YOU KNOW THE MOVIE…

Planes Trains and automobiles.

So my return to air travel after almost 2 years, was kind of like that.

Arrive at O’Hare at 6 AM, the place is packed like it’s a holiday rush.

Security lines and procedures aren’t great.

Then your flight is delayed 90 minutes, and your hike past tons of gates, send you back 10 gates where you just came from. But then it gets better, arrive in Baltimore at Hertz, and they have no cars for at least an hour. So then they try and give you one, not so good. But since you take a pass on it, you wait another hour for one to cleaned before you can go.

Drive around Baltimore and get to the Baltimore Country Club Five Farms, home of he famed A.W. Tillinghast East Course, that had an incredible 2014-2015 Keith Foster renovation.

But after golf, your hotel is under renovation, so you make it around the workers on a Sunday night to your room. Then the internet is not working, then finally it is.

BMW Championship media day is today at Caves Valley in Ownings Mill Maryland. The Course is great. But the heat, about 95 with humidity is a cooker. Play away, there is plenty of ice cold Gatorade to be had. More on Baltimore tomorrow. RS

Barrington’s Mara Janess holds the Icely Cup after winning the 94th Women’s Western Junior at Aurora Country Club.

(Reporting from Aurora)

Mara Janess still has a year to go at Barrington High School, but her college of choice should fire up it’s fight song.

Because Michigan’s ‘Hail to Victors’ was very appropriate, after Janess won the 94th Women’s Western Junior Championship at the Aurora Country Club.

Janess defeated Katie Scheck 5 & 4 in the title match. Scheck of Greensboro Georgia (Reynolds Lake Oconee), will attend Penn State this fall.

In the championship match that was played dodging the raindrops, Janess went 3 UP at the turn, was 4 UP after 10 holes, and 5 UP as she walked off the 11th green.

Mara Janess studies her approach shot on the 13th hole.

So three holes later she stood on the 14th green, getting a hug from Scheck as the reality of her win started to take hold.

But even though Janess won the Illinois High School State championship in 2019, she called winning the Women’s Western Junior, the biggest win of her career.

Because it was a win she almost didn’t get. In her Round of 16 match, Janess was 4 DN after six holes. But a key approach shot on the seventh hole, that cut the margin to 3DN, was a turning point that turned into a 2 UP win on the 18th green.

When asked how good Mara Janess Champion of the 94 Women’s Western Amateur sounded Janess said, “It feels amazing, and I’ve worked really hard lately. I’ve been at the top of a leaderboard at a few events. But it feels good to finally win.”

Katie Scheck hits her drive on the 13th hole.

Scheck came into the championship match after a solid performance in the semi-finals, defeating medalist Shannyn Vogler 7 & 5. Scheck quickly fell 1 DN after two holes. But she rebounded quickly winning 8 of the next 11 holes.

But Scheck could not get that kind of momentum going in the championship match against Janess.

CLICK HERE to hear the full interview with WWGA Junior champion Mara Janess.

WWGA President Cece Durbin (L)-Mara Janess (M)-WGA President Kevin Buggy (R).

Both Janess and Scheck will part of the field in next month’s Women’s Western Amateur at Park Ridge Country Club, July 19-24. But due to a conflict with her USGA Women’s Amateur qualifier. Janess will not be able to compete in next months Illinois Women’s Open, at Mistwood Golf Club.

The 2022 Women’s Western Junior Championship returns to south suburban Prestwick Country Club. Nancy Lopez who won the WWGA-Junior three times (1972-1973-1974), won her first title (1972) at Prestwick.

THREE TOURNAMENTS in one week. It’s golf season in Chicago.

The 101st CDGA Amateur at Bull Valley Golf Club.

THE 101st CDGA Amateur is complete, after rain and lightning delays held up the 36-hole final match.

But when it was over, Mt. Prospect resident Nick Tenuta who played high school golf at Prospect High School, and now for the University of Louisville, defeated medalist Brett Tomfohrde of Chicago/ Butterfield CC, 5&4.

