AS WE MOVE INTO NOVEMBER, one part of golf season that so many golfers enjoy, the fall golf season is fading away.
But here is hoping that it sticks around for a few more weeks. It seems that many of the area golf courses want to stay open until Thanksgiving week. So you still have a little time left to go play.
But once they close, courses will remain closed for the year. From what I hear it won’t be open-close-open-close. As the weather changes, and or an early snow melts away.
But if you are ready for a warmer practice area, The Mistwood Golf Dome located on Rt. 53 in Bolingbrook (630)-739-7600, is open and ready for the colder season ahead. So book your hitting bay online today, you can book a hitting time 7 days out.
COMING UP THIS WEEK is another chapter of Ziehm and Spears podcast series 2021-volume 32. Len and I hope you will check it out. It remains the area’s best weekly update of golf news from Chicago and beyond. One of the topics that Len and I will discuss is the Greg Norman-Saudi golf connection. Because it appears that Norman and his big dollar friends are creating their own version of the WGC Tournaments, within the Asian Tour. So stay tuned.
LEN ZIEHM will have a nice feature in this weeks Daily Herald, on Highwood’s Patrick Flavin who had a Top-20 finish this past weekend on the PGA Tour. Flavin just missed by a couple of dollars, in getting his first six-figure payout.
I GOT OUT LAST WEEK on Tuesday to play the Schaumburg Golf Club one of the top public courses in the area. The Todd Quitno renovation is really good. Which is why by the time the course shuts down for the year around Thanksgiving. It’s expected that some 65,000 rounds will be played there this year. THAT is a big number even in these pandemic times where golf has exploded.
CONGRAT TO THE FOLKS at Batavia based Tour Edge Golf. Last Wednesday was the biggest one day amount, in total sales. So maybe Bernhart Langer’s win on the PGA Tour Champions helped, or maybe it’s just that the product Tour Edge is putting out is really just that good. I’ll be checking out a few of their products in the next couple of weeks.
GOLF SEASON is not over just yet. So keep it here. RS
