As much as we hate to think it, summer is leaving us. Yes as of tomorrow and by Thursday, Fall will be here.

Fall is one of the best times of the year to play golf, the courses are not as crowded and the temperatures and the humidity are not as bad. The Fall colors look great as the leaves start to turn. There is nothing like walking those final holes as the sun starts to set a little earlier in the day.

While you are playing your fall rounds why not do it in comfort and style. So make sure your fall wardrobe includes Sportswear and Golfwear from the Carnoustie Sportswear line.

  The Carnoustie Fall Sportwear Line, long sleeves and slacks that will make you look great on and off the golf course, play your fall rounds or enjoy the football season with some style and comfort.

Mercerized Cotton Knits, Performance Knits, Cotton Suedes and The Mackenzie Collection of cotton outerwear.

While other have fallen by the wayside Carnoustie continues it’s commitment to offer the finest in mercerized cotton. Carnoustie that has had a reputation for years in mercerized cotton knits, continues to use the same factories it has for more than 20 years.

The buttons are still made of real pearl, with collars made from piles of yarn that contain Lycra for shape retention. While the trend is classic knit collars, Carnoustie features more of a self fabric collar than before and that gives the polo a new crisp look.

Carnoustie CEO Marshall Mancillas

“The simplicity of the patterns with the boldness of color combine to create a collection of knits that stand out in today’s crowded marketplace,” says CEO Marshall Macillas. “We have consistently given our customer quality he can depend on. When he buys a Carnoustie product, he knows it will be in his wardrobe for a long time, looking as good as the day he bought it. And, he knows that he will be fashionable on and off the course in a Carnoustie polo.”

The performance Knits collection continues to gain speed, the Carnoustie plan of designing a collection of performance knits that can merchandise with the mercerized cotton knits, leaves a respected collection.

Performance knits gives Carnoustie a chance to adapt into the trends of today, and for the Fall of 2016 line, the features of chest stripes, color blocking, melange yarns and self fabric colors allow Carnoustie to offer for the first time long-sleeve style in five beautiful melange colors.

                 Carnoustie long-sleeve polo offers a style and weight perfect to be a first layer as cooler conditions enter the fall-season.

Cotton Suedes that have helped give Carnoustie a industry reputation for offering among the finest fleece for over 20 years, are now available in new colors along with jacquard patterns, and styles of retro full-zip jackets with front panels.

“The market has remained very loyal to the Carnoustie cotton suede collection over the years,” said Macillas. ” Despite the competition in this category, these goods have maintained a strong following. I am excited that the new colors and styles we have developed for this fall should stir up some excitement in this category.”

THE MACKENZIE COLLECTION that was created just a few seasons back, is there because at times you need something a little lighter than the brushed fleece. This quickly growing in popularity collection has been expanded for 2016. The 1/4 zip vests and long-sleeve styles will become a centerpiece of all merchandise groups. New for 2016 also includes a full-zip jacket with a sporty flat knit detail that runs down the sleeve from the neck to the cuff.

Now that you know how to be warm, comfortable, flexible and colorful in your fall line of outerwear, here is how you find Carnoustie. In Chicago area clubs like Ivanhoe, The Merit Club, Bull Valley, Rich Harvest Farms, Green Acres, Flossmore, Itaska and Lake Shore.

Labor Day is behind us, and now summer soon will be as well. I know that some people think summer ends after Labor Day. But that is not entirely true.

Summer actually ends a couple of weeks later, and that date actually pops up on the calendar this week.

That being said the week ahead is expected to be in the 80’s, and will be great golf weather all week long. So get out and play while you have the chance, before we know it the weather will change and the snow flakes will be here, and we will be hitting in domes.

THE TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP tee’s off this week in Atlanta, the final week of the playoff’s and one player is going to make a lot of money. Dustin Johnson has the point lead and win’s the Fed Ex Cup if he wins in Atlanta. Hopefully it’s a good tournament with an exciting finish.

THE RYDER CUP then is on the tee box the following week, the Gog Blog is looking forward to being there, and providing some additional coverage. Stay clicked in for that.

