Rory Spears at Heritage Oaks GC-coming again soon in 2025.

IT’S OPEN SEASON…

SO IF YOUR NOT OPEN-GET ROLLING.

Because at least the range should be open this week, especially if you have mats.

So the list of courses that will be open this week, is growing quickly. Because the list has grown to include Maple Meadows Golf Club of the DuPage Golf Network in Wood Dale. See DuPagegolf.com for details on all three DPG golf courses.

THEY ARE OPEN…Chad Johansen’s Blackberry Oaks in Bristol. All three Jemsek Golf facilities, Cog Hill, St. Andrews and Pine Meadow. Bittersweet in Gurnee. The East Course at White Pines GC in Bensenville. Willow Hill in Northbrook. Naperbrook GC opens Wednesday, Springbrook on Friday in Naperville.

THE SHACK GOLF CLUB 1717 Chestnut Ave. in Glenview has seven simulators and a putting green. Where you can check out the Bettinardi putters, while enjoying the pizza flatbreads. #Lessons #Clubfittings TheShackGolfClub.com or call (847)-904-2905. Arnie is back at the bar.

SO ARE THESE COURSES-Arboretum in Buffalo Grove. Tamarack in Naperville. Deerfield Golf Club has the range open (mats only). White Tail Ridge GC-Yorkville. Blackstone Golf Club in Marengo. Glenwoodie GC in Glenwood. Lincoln Oaks in Crete. Klein Creek in Winfield. Carriage Greens in Darien.

THE PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP is this week as week 3 of 4 tee’s off on the Florida Swing. Scottie Scheffler goes for the three peat. But can he do it. I think so, because his game started to round into form at the API.

But Rory, Ludvig and a couple of others will be lurking. One player has a WD, Tiger Woods is out. It was the last year of his exemption into the field. Maybe have we seen him for the last time at The Players. So sit back and enjoy the tournament this week, and listen to Dan Hicks cry about TW’s no-show.

IT’s NOT TOO LATE-to put your shoes on and head to the Mistwood Golf Dome for some Toptracer Golf, or award winning chicken wings in McWethy’s Sportsbar. So book a hitting bay at Mistwoodgolfdome.com Rt. 53 in Bolingbrook. (630)-739-7600.

IT WAS ANOTHER BIG WEEK on all the tours for LAB Golf Putters, check out all the top finishes for players using LAB Putters at Labgolf.com. I do like my DF3 and it’s good.

CALLAWAY GOLF HAS STEPPED UP and is the first major equipment company to sign a deal with a LIV Golf team. Callaway that has had Jon Rahm on staff for a few years, now has a deal with Rahm’s Legion XIII Team. So now I wonder which company will be next to follow suit. Great move by Callaway Golf and CEO Chip Brewer.

SPEAKING OF CALLAWAY GOLF, there will be a fitting day for Callaway on Saturday March 22nd, from 9 Am until 2 Pm. So get signed up at CogHillgollf.com

PGA TOUR players has begun testing the new rolled-back golf ball. The results are not sitting well so far. Adam Schupak of Golfweek broke the story, and spoke with 2023 British Open Champion Brian Harmon who said, “bad idea-I can’t get on board with this.” Schupak spoke with other players too, dial up golfweek.com for more feedback on the testing of the proposed golf ball.

GOLF WRIGLEY FIELD-golf in the ball park is back at Wrigley Field through Upper Deck on April 11th and 12th. But Cubs season ticket holders get first crack of the club access to tee times. So register March 25th at Upperdeckgolfing.com/WrigleyField. It is fun to hit golf balls in Wrigley Field, I have done it from the right field bleachers to a pin in the left field corner, and almost holed out. Go try it, if you can get a tee time.

I WAS SURPISED by the new GOLF VX golf facility on the North Side of Arlington Hts., in the plaza on the South East side of Palatine and Rand Roads (Rt. 12). So the simulator facility is really well done with 12 bays. One is a private area, for a single player or a group. The full sized bar with robotic like drink shakers is something new. There is also a full kitchen and menu. So golfersongolf.com will have more coming up on the new Golf VX, that has now been open almost one month. It also gets crowded very quickly.