But what the weather and lunch did, was give Tomfohrde a chance to find something in his game to try and get back in the 36 hole match. Because before he knew it, Tomfohrde was 5 down after 12 holes, and 6 down after 16 holes. A score that was still standing after the first holes.

But Tomfohrde found a putting adjustment he should make and started to fight back during the second round of 18 holes. But even with an adjustment to his putting stroke, that resulted in 6 birdies, he could not close the gap any closer than 5 Down.

Tenuta is looking forward to another CDGA event, the Illinois State Amateur July 20-22 at the Mistwood Golf Club. Before he returns for his senior season at Louisville. Further information on CDGA events at CDGA.org.

THE Women’s Western Golf Association WWGA.

AT THE AURORA COUNTRY CLUB, the battle for the Women’s Western Golf Association Junior Championship is down to four players.

Today it’s the semi-final matches starting at 7 Am.

Medalist Shannyn Vogler of Moline IL. will play Katie Scheck of Greensboro GA.. Vogler needed 20 holes to advance from her quarterfinal match.

The second semi-final match at 7:10 Am has Mara Janess of Barrington, who has committed to play college golf at Michigan. Janess plays Addison Klonowski, of Naples Florida.

The championship match will be played on Friday afternoon. But rain is expected, and hopefully will not delay play.

The Onwentsia Club of Lake Forest, home of the 103rd Western Junior Championship.

DAD KNOWS BETTER and he can caddie too.

Caleb Surratt of Matthews North Carolina, and committed to the University of Tennessee, shot 65-67 in the 36 hole final, to be the only player under par, and win the Western Junior Championship.

Surratt’s 3 under par total score gave him a four shot victory over William Sides of Tulsa Oklahoma, and Yuze Zhang of Windermere Florida.

But Surratt was in danger of missing the 36 hole cut, after 27 holes. So he called on his dad Brent to start caddying for him. Getting dad on his bag turned everything around, said Caleb.

Surratt, Sides and Zhang, earned exemptions into next months Western Amateur at the Glen View Club. More information at WGAESF.org.

THE MISTWOOD GOLF CLUB has announced today is the last day to register for the Phil Kosin Illinois Women’s Open being held July 6-7. See MistwoodGC.com for more information.

THE NEW CLUBHOUSE is taking shape at the Preserve at Oak Meadows in Addison. So stay tuned to DuPageGolf.com to learn more about opening day.

The Preserve is open for play, along with Maple Meadows and the 9-hole Green Meadows.   _____________________________________________________________________

THE GOG BLOG by RORY SPEARS, Director of Content and Creation for Golfers on Golf. At the bar in the new clubhouse at the Preserve at Oak Meadows.

IT’S ALMOST HERE.

SO STAY PATIENT just a little bit longer. Yes we know it’s over 10 years since the fire. But plenty has happened since, including the reopening of the multiple award winning, ‘The Preserve at Oak Meadows’ golf course, renovated by architect Greg Martin.

BUT PART II is almost ready. So if your golfer or even if your not, this new clubhouse will be the place to be.

Because it will be a great place for food and beverage, indoors and out. You will enjoy. Need golf supplies and apparel ? The new pro shop can take care of your needs. Meeting space, or an open area for your event, there is plenty of that in this new clubhouse.

THE Dining area around the bar (L). (R) Director of DuPage Golf Ed Stevenson is now getting ready to start serving customers inside the clubhouse.

The new locker room is ready (L). The new kitchen area is coming together quickly (R).

Brand new apparel display cases have been installed (L)-(R) The scoreboards are up.

THE BACK BAR is ready to serve you at the turn (L). The back patio for outdoor dining is almost finished.

The open room is taking shape (L). The new restrooms are complete behind the clubhouse are ready. Porta-Potty days are coming to an end at the Preserve.

