Al Geiberger Becomes the First PGA Tour Player in History to Score a 59

This event has not been added to any topics.

Once the 59 Club was a big, empty house with just one occupant, Al Geiberger.

Oh, there was talk that Sam Snead had been there in the late 1950s, but Geiberger was the only official resident.

Geiberger, who resides in Palm Desert, moved into the house in 1977 and lived there alone for 14 years. But today that house is bulging at the seams. From LPGA players to Japan Tour players to school boys in Alabama, Geiberger has so much company in the 59 Club they might have to start building an extra wing on the place.