I AM really impressed with the start to the college golf season for the Fighting Illini, two tournaments and two wins for Mike Small’s team. It would be easy to call this year a rebuilding year for Illinois, but it looks like Small has reloaded and has his team rolling right out of the blocks.

A come from behind win at Wolf Run, and going wire-to-wire at Olympia Fields was pretty good as well. Illinois had a 6 shot lead after Round 1, 21 shots after Round 2, and by Seven shots over # Oklahoma State after yesterday’s final round was complete.

Illinois not only beat Oklahoma State, but six other ranked teams including #1 texas and #2 USC not bad. Junior Dylan Meyer lead Illinois with a 1 Under par score and Junior Nick Hardy shot even par. Freshman Brian Baumgarten who carded a 5 under par 65 in round one, was over par the rest of the way and ended up at +4. But still some solid play and maybe it will be Baumgarten who helps Illinois get down the road to Rich Harvest Farms next May.

I’LL MAKE MY DEBUT at Cog Hill for 2016, which in itself is sad, it never takes me this long to get there, but looking forward to a nice outing and seeing what’s up with the Jemsek’s and at Cog Hill. Details to follow.

Plenty of news in the week ahead, Carnoustie Fallwear, and a new Titleist Driver are among this weeks top highlights. Stay clicked in. RS.

The University of Illinois has built it’s lead in the OFCC/Fighting Illini Golf Invitational to 21 shots as the tournament heads into it’s final day.

The story of Day 2 was Junior Dylan Meyer who a shot a 3 under par 67 on the famed North Course to lead Illinois and help the build their commanding lead.

Illinois is at 6 Under par for 36 holes and second place Texas A&M is at 15 over par.

Oklahoma State at +17 is in third place. Bryan Baumgarten who opened Day 1 with a 65, shot 72 in Round 2. Illinois has three players in the top 4 spots, with Nick Hardy being the third player after a 71 in Round 2.

Dylan Meyer seen here during the Western Amateur continued his hot play at Olympia Fields.

“Today was another positive day, Dylan was the anchor, shooting 3-under,” said head coach Mike Small. “To have these guys among the top four shows a very deep effort this week. The conditions were tougher today with the pins and wind, but we stayed the course and stayed with our plan, persevering through a tough day to score.”

Meyer is tied for the lead with Cameron Champ of Texas A&M.

The final round of the tournament is today at Olympia Fields, with Illinois tee-times starting at 8:45 am.

Small added,” the plan for Sunday is to stay strong and move our games in the right direction.”

Illinois is ranked No.3 in the country right now and seven other ranked are competing in the event. including #1 Texas and #2 USC.

The BMW Championship is in the books for the 2016 golf season, Dustin Johnson walked off with the trophy and a lead in the Fed Ex Cup point standings.

Johnson admitted to struggling with his irons a little, but heated up as the tournament went on. Once he got going even this strong field of 70 players could not keep up with him.

The Top 30 coming out of Crooked Stick move on to Atlanta and the East Lake Golf Club and the Tour Championship, lets see who wins it should be a good championship next week, be sure to tune in.

The Pete and Alice Dye statue behind the 18th green at Crooked Stick Golf Club.

PETE DYE and his wife Alice were the chairman and or chairwoman of the championship. But unlike past events at Crooked Stick the Hall of Fame architect was not seen at the championship.

He was at his home off the 18th fairway, but the 90 year Dye has had health issues of late, and doesn’t have quite the memory that he once had. All of us who enjoy golf and Pete Dye courses around the country, are pulling for Pete to enjoy his time ahead the best way he can. In fact a new Dye Course will open later this month in the Indianapolis area, The Gog Blog will details on that in the days ahead. Stay clicked in.

The new pond on 17 at Crooked Stick.

The new pond on 17 didn’t have quite the effect some thought it might on the players, but in spite of rain the wind never was strong enough to serious effect on the top players in the game.

But the rain did, some players play better and some don’t in the rain or after it.

On more than one day there was Lift, Clean and Place rules in effect. I know there are media folks that love to call it “lift-clean&cheat” but it would have lead to some plugged balls and “squirrely shots” as Johnson saw it.

