HITTING A HOLE-IN-ONE
Eisenhower orthopedic physician returns patient to his golf gameLike many desert residents, Mike Laughlin, 81, lives and breathes golf. He normally plays up to four times a week, holds a single-digit handicap and has shot his age more than 300 times — the first time at 69, 12 years ago.
But Laughlin’s back story sets him apart from most golfing aficionados — a 35-year history of developing and marketing golf course communities.
He started to play golf seriously at age 13. “It’s always been my sport of choice,” says Laughlin. He became a caddy, a championship junior golfer and a college athlete.
Laughlin’s first career out of college was as an Air Force fighter jet pilot during the Vietnam War. He flew 100 missions, for which he received the Distinguished Flying Cross and seven Air Medals. He then worked as a United Airlines pilot until being furloughed by recession. During that time, he found his new calling on the ground.
