Old Chatham: Professional tour golfers are showing a definite like for Old Chatham Golf Club in Durham these days, as it has recently hosted Corey Pavin, Larry Mize, Lee Janzen, Peter Jacobsen, Brad Fritsch, Dave Mathias, Michael Putman, Andrew Putman and Justin Walters, among others.

Also, Webb Simpson was a member at Old Chatham for two years before moving to Charlotte.

Tour players appreciate the privacy of Old Chatham’s Rees Jones-designed course, whose gates open only for members, their guests and teaching professionals’ students. The course itself is located within 400 acres of federally protected land with no housing available.

In addition to the privacy and quality of the facilities, what draws Tour ­players to Old Chatham are two respected and sought-after instructors. Old Chatham founding member and professor of educational psychology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Dr. Richard Coop, is famous for helping professional athletes achieve optimum results.

Coop is a consultant to all the ­athletic teams in the area of mental skills training and performance enhancement, and has worked with a number of professional golfers on the PGA, Senior PGA and LPGA tours.

A partial list of these golfers includes Payne Stewart, Corey Pavin, Ben Crenshaw, Larry Mize, Jim Gallagher Jr., Mark O’Meara, Scott Simpson, Steve Pate, Nick Faldo, Bob Estes, Bob Tway, Gene Littler and Donna Andrews.

Players whom Coop has coached have won a combined six British Opens, four U.S. Opens, four PGA Championships and seven Masters.

Many of these professionals visit Coop at Old Chatham, who counts among its membership some of the best golfers in the area. 

Golf instructor Patrick Kelley recently made Old Chatham his home base, much for the same reason Coop did. The level of service, quality of facilities and privacy provides the perfect atmosphere for Kelley to help his players find their best game.

Kelley helps golfers improve their swing mechanics, short game techniques, mental preparation and other aspects of the game.

Fritsch, who recently earned playing rights on the 2013 PGA Tour, worked on his game with Kelley and improved a half-shot in his putts per round. Kelley’s professional clients have won a combined total of eight PGA Tour wins.

“The course at Old Chatham is just as competitive as the courses that you see on the PGA Tour, which attracts professional golfers,” said John Marino, Old Chatham director of operations.

“Members and guests at Old Chatham have the opportunity to learn from the best by taking lessons with Patrick. He has helped many successful pros take their game to next level and improve their scores, which is a significant draw for many.”
