When I was a stick at Audubon for one brief season in the early 1990s, Richie Weber and I got it in our heads that we were going to travel to Ontario to seek out the legendary, perhaps mythical Moe Norman. We never did and I’m still pissed about it. I had a...

The favorites? Easier than looking out the window and forecasting the weather. Everyone in attendance knew, just knew, that Patrick Rodgers would make two eagles on the inward nine and outlast the field in a playoff to win the 2011 Porter Cup, right? I have a sense of...

(Editor’s Note: We’ve done a new 2012 review of Chestnut Hill, but didn’t want to abandon this classic from the April 2011 annals of Rico’s Rants.) Are you looking for a well maintained course with reasonable rates? A course that is well within...

One thing that everyone in the field learned on Sunday: there are some wickedly delightful hole locations at Grover Cleveland golf course. Despite its lack of distance, many of the putting surfaces were designed by Walter J. Travis and Donald J. Ross, two of the...
