Berry unleashes 58 on course his father built in Tahlequah
"Blake Berry knows every inch of Cherokee Springs Golf Course in Tahlequah. His father Burel Berry designed and built the course then known as Cherry Springs in 1989, he played there growing up and for Tahlequah High School and still plays it frequently.
Familiarity only takes one so far. It also takes a huge amount of talent and skill to do what the 25-year-old Berry did Tuesday, which is shoot a 14-under 58 from the back tees on the par-72, 6780-yard course which carries a slope rating of 136.
Almost needless to say, it was a career low round and course record. Berry, who played collegiately at Oklahoma City University before transferring to the University of Central Oklahoma. has turned professional and played in a recent event on the All Pro Tour, making the cut at the event at The Territory in Duncan this spring.
One of the three witnesses to the round was Nick Baker, Berry’s high school coach at Tahlequah."