So do remember there is no opening date that is currently set. But some point in July APPEARS to be a likely time table. Speaking of tables, those who enjoy a nice outdoor table for drinking and dining. Will really enjoy the new options that the clubhouse presents. Your choice of beverages will include a line of DuPage brewed, Ale’s Pilsners, IPA’s and more. The master chef is working on a new menu, that should included some ‘well named’ and Preserve at Oak Meadows themed dishes.

But there is more than just the clubhouse. Because when golfers arrive there will be a new bag stand to drop off your clubs. The Preserve’s friendly 1st tee starters, will help check you in from the new starters stand.

The DuPage Golf team is working hard to make the Preserve at Oak Meadows one of the best golf experiences in the Chicago area. So be ready to come out and play, and enjoy DuPage Golf.

THE PRESERVE at Oak Meadows in Addison is now getting ready to open it’s new clubhouse shortly. Currently the golf course is open for play, along with Maple Meadows and Green Meadows. So follow DuPageGolf.com for all the details on the opening day.   _____________________________________________________________________

JON RAHM… a man on a mission.

So I just had a feeling that after having to take the boot in the backside at the Memorial Tournament, that Jon Rahm would come back on the mission.

HE DID, and he won. Good for him. Rahm is the latest kind-of new name on the PGA Tour, that is great for the game of golf.

So he will be sticking around for a while.

What a great leaderboard the fans and NBC had on Sunday. Whether the ratings reach the level they did on Sunday at the PGA Championship, with Phil Mickelson marching to victory, remains to be seen. But I’m sure they were pretty good. Because there was some 3-4 hours of great golf, and great drama as it all unfolded.

POOR DAN HICKS who had to endure the best putt and fist pump on the 18th green at Torrey Pines South, anyone has ever seen. Because Hicks who must apparently get $500 dollars every time he mentions Tiger Woods name on the air, and would have made quick $10,000 if that’s a correct dollar figure. Hicks had to cringe the exciting finish that will send the 2008 U.S. Open highlights, to a dust-collecting storage room at NBC. NBC please spare us-it’s time to move-on from Dan Hicks.

IT”S TOURNEY TIME in town this week, and then there are three, all at once. So first on the tee is the 101st CGDA Amateur Championship at Bull Valley Golf Club in Northwest Suburban Woodstock/Bull Valley.

THE JUNIOR BOYS AND GIRLS of the WGA & WWGA junior events are rolling along. First the girls are at Aurora Country Club and the boys are at The Onwentsia Club in Lake Forest. If you can, head out and see some of the best junior players from around the world at both clubs. It’s just too bad all these great events are held the same week.

SUNDAY NIGHT’S storms fortunately didn’t do any major damage to any of the area golf courses. Even though there were plenty of bunkers I have seen in the last few days that had enough water in them. But Mistwood Golf Club in Romeoville had some tree damage, as 85 MPH winds raced across the golf course. So it could have been worse, but wasn’t thankfully. Speaking of Mistwood, it’s been 1 year to the day since the passing of owner Jim McWethy. I miss still miss Jim, and so do many other people.

ON THE PROFESSIONAL SIDE, there are some really good tournaments this week. The KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at the Atlanta Athletic Club, and the Senior Players Championship at Firestone Country Club, where Jerry Kelly tries to defend his title for the second time in 3 weeks. Kelly successfully defended his title at Steve Stricker’s American Family Insurance tournament at University Ridge near Madison Wisconsin two weeks ago.

THIS WEEK the famed Blackberry Amateur at Blackberry Oaks hits the tee at Blackberry Oaks in Bristol, always a great event run by Chad Johansen head golf professional and GM at “The Oaks”.

The Gog Blog returns tomorrow. RS

THE KITCHEN AND LOCKER ROOM are ready to go in the new clubhouse at The Preserve at Oak Meadows, are you. The new clubhouse will open soon. So stay tuned into DupageGolf.com for details about opening day. But the golf course is already open. ——————————————————————————————————————–
