Cowboys G.C. 1600 Fairview Drive Grapevine, TX (just ten-fifteen minutes from DFW airoprt) 817.481.7277 www.cowboysgolfclub.com Architect: Jeff Brauer Wild winds whipped the plane as we made our way to Dallas. That’s meant the golf would be even better, if I were fortunate enough to get to the course. Winds around Dallas often wreak havoc on flight...
One of golf’s most graceful courses wins the Jazzy Award for Best Private course this year, a course where tradition, quiet dignity, and altruism are the order of the day. Far from any television towers, gallery stands, and the latest, greatest waterfall ever built on a golf course, but far closer to the egalitarian spirit of the game as envisioned by her...
Coore and Crenshaw’s Colorado Golf Club may host a future PGA Championship. Deets coming out on November 20.
The winter tour will be in Texas and will once again feature rock stars Bowling For Soup as my playing partners. We’ll be hitting Jeff Brauer’s Cowboys G.C. in Dallas, Colonial C.C., Pine Dunes, Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club, and others. Deets later. For now, Steve Habel, Cybergolf’s southwest correspondent has this report on Texas PGA...
As soon as I get the decision, I’ll analyze and post, but this sounds downright asinine to me. A Westchester state court Judge ruled that Winged Foot must close their par-3 sixth hole because the house of the man who lives right of the green gets hit by too many golf balls now that the club removed three trees. On another note, I’m making soem edits...
BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, MI – Here’s four words I’ll bet you never thought you’d hear uttered joyfully on a golf course: Thank goodness, it rained. To be precise, it poured. It rained bricks and bats. The lightning crashed and the thunder rolled. Two holes opened up in the roof of the media tent, sending journalists scrambling like rabbits for...
BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, MI – The sky darkened without warning, but that happens here with alarming frequency. A drowsy, lazy-hazy day of summer – a mellow day more reminiscent of the easy-going south than the hardscrabble rust belt of Michigan, – suddenly turned into roiling darkness. In an instant, the sky turned from glorious gold and bold, bright...
Tom Doak and Jack Nicklaus’s Sebonack G.C. in Southampton, NY will host the 2013 U.S. Women’s Open. Click here for the Cybergolf.com story. From the article: “It will be the first U.S. Women’s Open held on Long Island and the first time the championship will be conducted in New York State since 1973. Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck hosted...
A little guy’s enormous heart and easy-going nature helped him fill some of the biggest shoes in golf history yesterday as Ohio native Mike Kelley won twice in match play to capture the 98th Walter J. Travis Invitational tournament. After defeating Kevin Hammer 2-up in the semi-finals in the morning round, Kelley overcame a two hole deficit early, then rallied...
The first part of this article is here. I noticed an evolution of Jim’s bunkering at Blackstone Country Club in Peoria, Arizona, but did not consider it a permanent departure until he repeated the design at Creek Club. In Jim’s earlier work – Fossil Trace and Redlands Mesa for example – Jim’s muscle bunkers were actually sinkholes. The...
Two important Reads of the Day dominate the golf world today. First, I’ll see The Philly Inquirer’s Joe Logan at St. Andrews tomorrow (the one in Hastings-on-Hudson), so we can talk more about how mutual friends of ours are restoring Cobbs Creek. Hey Joe! Mike Cirba! We should do a “home and home” of Cobbs Creek and The Knoll Club...
I’ll write longer pieces over the next few days, but Masters week was made even more memorable by two excellent days of golf not far from fabled Augusta. About ninety minutes away, Mike Young designed an excellent, affordable public course, Long Shadow G.C. in Madison, GA, just one mile off Route 20, the Interstate that connects Atlanta and Augusta. With...
Once again the tour bus will be revving, the keyboard will be clicking, and we’ll be bringing you the best travel destinations, along with pro tour and NCAA coverage all spring and summer long. The first stops will be in Georgia to coincide with the Masters and the Golf Writers Association of America events. We’ll be live from not only Augusta...
First, New York City finally approved RFPs for the Ferry Point project, a planned 18 hole public golf course located in the Bronx on a site not unlike Bayonne across the river in New Jersey. Don’t get your hopes up, though. Between the Parks Department wasting money on improvements at city public courses and the massive amounts of money and time wasted...
