Johnson goes from a truck driver to Pebble Beach.(The Orlando Sentinel)
The Buzz
ORLANDO _ The weather always was ideal for Mark Johnson's line of business, a guy who worked for years in sun-splashed Barstow, Calif., while refining his game.
Nah, he wasn't a golf pro. Johnson, 46, drove a Budweiser delivery truck in the middle of one of the thirstiest towns in the desolate Mojave Desert.
A decade ago, Johnson was playing Tiger Woods for the Southern California Amateur title.
In 1996, he won the California State Amateur title on the same Monterey Peninsula courses that stage the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
So why does a guy decide, after a long and successful amateur career_not to mention 20 years as a beer distributor_to move to the difficult, dark side of golf?
"It's all part of a five-year plan," said Johnson, who turned pro in 1998.
