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.

Stolen Holes: December
The Links at Ivy Ridge is less than a decade old, but it fits like forever. The golf course is rugged, in a way that lets it glow on a March, July or December day, as it did today. The Scrambler, Coil and I snuck out for 18 holes in under four hours, stealing some...
Tiger Wins Again
Major championship? Nope. Regular tour event? Nope. Big-time victory? Yep. Tiger Woods took the lead at the Chevron on the back nine at Sherwood with birdies on 10 and 11, gave it back to Zach Johnson over the next few holes, then finished the field off with birdies...

Tiger On The Growl At Chevron
We took a trip once, a winding route through back-country roads. One of the children created a "chevron system" to measure the depth of a curse. Very steep ones were "8 chevron curves." This week, I'm thinking that Tiger Woods might be an 8 chevron curve at the event...
Something In A Smile…
