Illinois Golf 2019 Hall of Fame Inductee Len Ziehm returns for another season on Golfers on Golf Radio.

Golfers on Golf had hoped to return on April 3rd, but would have to do so on our sister station WNDZ-AM 750.

So we decided to start in one place on April 17th, and stay there for the season, however long that might be in 2021.

Because over the course of the summer and beyond, there will be plenty to talk about. So stay with us at Golfers on Golf. There will be more about the return of one of America’s Top 3 rated golf radio shows in America. All this week on this site and social media pages.

The Arnold Palmer Cup at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove.

THIS JUST IN. As of NOW there will be no spectators allowed in to ‘The Arnold Palmer Cup’ on June 11-12-13. The matches will be held at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove.

Two weeks ago 10,300 fans were allowed into Wrigley Field for the season opener in April. But it appears that Kane County is scared to let anyone into a sporting event come mid-June.

What’s up with this ? This situation needs to be revisited before long. Because it would be nice to get a few thousand fans into The Arnold Palmer Cup all three days in June. The Korn Ferry Tour and the Western Golf Association (WGA) is allowing spectators into the Glen Club. As the Evans Scholars Invitational (ESI) returns to Glenview at the end of May.
