Royal New Kent Golf Club - New Kent, VA
...golfers who are not travelling overseas for this week’s
British Open can enjoy a round sprinkled with Irish seasoning.
NEW KENT, VIRGINIA (July 2019) — This week’s Open Championship — or as Yanks like to say, the British Open — returns to Northern Ireland, specifically Royal Portrush Golf Club, for the first time in 68 years.
Golf’s oldest competition, the 148th Open Championship will also stand as 2019’s final major. Rest assured, whoever hoists the Claret Jug on Sunday will have earned the honor. This week’s stage, Dunluce Links, the more well known of Royal Portrush’s two courses, is considered one of the world’s most challenging layouts.
The Open was first held at Portrush in 1951 where a crowd of 8,000 watched Max Faulkner claim the title. This year, ticket sales of 190,000 have sold out for the first time in the history of the event. A global television audience of 600 million is expected. (READ MORE...)

WHY TIGER'S COMMITMENT TO
PLAYING THE ZOZO MATTERS
.jpg?width=125&height=180)
Tiger Woods is heading to Japan. The freshly minted Masters champion will headline the ZOZO Championship, which is to be Japan’s first ever PGA Tour event. The tournament, which boasts a $9.75 million purse, is set to replace Malaysia's CIMB Classic on the tour, and will be held from October 24-27 at Narashino Country Club. Woods committed to playing just a few weeks after his comeback-for-the-ages victory at Augusta, and in doing so brought the kind of star power no other golfer could.
The Narashino Country Club course is located in the Chiba Prefecture just outside of Tokyo. It spans 7,598 meters and features a quartet of par-5s and a trio of par-3s. In these respects, the course isn't actually unlike Augusta, which spans 7,475 yards and has four each of par-5s and par-3s. The key difference is that Narashino, despite being slightly longer, is more straightforward, and devoid of the infamously tricky approaches one finds at Augusta (like "Amen Corner" or Rae's Creek). It's a fairly unassuming course, which should make for some impressive scoring come October, from Woods and others alike. (READ THE FULL STORY...)

Pheonix Golf Review...Via The Media Classic Tour
There may be a few golfers out there who are of the opinion desert golf is basically the same from course to course with some slight change in the number of saguaro with golf ball holes in them. To them I say, au contraire mon ami.
Just hop on a plane and head to the Valley of the Sun (Phoenix if you prefer) and you will see what I speak of.
This hot spot (pun intended) of golf has as much variety in the game as it does communities which populate the Sonoran Desert. (READ THE FULL REVIEW...)

THE DEMISE OF PUTTING ON TOUR...
While perusing the improvements in golf equipment over the years, I came across data analysis that caused several rereads! Using Shotlink data, I looked at putting stats on Tour from 2003 to now. Using putts made at specific distances, the make percentage is LOWER today than 2003! Given the advances over the last 15 years, better, more consistent greens, millions of dollars invested in putter head designs, contour books showing every break every grain pattern and not the least, the arrival of sophisticated putting instruction, my first reaction was "this can't be right."
