Porter Cup Media Day Came And Went
A lot of information was shared, and the golf course was opened for a test drive.We learned a few things on Tuesday the 16th, at the Niagara Falls Country Club. A week from today, 90 of the world’s best amateur golfers will begin competition in the 60th playing of the Porter Cup. What will they face? Who are they? Here is what we know.
~The #7 golfer in the world, Chun An Yu, and the #22 ranked golfer, John Pak, will compete in this year’s tournament;
~Four of the continent’s top mid-amateur golfers will compete. They are: Kevin O’Connell, the 2018 USGA Mid-Amateur champion; Matt Parziale, the 2017 Mid-Am champion; Garrett Rank; and Justin Tereshko;
~The golf course is in the midst of a greens revitalization and renewal. Many of the putting surfaces have been recontoured to add additional undulation, while still offering new hole locations. All 18 will eventually undergo this treatment;
~On the junior side, one of the top commits from the class of 2020, Canon Claycomb of Orlando, will compete. Claycomb will attend the University of Alabama. He has represented the USA on both the Junior Ryder Cup and Junior Presidents Cup teams;
~The golf course will likely offer a lot of putts at birdie, as long as golfers can keep their tee balls in the fairway. Rain is forecast for 3 or 4 of the next 10 days. The remaining days will be overcast, ensuring that the course does not “drought-out.” Unless the tees are waaaaay back on 5, 8, 9, 13 and 17, expect less-than-drive on many of the par-four holes;
~All of the golfers will have four attempts at replicating Tiger Woods’ 12th-hole ace in 1994. If they come as close as this guy, they’ll make birdie more often than not.

he said, HE SAID – Match Play vs. Stroke Play
In honor of the playing of the WGC Match Play championship, this week's head-to-head, toe-to-toe, mano-a-mano pits The Mouth's support of stroke, or medal, play golf versus Mo' Golf's affinity for match play. While The Mouth demonstrates his usual, cool aplomb, Mo'...
Manly Stanley~How Kyle Stanley’s Bounceback Differs
Kyle Stanley gave away a golf tournament one week, then screamed back a week later to win another. So much was written about his implosion and later, on his vindication, that my head spun again and again. I knew the headline (see above) would write itself, but the...

What do I see?
During 75-minute car rides to and from Rochester last weekend for the annual Golf Show, Mo Golf informed me that he'd posted an article I'd penned in fun and innocence about how the first few golf holes at a course should set up on a different network and it had...

Hole Number 2 in the Rochester Series
2) Ravenwood, Par 4, 315 Yards Continuing on my theme of short par fours, Ravenwood's second is my go-to for controversial yet wonderful golf holes. When players complain about the blandness of Ravenwood's greens, I immediately point to the second green. The usual...
The Rochester Version of “Best Holes in Western New York”
I immediately took issue with Mo Golf's "Western New York" claim on Buffalo Golfer's new poll series. For me, Western New York has always included Rochester and Buffalo. I played Western New York Junior Tour events at Niagara Frontier, Silver Lake, Webster, and...
Oh Mo! Tiger Smashes Belly Putters
If you recall, Mo Golf and I don’t exactly see eye-to-eye on belly putters. He’s a fan. I’m not. The fact that he’s a better player/putter is irrelevant. As I’ve said before and will say again, there are things a man should never do and use a belly putter is one of...
