He's become one the state's biggest names in andamp;lt;a href=andamp;quot;http://www.kxnet.com/t/golfandamp;quot; class=andamp;quot;kxInlineLinkandamp;quot;andamp;gt;Golfandamp;lt;/aandamp;gt;, and he's just learning to read and write, and while andamp;lt;a href=andamp;quot;http://www.kxnet.com/t/glen-ullin-ndandamp;quot; class=andamp;quot;kxInlineLinkandamp;quot;andamp;gt;Glen Ullinandamp;lt;/aandamp;gt;'s Gehrig Geiss has had many eyeballs from across the area on him, later this year, the eyeballs on him will be from across the world. andamp;quot;Its a good thing the Fore Seasons Center in andamp;lt;a href=andamp;quot;http://www.kxnet.com/t/bismarck-ndandamp;quot; class=andamp;quot;kxInlineLinkandamp;quot;andamp;gt;Bismarckandamp;lt;/aandamp;gt; is indoors, because few golf courses can contain Gehrig Geiss. (Gehrig Geiss:) Driver, putter, hybrid, nine iron, seven iron!' You might remember the 5-year old phenom from our 'On The Green' segment last Spring...when he showed everyone, and even a golf expert, how the game should be played... (Chris Geiss:) He has just been gifted and you don't want to sound arrogant and stuff, but he has really got something that, we don't know how he got it or where it came from, but we just enjoy watching him. and while he doesn't stand as tall as most of our bags, he'll soon be taking his bag to a place most of us can't. (Gerhig Geiss:) The World Championships That's at the world famous Torrey Pines Course in San Diego. (Chris Geiss:) There is not many times that someone is the first to do something, but we found out that he is the first kid ever from andamp;lt;a href=andamp;quot;http://www.kxnet.com/t/north-dakotaandamp;quot; class=andamp;quot;kxInlineLinkandamp;quot;andamp;gt;North Dakotaandamp;lt;/aandamp;gt; to go and we looked into it a little more and it is something that when we looked into the list, of the past champions, it is all Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Lorena Ochoa and stuff like that, so just for him to say that he gets to play in something like that is really neat and it has a lot of people excited and talking about it and stuff. Chris Geiss says his son's been getting attention from everywhere...from onlookers to even equipment makers. (Chris Geiss:) I kind of kid that has a couple of stalkers because every day, my e-mail is filled with something from a couple of the club companies, which will remain nameless. Chris also says Gehrig isn't being forced to play, he wants to play...and as long as its fun,then Gehrig will be firing shots off of the tee... In the meantime, Gehrig can't wait for his trip to San Diego... (Gehrig Geiss:) Go to the zoo!andamp;quot; Gehrig has an official website. You can check it out at www.gehriggeiss.com. The World Junior Championships start July 14th.  « Less
