STEVE WALTERS
Columbia Golf Club, Minneapolis
Residence: New Brighton
Age: 60
Lifetime club championships: Two men's and two
senior men's championships at Columbia
Why he won the club championship: " Sometimes
you get lucky and things fall into place. It's
important to be patient because it seems to me the
game is so diffi cult that everybody struggles out
there at one time or another. If you can be patient
and take your lumps as they come and not blow up,
not lose your cool, you can survive and hopefully
turn things around. "

Other accomplishments: Qualifi ed for National Public Links Championships
in 1976 (at Bunker Hills) and 1977
Favorite pro golfers: " Minnesota people. Somebody like Tim Herron,
we all follow Timmy Herron. We all follow him when he's in a tournament.
He's such a wonderful guy. "
Favorite golfer from an earlier era: Ben Hogan
CHAMPION
Did he take the U.S. Ryder Cup loss hard? " My brother Dick and I
and his son Chris, during the Ryder Cup, we were in Ireland, and we
were playing golf there that week. ... It was almost taken for granted
that the U.S. was going to win that Ryder Cup, and when Europe
came back to win on that last day ... I told my brother, I think this is
good for the game, I think it's good for the Ryder Cup whenever the
favorite doesn't win-not that the U.S. was the favorite going into
the tournament, but going into the fi nal day they were. It generates
more interest. "
Favorite courses within 25 miles of his hometown (not his home
course): Wayzata CC, Interlachen CC, Woodhill CC
Connections: His brother Dick is the head professional at Wayzata
CC; another brother, Charley, is a columnist at the St. Paul Pioneer
Press. Steve was the longtime club manager at Gross National in
Minneapolis and also managed Columbia.
Best hole on his home course: " No. 16, a real good par 4. 430 yards.
It's a great hole, and the last 150 yards are uphill and quite penal if
you hit it to the right. "
What he likes about golfi ng in Minnesota: " When you do get a nice
day, you really appreciate it. "
