GOLF and FOOD during holiday week. Stop in to McWethys Sports Bar in the Mistwood Golf Dome on Rt. 53 in Bolingbrook (630)-739-7600
I HOPE you had a great Christmas.
It’s always great when you have your family trained to buy you top notch golf balls for Christmas.
Because now I’m all set for the Florida trip, in spite of how many water hazards their are in the Sunshine State.
It’s the final week of 2021, and my podcast partner Len Ziehm will be along mid-week to record the final edition of the Ziehm and Spears podcast series for 2021.
Mistwood Golf Dome on Rt. 53 in Bolingbrook is open daily until 10 PM. Hours could change on New Years Eve and New Years Day. See Mistwoodgolfdome.com. for changes.
BUT IF YOUR OFF this week, why not play some outdoor golf if you can still find and open course.
But if you can’t the Mistwood Golf Dome is the perfect place to hit balls. If you need lessons or a club fitting the dome is the place to go.
Did you get a gift card or money towards new clubs. Start your fitting process to get it right at the Mistwood Golf Dome.
OPTION 2 the Schaumburg Golf Club has three simulators, and you can play several Top 100 courses from around the country. But maybe the best news yet, is if have enjoyed the Schaumburg Golf Club since the renovation, you can play it on the simulator.
There are other clubs that have recently added indoor simulators, so playing some golf this week is not out of the question.
What’s happening at World Woods Golf Club
WORLD WOODS Golf Club in Brooksville Florida (about 1 hour north of Tampa) has always had 36 good holes.
Two courses Pine Barrens and Rolling Oaks, comprise the clubs 36 holes. There is a big circular driving range, and massive putting green.
For years the two Tom Fazio designed courses have been favorites to plenty of golfers. Pine Barrens years ago, was nick-named the public version of Pine Valley. For years in the winter months getting a tee time there was really hard to do.
But the sad thing was that in the recent years, word on World Woods golf is that the courses had gotten run down, and are in need of some up-keep.
Well help might be on it’s way. IF YOU HAVE HEARD of Cabot Golf Links in Canada you may have heard of owner Ben Cowen-Dewar. But his partner at Cabot Links and Cabot Cliffs is one Chicago based Mike Keiser (Bandon Dunes-Sand Valley). Yep, and the word is that earlier this month, Canadian company Cabot Company LLC has bought World Woods and two other near by clubs in Homosassa Springs Florida.
STAY TUNED, plenty of acres at World Woods. Because two fix-ups and maybe more golf holes could be on their way.
IN THE MEANTIME work in some golf if your off this week. It’s a great way to end the year, and get ready for next year. Your winter trip south or west, is right around the corner. The Eskimo Open at Cog Hill is this Sunday Jan. 2nd, be ready.
THE D-LUX Budget Inn down the street from Cog Hill is for sale. Rumored price is $1.5 million. This would be a nice addition for over night lodging by Cog Hill. I can see it now, the Cog Hill Inn or the Dubs-Inn.
The Gog Blog returns tomorrow. RS