RAIN and the BMW. Some years back former Western Open Championship Director Brian Fitzgerald used to say, “need rain schedule the Western Open”. Well the BMW has not fared much better in recent years.

After seeing the downpour at Crooked Stick this year, that was almost as bad as what Crooked Stick had in 2012, what the championship had at Conway Farms in 2013 and 2015, the cold weather at Cog Hill two different years, and the rain at Bellerive it would be nice next year if the championship could be a dry one.

2017 is a return to Conway Farms in Lake Forest and it might be the last time the BMW is there for a while. In 2018 the tournament heads to Philadelphia at Aronimink, in 2019 it’s at Medinah Country Club and after that as of now is a ? The BMW contract runs out in 2019 and after Medinah nobody is quite sure yet what the future might be.

Whether BMW returns or not, here’s hoping the WGA and the PGA Tour can find more years to play the championship in the Chicago area, kind of like the schedule used by the Barclays Championship that just moved the event around the New York or Northern New Jersey area.

Crooked Stick has signed on to be the host of the Western Amateur in 2020, so the championship is not expected to return there in 4 years. I give the WGA and the PGA Tour credit on how they set up the final holes at Crooked Stick, the sky boxes and open area’s made for a nice mix and the spectators seemed to enjoy it.

Every year Conway Farms add’s a few more tweaks to make things better for the BMW Championship, it will be interesting to see what’s new in 2017. But whatever Conway Farms does add, I’m just hoping all those improvements stay dry in 2017, it’s really time for four days of nice dry golf at the BMW Championship. RS

They are off and running and it appears early on that the University of Illinois and Coach Mike Small are off and running.

Coming from behind last week, Illinois won the rain shortened Wolf Run Invitational and this week is off to a first round lead in their own OFCC Fighting Illini Invitational that is being contested at Olympia Fields Country Club.

Illinois is being lead by Freshman Bryan Baumgarten who shot a sizzling 5 under par 65 on the clubs North Course. Juniors Nick Hardy (68) and Dylan Meyer (69) were under par as well.

  Illinois Coach Mike Small after his recent win in the IPGA Section Championship at Olympia Fields, and Junior Dylan Meyer at The Knollwood Club after winning the Western Amateur.

Other Illinois scores included Fr. Michael Feagles (72+2) and Edoardo Lipparelli (73+3), and playing as individuals for Illinois are Giovanni Tadiotto (73) and Trevor Gold (74).

As a team Illinois was 6 under Par, and in second place is Texas A&M at Even Par and Oklahoma State is in third place at +7, 13 shots behind Illinois. All seven Illinois players are in the top 29 players in the field.

“Everybody played well today, it was a total team effort,” said Small.” As a coach I was very happy that we got off to a good start, but we have to realize that this is just the first round. We need to comeback and play the same way tomorrow, and deal with the changing of pins and conditions.”

Baumgarten started his round birdie-bogey, then was bogey free the rest of the round.

“For Brian to shoot a 65, that show’s his true potential and what he can do,” said Small. “When he got it going today, I like his presence and how he sustained his momentum throughout the round. He didn’t get wrapped up in his score.”

Some of the nations top powers are at the OFCC/Illini invitational and Illinois will have to play well to maintain it’s lead throughout the championship. Big Ten schools Purdue is 4th and Indiana is 10th after the first round.

It’s time to putt out for the 2016 golf radio season, this morning at 9 AM the Golfers on Golf Radio season does come to the end.

22 weeks has flown by faster than we thought it would, and as far as the airwaves go, our season is coming to and end.

Jim McWethy holds the menu of his McWethy’s Tavern at Mistwood Golf Club in Romeoville, Happy Birthday Jim.

Just down the street from the BMW is the Wolf Run Collegiate Invitational that is featuring schools like Purdue and Illinois.

This year the Boilermakers are off to a great start and hold the lead after round one. But heavy overnight rains on Friday night, have cut that event down from 54 holes to just 18. It is likely to be the last main event at Wolf Run, as the golf course a great Steve Smyers design, is closing in the fall of next year, it’s being plowed under for a new development, and the land will be full of homes. It is sad to see this golf course go away.

