The JDC is Silvis Illinois-July 6-9
YES IT DOES.
Because the John Deere Classic is back next week from July 6-9.
The only every year PGA Tour stop in Illinois.
But long-time JDC championship director Clair Peterson has retired after 20 years. So now Andrew Lehman takes over and has some big shoes to fill. So Golfers on Golf will bunch of questions for the “new guy”, on new deal with the PGA Tour and next weeks tournament and more.
The new look first hole at Elgin Country Club. The bunker renovation is complete with new Pro/Angle White Sand.
WHITE SAND-YES SIR.
Where does it come from-hint Ohio.
But how did the craze start, it is true the sand comes out of the side of a mountain.
So how many courses in Illinois are using White Sand, why is it better and is the demand growing.
Eric Ludewig of RW Sidley Inc. producers of Pro/Angle Sand and top dressings joins us live with the answers clubs around Illinois and the USA are asking.
CLICK HERE to hear a rebroadcast of Golfers on Golf Radio from July 1st.
BUT THERE IS MORE. Because LEN ZIEHM checks in late in the program with a full report of the Senior LPGA Championship at Sultan’s Run in Plymouth Indiana-near the French Lick Resort.
Conway Farms professional Jamie Fischer and Mistwood professional Nicole Jeray are both in the field. But have some work to do, to jump into the Top 10.
Golfers on Golf Radio 10 Am-WNDZ 750 Chicago. So thanks for listening from Ed, Bill, Len and Rory.
