CROMWELL, Conn. -- Jerry Kelly is not a hockey player who is playing golf today.He wants us to understand this. Finally.Hes a golfer. Always has been. All the way back to when he played in college more than a quarter century ago.So everyone can just stop with the Happy Gilmore references.Heres the story, as told by Kelly after a second-round even-par 70 at the Travelers Championship, which kept him near the top of the leaderboard not far from where he once played in school.I came here to play golf; I cant tell everybody that enough, said Kelly, who attended the University of Hartford nearby. I did not get any kind of hockey scholarship; I did not come here to play hockey. I came here to play golf, but I was hoping to play hockey, as well, if they took it to Division I.It never happened.The school decided that taking its club program to the next level was too costly and instead dropped it altogether.That hasnt stopped long-standing perpetuation of the myth that Kelly was a real-life Happy, trading in his skates for spikes and using a slap shot swing to vault his way onto the PGA Tour.The truth is, Kelly was an all-city hockey player during his high school years in Madison, Wisconsin, and had a few scholarship offers, but he was a better golfer, and thats where hed focused his energies going into college.Smart idea.He is 49 years old now, playing his 21st full season as a PGA Tour member before he turns 50 and gains senior status in three months.Hes also showing he can still hang with the flatbellies out here, many of whom are half his age. After a roller-coaster round Friday that included five birdies and five bogeys, Kelly slowly walked up the hill from the 18th green to the scoring area, then spent a few minutes stretching his weary legs while grumbling about the ravages of old age, at least in golfer years.Many of those youngsters would happily trade places with Kelly entering this weekend, as he seeks his fourth career PGA Tour victory. And dont underestimate the impact of how turning the big five-oh soon has rejuvenated him.The closer he gets to the Champions Tour, hes embracing that, explained his longtime caddie, Eric Meller. I almost think the energy is permeating into this tour. Hes getting excited for it. Obviously, hes still got plenty of game at this level.But I think he feels its more sporadic. There are certain tournaments were more excited for -- this one, next week [at the John Deere Classic] and Greensboro [for the Wyndham Championship]. All three we know we can win.It might even be a good sign that, after an opening-round 64, Kelly wasnt pleased with his second-round performance but still finds himself in contention.I hit the ball very bad, he said matter-of-factly. I didnt hit it very well at all.Thats him. Everything he says is said matter-of-factly, extending to the mutterings and groans to himself after bogeys on three of his last four holes to close out the round.So it shouldnt be surprising that, when asked what he needs to do to win this weekend, he was similarly blunt.I have to shoot lower than everybody else, he deadpanned. I mean, literally, there is no strategy. Expecting rain [Saturday]. You dont know what youre going to get. Expecting wind and cooler weather on Sunday. Dont know what youre going to get. You game plan for something today, not going to show up tomorrow. Youve just got to beat everybody. Thats all there is to it.Maybe its part of Kellys hockey background that allows him to answer such questions with in-your-face responses.Just dont call him a hockey player. After all these years, he wants everyone to realize hes a golfer -- and hes been a golfer this entire time.Its unbelievable, he said of the myth about his college plans. Ive told the correct story from day one, and the media just keeps on jumping on the other one.Not anymore.Kelly is a golfer who is playing golf today. Todd Helton Jersey Large . Louis.
