MINZY You Don’t Stop Playing Golf When You Get Old Poster

“We just dreamed of maybe one day going there, seeing the place, you know?” Austin said. “I never imagined him winning it and me caddying for him and setting the scoring record. I still don’t think it’s hit me yet and sunk in. It’s hard to believe.”

Dustin was introduced to golf when he was 6 or 7 years old. His father, Scott Johnson, a former all-state high school football player, had taken up the game and wasn’t very good. So Dustin’s grandmother called Jimmy Koosa, an instructor at Weed Hill Driving Range in nearby Irmo, South Carolina, and asked him to give her son lessons.

Koosa ended up teaching her young grandson, too. MINZY You Don’t Stop Playing Golf When You Get Old Poster

“Dustin would come and sit on the golf bag and feed the Doberman while I was giving his daddy a lesson,” Koosa said. “So that was kind of how he got started. I’d yell at him and say, ‘Get off that bag and get a club, swing, just hit that ball,’ and he had no problem trying to do that.”

What made Johnson different from hundreds of other kids Koosa has coached over the years was his work ethic. Inevitably, when young golfers reach the age of 13 or 14, their parents ask Koosa the same question: What do you think?

“Well, here’s what I’ll tell you,” Koosa says to them. “They’re doing really well, but when they get their driver’s license, then we’ll find out. You don’t know until they get that driver’s license. If they take the car to the driving range and/or the golf course, then you might have something. If they take the car to the movie theater or over to one of their buddies’ houses, then maybe not.”

Koosa never had to worry about where Johnson’s car would wind up.

“He would always come to Weed Hill,” Koosa said. “He knew that was a place where he could practice, and a place where he could play. He loved playing the game and enjoyed trying to figure out how to get good at the game. I’d say he pretty much figured it out.”

Growing up, Weed Hill was Johnson’s second home. He estimates he hit a few hundred thousand golf balls there.

“They had lights on the range, and most nights I would shut the lights off when I was leaving,” he said in November.
