the trees. He tried another one with the same result. At that point, Tiger turned to the invited guests and asked if anyone could pull off the shot that he was clearly struggling with. Mark, Jr. raised his hand and Tiger waved him over. Tiger handed Mark a driver. Mark swung and the ball soared straight down the middle about 200 yards. Tiger said, "Let me see you do that again." So Mark hit another, and once again striped it right down the middle. For Mark, Jr., it was a thrill of a lifetime. For Tiger, let's just say he was more than a little impressed. (less)
