IT WILL BE QUITE A WEEK AHEAD.

Because there will be some good weather for this time of year. But there are other golf projects to review.

Because I’m going to learn more about a company called Miha, it’s body-tech at it’s finest I’m told. So click on tomorrow to learn more.

ARCHITECT GREG MARTIN has an incredible renovation project going on in Batavia. So while I was at Settlers Hill in Batavia, in late September with podcast partner Len Ziehm, I have been shown that there has plenty of grow-in since then. I’ll see the progress at Settlers Hill with Martin tomorrow.

THE WEATHER this week isn’t bad the next few days. So get out and play while you can.

OUR SPONSOR MISTWOOD GOLF has both of it’s facilities currently open, at least this week anyway. So enjoy them both-the golf course and the golf dome while they are open. Mistwood Golf inside and out. I hope this will last another week or three.

ZIEHM & SPEARS PODCAST SERIES returns again this week. Among some of the topics that Len and I will discuss are holiday golf gifts. But then Len and I will talk about our favorite travel destinations. So stay clicked in for those. Another Ziehm and Spears special, is to tee it up at our local par 3 course, Nickol Knoll Golf Club. The Arlington Hts. Park District par 3 golf course, also known as Payton’s Hill, from the days the late Bears great Walter Payton would train on the hill. The pin-flags are in. Which means golf season is winding down, a disappointing time for Len and I.

IT’S Good to see that Southern Pines Country Club has finished it’s Kyle Franz renovation. I plan on digging through some of the video’s with Franz and owner Kelly Miller on the course renovation, and get the audio and some pictures posted. So stay clicked in for that.

IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO GO FOR THANKSGIVING, your options include. Cog Hill Golf and Country Club in Palos Park, McWethys Tavern at Mistwood Golf Club. But another option is Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa in Galena Illinois. All of the above are winners so I hear.

With that, back with more tomorrow. RS
