AS A LONG TIME GOLF MEDIA guy, it really pains me to see all the worthless golf content online by major publications.

Because this might be, it could be, it’s not Phil or Tiger’s schedule.

But hey everyone, Tiger signed-up for this tournament. So did Phil, so what’s Tiger’s next move, what’s Phil’s.

So did you know that Tiger played a practice round here, or there, and he told some unknown person, he might do this or might not.

Will Phil go to the Saudi backed LIV tour. So does Phil need Saudi money, after rumors persist that Phil lost $40 million dollars in 4 years from gambling. Whether “Lefty” lost a big amount in the sports books or not, is not a big deal. Nor is Tiger hitting balls somewhere, and looking great says someone on Twitter who claims to seen him firsthand.

FOLKS WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE of major season. So many great stories to be told, and when somebody wins the PGA or U.S. Open and the fans go, “Who”. It’s because writers who should be telling us about these players, are too busy telling us that somebody is mad at Phil, or Tiger might have or might not have signed up for a tournament next month. Spare us the scheduling details, and range reports. So lets get back to talking golf, and the up and coming players who might win a major in the next 80 days.

SO NOT TO BE LEFT BEHIND, make sure you take note that Rory Spears will be golfing this week at Eagle Ridge in Galena. But then next week Rory will be spotted on the range at the Glen Club in Glenview. Rory has signed up to play at Harbor Shores in Benton Harbor Michigan, next week ahead of the Senior PGA Championship. I know you care-right ?

ON THE RIDGE: after two years I’m going back to Eagle Ridge. Word is that plenty has been going on, not just at the General Golf Course or the clubhouse. So I’ll find out all the details this week, on what’s happening under the new owner Mark Klausner.

ILL-INI how about the Fighting Illini men’s golf team. Winning by 1 shot. But it was enough to overtake and hold off the Spartans of Michigan State. The University of Maryland was two shots back of Illinois. So it’s seven straight titles for Illinois and 13 wins in 14 years.

WITH THAT-time to head a little bit west of Rockford. RS
