WHAT NO SHARK!

Two-time Open Champion Greg Norman was not invited to the 150th Open Championship to take part in the past champions ceremony.

Because of his involvement with the LIV Series of Golf, it was deemed that Norman would be a distraction.

AS A RESULT the R & A is taking some serious heat, for being petty. Well deserved heat I might add. If your going to do things like this, maybe your status should be reduced from “Major” to “Minor”. Regardless, I’m looking forward to watching the 150th from St. Andrews.

Because you can’t beat getting up at like 4 AM to watch a major golf championship. But if the weather is poor, anything can happen and likely will. Plenty of laughs and head shaking to follow.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS native Doug Ghim was “In the hunt” at the Scottish Open, T-2 after 36 holes. But a third round 74 ended his chances of victory. Ghim ended up T-16 and cashed a check for $104,900.

THE MEDIA get to preview the USGA-Mid Amateur at Erin Hills and the Western Amateur at Exmoor Country Club in Highland Park this week. So more information on those events will be coming along shortly here at Golfers on Golf.

HERITAGE OAKS GOLF CLUB in Northbrook will host a double-USGA qualifier on Wednesday. In the morning the men will play the Classic 18 course trying to make the field in the USGA Men’s Senior Amateur. But the afternoon session is the qualifier for the Women looking to qualify for the U.S. Senior Women’s Open in August at NCR Country Club in Dayton Ohio.

Former Chicago Blackhawks player, broadcaster and GM Dale Tallon who regained his amateur status about 10 years ago, will attempt to qualify for the Senior Amateur. But in the afternoon, Conway Farms teaching professional Jamie Fischer will try to make the field at NCR. Fischer grew up in the neighborhood of NCR and her mother still lives in the family home nearby. Mistwood Golf Club’s teaching professional Nicole Jeray is already exempt into the U.S. Senior Women’s Open.

TOURNAMENT TIME IS ARRIVING IN ILLINOIS-The Illinois State Amateur, the Women’s Western Golf Association Amateur, the Illinois Women’s Open and the Western Amateur Championship will take place before the end of the month. But a reminder the DuPage Amateur on July 23-24 still has places remaining in the field. But deadline to enter is coming up this Friday July 16th. DuPagegolf.com for more information.

I PREVIOUSLY REPORTED that the new spa at Eagle Ridge Resort and Spa in Galena would open on July 13th. Because of supply chain issues, opening day will now be in Mid-September (14th). So stay tuned for more details.

Architect Andy Green talks about putting Wilmington Country Club back together after a tornado hit the center of the golf course in August of 2020.

THE CALL WENT OUT!

Andy. come and help, we have a problem.

Delaware is not known for tornado’s. A state with wide-open plains for twisters to blow through.

But when the PGA Tour shows up, and thinks your course can host a Fed Ex Cup Playoff event. Then 30 days later your course looks like a war-zone, the situation becomes-who you gonna call, Andy Green.

An up-rooted tree on the Wilmington Country Club South Course.

The number of fallen trees varies depending on who you talk to. But the number of tree’s lost was near 300.

But regardless of the number, the clean-up of the damage, is almost the easy part.

Because trying to figure out how to make sure that a golf course retains it’s strategic values, can be challenging.

The tornado had barely left Wilmington when the club realized it had a mess on it’s hands. Within hours Wilmington Country Club called Green who rushed to the scene.

But as bad as things appeared, the removal of some trees by Mother Nature helped the preparation phase for the BMW Championship and the PGA Tour/Fed Ex Cup Playoffs.

Tree’s lay fallen at Wilmington Country Club after an August of 2020 tornado.

Because prior to the tornado, the club was looking at removing some trees. Well not 300+ but a few here and there, to add yardage and some new tee boxes.

Which after the tornado clean-up was complete, is exactly what Wilmington Country Club did.

The lost trees allowed for one green to be moved and rebuilt. When Green finished with course changes and repairs, the Wilmington South Course was challenging as ever before.

CLICK HEAR to hear architect Andy Green discuss putting Wilmington Country Club back together after a tornado, and what’s new in golf course architecture.

The BMW Championship will played from August 16-21, tickets are available, visit BMWChampionship.com for information and pricing.

THE LAWN IS OPEN!

“The Lawn will be enjoyed by kids, families and people of all ages,” said head golf professional Vince Juarez.

Opening festivities included music from the band Z-28, and dining from the Bub City food truck.

GOLFERS ON GOLF was at the Wilmington Country Club in Delaware for the media event to start the drive towards the 2022 BMW Championship. This is the first of a series of stories regarding this years tournament.

Governor John Carney of Delaware opened media for the 2022 BMW Championship.

THE LAST MONDAY in JUNE saw media day come to the Wilmington Country Club in Delaware.

Where golf, or at least major golf tournaments on the PGA Tour are taken seriously by the host state.