THE GOG BLOG returns this week. RS

  THE TRANSITION IS COMING as outdoor golf season is not far away. So enjoy this weekend in the Mistwood Golf Dome, and enjoy some Toptracer golf. But another option is the award winning chicken wings in McWethy’s Sports Bar in the dome. So book your hitting bay at Mistwoodgolfdome.com or call the dome at (630)-739-7600.

John Moran, left, speaks alongside Rand Jerris after they both received the Herbert Warren Wind Award during the 2025 Annual Meeting Dinner at The Carolina Hotel in the Village of Pinehurst, NC on Saturday, March 1, 2025. (Copyright USGA/Jason E. Miczek)

THE WINNER IS “The Prairie Raynor” by Chicago Golf Club historian John Moran, and Rand Jerris who spent over three decades at the USGA, overseeing the USGA Golf Museum and Library. Jerris now has his own consulting firm, Purple Valley Strategies.

Both Moran and Jerris were honored this past weekend at the annual United States Golf Association (USGA) meetings in Pinehurst North Carolina. Where both authors were honored by receiving the Herbert Warren Wind Award for their work in golf literature.

THE BOOK (published in 2024) is the vision released through the authors that incorporates historical photo’s and original sketches.

The cover of The Prairie Raynor book, by John Moran and Rand Jerris.

Readers can enjoy the story of Seth Raynor’s transformation of the Chicago Golf Club, into a historical design that has withstood the test of time.

Chicago Golf Club located today in Wheaton Illinois, went from being one of the five original founding USGA clubs. To being a venue that has hosted eight USGA national championships (with two more championships scheduled, the 2033 U.S. Women’s Open and the 2036 Walker Cup).

“The book reminds us of what it takes to stand the test of time,” said USGA CEO Mike Whan. “Chicago Golf Club is not just an iconic championship venue, but a beloved course that the greats in course architecture and agronomy have given to America. The incredible care that John and Rand put forth in creating this book reminds us why the story is important and why it’s deserving of recognition.”

So the Prairie Raynor takes the reader through how Chicago Golf Club founder, Charles Blair Macdonald suggested the club hire Raynor to develop a new design, because of what had become an aging design and routing.

Because of the development of the rubber-core golf ball. The sport of golf and how it was played had changed in a just a few years.

But when Raynor arrived in Wheaton, his lack of knowledge in American prairie land became quickly apparent. So as a result, Raynor spent two full days sitting in the clubs clocktower. Where he would admire the expansive prairie land of the clubs current location.

The time turned out to be well spent, because his inspiration still stands over 100 years later. So does the clubs clocktower, now a monument to Raynor’s evolution in course design.

So as the book project started, Moran sought after Jerris to assist in an editorial role. But that quickly changed, and before long the two men were working as co-authors. Jerris brought the book an explanation on how Raynor’s work, is still of great influence in today’s designs.

MORAN HAS BEEN part of the Chicago Golf Club for five decades. But began his time at the club as a caddie in 1977.

But in 1986 he became a member of the club, and currently serves on the clubs board of directors.

“Chicago Golf Club has been an important home for my family and myself. The opportunity to tell the story of the course with Rand Jerris has been a pleasure and a privilege,” said Moran. “My hope is that the book helps our club and others like it. So they can recognize and perpetuate the strong level of stewardship that has gone into the creation and decades of subsequent care. Which has made our golden-age course beautiful and still relevant.”

CLICK HERE to hear the interview with Chicago Golf Club member/club historian John Moran. As Moran takes you through the creation of book and history of the Chicago Golf Club.

“John and I challenged each other to find innovative ways to describe a golf course,” said Jerris. ‘Seth Raynor’s creative genius and the club’s exemplary stewardship of his masterpiece provided ample inspiration to do so. It is our hope that the book will spark meaningful conversations between golfers, golf architects, golf course superintendents, green committee chairs and historians about the meaning, value and stewardship of great golf architecture.”

CLICK HERE to hear the interview with Dr. Rand Jerris. Jerris reviews Chicago Golf Club history and the creation of The Prairie Raynor.