The BMW Championship is now through 3 rounds, and Dustin Johnson has the lead at 18 under par.

Winfield’s Kevin Streelman admits he is grinding through week 4 of 4 straight weeks out on tour, and made no secret that his he and wife and the kids looking forward to being home next week and getting some R & R in.

While Streelman is just at even par at the BMW Championship, he is looking forward to a nice finish to his playoff season.

But even more than that, he is looking forward to hitting a new driver in 2017. It’s a new driver that’s not even out on the market yet.

Coming up on October 4th on The Golf Channel, the Wilson Golf mini-series called Driver vs Driver hits the airways.

Driver vs Driver is a contest that pitted anyone who wanted to be a club designer, against other would-be designers in a contest to create a new driver for Wilson Golf.

The winner earns $500,000. Wilson Golf GM Tim Clark appeared on, Golfers on Golf Radio a few weeks back and talked about the contest, which is now done and as they say in TV, in the can.

The entry’s came from engineers, some golf pro’s who felt they could improve upon the product in the pro shop, and students who used the contest as a college project.

Streelman along with former Chicago Bears Linebacker Brian Urlacher were among the judges. The shows according to Streelman really put Chicago in a good light, (we will see). But they should do something for Wilson Golf, that could gain some share market from the show and from the departure of Nike Golf from making clubs all at the same time.

Yesterday while talking to Golfers on Golf, Streelman announced his plans to play the winning driver on tour next year. As of now Streelman is expecting to open the season at the tournament formerly known as the Bob Hope Desert Classic in the Palm Springs area.

Click here to hear an interview with PGA Tour player and Wilson Golf Staff player, Winfield’s very own Kevin Streelman.

Streelman said he liked 2 or 3 of the drivers that made the finals, and now the driver that wins, which will hit the market on Black Friday to open the Christmas season after Thanksgiving, will be in Streelman’s bag to start his 2017 season on tour. Quite an additional perk for the winners of the contest.

Don’t forget the show Driver vs Driver starts on October 4th on the Golf Channel, see local listings for show times.

What will he think of next. In the case of master putter designer Scotty Cameron, you never know, but his new idea is another good one.

The new Cameron and Crown putter offers four new models of 33 inches and are weighted for golfers who need a shorter set up.

Cameron and Crown putters will on the market and in your pro shop come September 23rd.

All of the new putters come with the same craftsmanship, quality and tour-proven performance, that the best professionals in the world have been using now for over two decades.

More on the web at scottycameron.com

The new Cameron and Crown putters while designed at 33 inches, all have properly weighted heads, and a new smaller diameter along with White Matador Grips.

The combination of the above, gives the golfer a correct swing weight, while providing optimum feel and balance all through the putting stroke.

From the design of modern blade to a high-MOI mallet, the Cameron and Crown models can be purchased in some of Scotty’s most popular head shapes. The Select Newport 2, the Select Newport M2 Mallet, the GoLo 5 and the Futura X5R. The variety should give golfers at all levels of ability comfort with the style of putter they select.

The new putters use a 303 stainless steel and a 6061 aircraft grade aluminum for the face inlays, face-sole components and flange constructions- is perforamnce matched to each of the putter styles.

“Each year, I’ve received increasingly more requests-from men, women and juniors- for a 33 inch putter,” said Titleist Master Putter make Scotty Cameron. “We wanted to call special attention to the importance of weight and length and create a unique offering for those players whose setup dictates a 33-inch putter.”

A Scotty Cameron Newport 2, from the Cameron and Crown Collection.

Scotty also added this thought on the new putters.

“When we pioneered the adjustable sole weight system, it became possible to match the putter head weight relative to the length for a balanced stroke,” said Cameron. ” Cameron and Crown models are purpose-built 33 inch designs, not manipulated 35 inch putters, with two 20-gram weights to ensure the swing weight and feel of these putters are consistent wit their longer counterparts.”

These putters available in the USA and Canada on Sept. 23rd and the rest of the world on Oct. 21 at $379 MAP and $410 MSRP. Find more information at Scottycameron.com and on Youtube.com and Instagram and Twitter under Scotty Cameron.
