BACK ON THE GROVE!

It’s been great to be teeing it up again on the home turf at the Grove CC in Long Grove.

Today my game briefly reappeared at the 5th hole, and then got better as the front nine continued. But to play six holes in just two over par these days, yes I will gladly take it.

When you go through two months of almost no golf, and miss a few of your favorite golf outings of the year. It is brutal. I am hoping 2024 goes much better.

Show Time at Twin Orchard CC, the best deals of the year. The early tee times will find plenty of great bargains.

HAVE YOU HEARD ALL THAT TIGER TALK OF LATE!

Yes I though you did. Because it’s the silly season time of year.

So are you getting all the emails, that Tiger taught his son a move. Caddied for his son, is saving a spot for himself in his 20 player outing coming up soon. Silly season is here.

But how much have your heard about his plans for a night spot near St. Andrews in Scotland. Well the locals don’t like it, and the plan seems to be going up in smoke. Tigers TGR league has issues, and one of them is Jon Rahm dropping out. Of course there is the golf professional that was critical of the TW design used on the PGA Tour last week.

Heritage Oaks at sunrise. The club is open through this Sunday, and then indoors all winter. There are 2 simulators in the clubhouse with the bar in the Acorn Grill close by. A third bay will be set up for club fitting and lessons in the pro shop. Taco Tuesdays and Wings on Wednesdays will continue.

WILL LIV GOLF RETURN IN 2024.

The LIV Golf 2024 schedule will be out shortly, the LIV Golf team tells Golfers on Golf.

So far LIV has announced the return of it’s stop in Australia, that drew huge galleries. Great news for those in the down under.

But what is not so clear, is whether LIV Golf returns to Jerry Rich’s Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove.

RHF has invited LIV to return in 2024, but it appears that LIV Golf might wish to take it’s product to a few new markets in 2024. So this could leave Chicago off the schedule for next year. Let’s hope not. New stops in 2024 include both Houston and Nashville.

LAST FRIDAY was the Illinois Golf Hall of Fame Induction dinner for the Class of 2023. Golfers on Golf is waiting for the full wrap-up to share the details of a special night for golf in Illinois, and the inductee’s that were enshrined.

THE MISTWOOD GOLF DOME IS OPEN-which means your favorite wing bar is as well. So when it gets cold out-go check out Toptracer in the dome. The Black Friday sale in the dome is coming up. Mistwoodgc.com Mistwoodgolfdome.com.

THE HERITAGE OAKS TURKEY TROT was a great success last weekend. 128 golfers played in slightly warmer temperatures than last year, when the temperatures never hit 40 degrees. Plus the sun never came out. If your having a similar event this weekend, good luck on the weather. But golfers rain or shine do seem to enjoy them.

SPEAKING OF WEATHER, it’s pretty good this week. So get out and play before it changes and local courses start closing. The Gog Blog is back this week. RS