The book is available for purchase at Grant Books Ltd’s website or USGA Publications.

  SHOW PATRON FAVORITE the long putt was very busy once more. Instructor Hank Haney was a big draw on the main stage-Saturday afternoon. Golf Season is here.

NOW IT FEELS LIKE GOLF SEASON.

Because for me the golf show season is now over. So now all that is left is for the temperatures to warm up, and golf courses to open.

But let’s hope that no more snow arrives, and things can start to green up over the next 27 days.

So are you ready for golf season? Have you taken a lesson, have your purchased new clubs. Maybe you at least some new golf balls to start the 2025 golf season with. If not many clubs are now doing the buy three dozen, get a fourth dozen balls for free. So check with your local club for golf ball specials.

SO WRAPPING UP THE CHICAGO SHOW-News, notes and more.

Instructor Hank Haney was a hit on the main stage on Saturday afternoon.

GOLF INSTRUCTOR HANK HANEY was the star of the main stage.

Haney a long time swing coach to star players on the PGA Tour, answered questions from the audience, after sharing several of his thoughts and approaches to the game of golf.

Recently Haney (69) relocated back to the Chicago Northern Suburbs, to help his son get more involved in youth hockey.

During an interview with Golfers on Golf, Haney spoke about his plan to build several teaching studio’s around the Chicago area. The first one is nearing completion in the North Shore. Haney is still scouting locations around Chicago to build another four or five locations.

MY GOLF SPY has put out some early in 2025 awards, and given the new Callaway Elyte XXX driver the best new driver award.

But MGS also awarded the new Tour Edge 525 series driver as the best new-accurate driver. Kudo’s to everyone at Batavia based Tour Edge Golf.

Word is that Tour Edge Golf could have an additional product announcement coming out later this month. So stay tuned for more.

I do have a few samples of the new Zero Friction TruRoll golf balls that I’m looking to try out when the courses open. They do look like a good ball, hopefully they are just that.

FINALLY WRAPPING UP FROM THE CHICAGO GOLF SHOW. Great show this year, very well attended. So maybe the warm weather on Friday or cold weather on the weekend played a role. It really showed that a top rated instructor attracts people to the main stage, if Haney isn’t available for an encore-maybe David Ledbetter or Jim McLean in 2026.

Sqairz Shoes CEO Bob Winskowicz at the PGA Show with the new line of Sqairz Golf Shoes for 2025.

NOT SO SQUARE!

Sqairz golf shoes an industry leader in golf footwear, is back with some new additions and upgrades for 2025.

Sqairz CEO Bob Winskowicz says the “consumer was telling us to quiet down the shoe a little bit, so that’s exactly what we did.”

So what that means, is that the Sqairz brand name is no longer in big letters down the side of shoe. But what hasn’t been lost, is the Sqairz push for even better traction and mobility. Especially when it comes to keeping the speedy swingers in mind.

Sqairz Golf Shoes 2025 coming soon.

So while some of the names of the golf shoes line have not changed, the look has.

Winskowicz speaking at the 2025 PGA Merchandise Show, said the new 2025 lines should be out by late February or early March. So about any day now.

While golf shoes continue to be a big seller for Sqairz, for those of you who play other sports, Sqairz is an option for you. So are you a Pickleball player, Sqairz Pickleball shoes, along with baseball and softball shoes are now an option. Sqairz results on the PGA Tour is now up to three wins, along with even more top 10 finishes.

Sqairz shoes for 2025, with no writing on the walls.

Winskowicz says the company still offers golf clubs the option of having limited inventory in the shop.

But with enough product so that PGA professionals can be supported by their membership, with purchases at the club.

So when you do buy a pair of shoes that’s not at the club you still will receive them quickly. Because if you order a pair of shoes before 2 Pm EST, they do go out on the truck that day. So then it’s just in the hands of the delivery service, but you should receive your new shoes within 48-72 hours. Depending on where you live.

CLICK HERE to hear Sqairz CEO Bob Winskowicz talks about Sqairz shoes for 2025, and the companies return and exchange policies. Why Sqairz-Why Not.
