CASY BROZEK stands on the first tee, of Medinah’s Championship #3 golf course-that will reopen this summer.

THE FIRST 100 days for new Medinah Country Club Director of Golf Casey Brozek, have been a whirlwind.

But it’s not like Brozek didn’t expect that when he took the job last November.

Brozek compared what has come at him so far, like getting a drink of water from a firehose.

Recently Brozek sat down with for a job interview with a perspective new member of his team. But 3 minutes later Brozek was summoned to a clubhouse meeting. When the interview resumed it lasted seconds before Brozek had to attend a 2026 Presidents Cup meeting. The next day his interview for this story  went from 90 minutes-to 60 and then 30 minutes, as another President’s Cup meeting was on the table for discussion once more.

BUT EXCITING it is for the former President of the Illinois PGA Section. Because since he started on property some 16 days ago, Chicago’s weather has warmed up. Which has brought anxious golfers running back to their favorite golf courses. Medinah has been no different, as some members have come out with pull carts. But still enjoying the walk around Course #2, even with temporary greens currently in place. Brozek is proudly taking credit for bringing some of Florida’s warm weather with him as he returned to Illinois earlier this month.

But Brozek declined having his picture taken in his office.

Because everything hanging on the walls won’t be there much longer. Brozek explains that the moving van carrying everything from his former Florida home is still in route.

With his golf memorabilia still on the truck, he will redo his office when all his really meaningful golf goodies arrive in Illinois.

Course #3 is rounding into shape, and gets a nice watering early in the year, on a warm February day.

But for Brozek and Medinah’s members and staff, there will be some real memorable moments coming over the next three years.

Brozek does hint that the reopening of Course #3 could now be in July. But there are anxious members still hoping for late June.

Medinah’s centennial will be celebrated in 2025. But then the eyes of the world arrive in 2026 for the playing of the President’s Cup matches.

Brozek explains their will be some new logo’s coming to Medinah, with the reopening of Course #3, the clubs centennial and the Presidents Cup. Which Brozek calls a great opportunity for some rebranding of the club.