That message was sent loud and clear. When the days proceedings started by having Delaware Governor John Carney step to the podium. Carney then introduced Western Golf Association Senior VP of Tournaments Vince Pellegrino.

But after the days press conference indoors wrapped-up, Governor Carney held court on Wilmington Country Clubs patio with the attending media. The focus of discussion was on golf, and what the tournament meant for the state of Delaware.

Because tournaments like this are good for the economy in the area. Governor Carney was only kind enough to speak with the press, he stayed to golf and for some post-round snacks and a beverage.

Governor John Carney speaks with State of Delaware official at Wilmington Country Club home of the 2022 BMW Championship.

Carney said that during the pandemic his golf game improved with the help of larger cups, and Covid-Pars.

But added his wife bought him a golf membership for a year, at a club by his house. That he called his post day stress-relief, not a bad plan.

Carney being present that day showed the kind of commitment that Delaware has for the BMW Championship. When asked about the quick reopening of golf in the State of Delaware, Carney explained that the economy and jobs were at stake. But the fact that golf is an outdoor activity, and if a club had a safe plan to open, we let them get back to business. A plan that Illinois could have learned from.

CLICK HERE TO HEAR the interview with Delaware Governor John Carney at the BMW Championship media day.

THE 2022 BMW Championship will be held from August 16-21 at the Wilmington Country Club in Delaware. Details at BMWChampionship.com.

THE GOG BLOG SPEAKS OUT-THE ILLINOIS FINISH AT THE JDC

THE PRESERVE at OAK MEADOWS NEW CLUBHOUSE is open. So before or after golf, stop in and try Chef Mike’s new menu Wednesday to Sunday. But make your tee time by calling the Preserve or online visit DuPagegolf.com DuPage Am is July 23-24.

THE GOG BLOG by RORY SPEARS, Director of Content and Creation. Follow Rory on Twitter or connect on LinkedIn and Facebook. In the WNDZ Studio.

HAPPY 4th EVERYONE-Get out and play some golf.

***Breaking news*** Condolences to those effected by the Highland Park Parade shootings.

AS A RESULT several area golf courses are closed tomorrow, with the suspect still on the loose.

WHAT A FINISH at the John Deere Classic on Sunday by our local players. Kevin Streelman, Nick Hardy and Patrick Flavin all went low. Streelman made a hole-in-one that CBS used to start the Sunday broadcast with. Flavin’s Sunday run put him into the top 5 on the leaderboard, until a par-bogey finish left him Top-10.

Flavin had the pleasure of playing with Team USA 2023 Ryder Cup Captain Zach Johnson on Sunday, and enjoyed played well in front of Johnson. But Flavin is still not a likely Captains pick for the Ryder Cup.

THE JOHN DEERE CLASSIC didn’t have the best luck with the new dates. In my opinion attendance was down, and many of the top players that were coming, happened to WD in the final days before Round 1. Disappointing for sure.

There are players on the PGA Tour who keep preaching loyalty to the tour, in the face of the growing LIV series of golf events. But some of those players who received sponsor’s exemptions to the John Deere even while in college, have been no-shows for years the JDC. Why ? The last two years have been the tournaments 50th anniversary, and this year was tournament director Clair Peterson’s last year before retirement. Where were the players who got those exemptions. No where to be found, both years. Loyalty, well former Cubs manager Lee Elia gave a speech once, look it up and see what he had to say about loyalty.

NEW GOLF CONSTRUCTION always a good thing has a few announcements. Cabot Golf is taking over at Castle Stuart in Scotland. They will add a new Tom Doak designed course on the site. But there is more, in the Sand Hills area of Nebraska, David Kidd of Bandon Dunes fame, will build a new layout there. Paul Albanese will work with PGA Tour pro KJ Choi on a new course in Viet Nam. Architect Ray Hearn an Evans Scholar will build 3-par 3 courses in three states (1-in Michigan) for Boyne Golf.

IT’S AMAZING how the PGA Tour schedule will change over the next two years, different payouts. Different money for some tournaments, and smaller fields for the playoffs. Because when the BMW Championship returns to Olympia Fields in 2023, the field size will be 50 not 70. About the size of a LIV Series event, who would have thought that.

CHARLIE WADDELL won the 102nd CDGA Amateur 6 & 4 over Zachary Mulhearn at the Glen Flora Country Club. Waddell (37) and father of three, held off yet another college age player in Mulhearn. Waddell a member at Shoreacres and Mulhearn a Glen Oak member, where his father Danny is the head golf professional. The match was broke open during the second 18, after the players were tied after the first 18 holes. For a full recap see CDGA.org.

Plenty more coming up this month, with several tournaments on tap. So if you have not signed up yet, it’s for both the Illinois Women’s Open at Mistwood, and the DuPage Amateur at the Preserve at Oak Meadows and Maple Meadows.
