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.

The Weekender: Post Halloween Blues
I've always liked week-long celebrations, despite never making it to Mardi Gras or Carnaval. It seems a gyp that Halloween is a one-nighter. I don't worship evil, mind you, but I love lighting the pumpkins up at watching them glow each evening. Don't want to go broke...
Stolen Holes: A Series
Part Two: Dirty Golf Unbelievably, I snuck out for more golf on Thursday, again while the monkeys were off dancing. After, I went across the street to have my Two-Ball extended into a belly putter, but that's another tale (yet unwritten) for another time. You know the...
Sergio Is Back – At Least That’s What I Hear
I did good. Heck, for me, I did phenomenal by keeping my mouth shot and not talking about how great Sergio Garcia has been playing as of late. If you haven't been following, Garcia has won the last two event he's played in. He won the Castello Masters by 11 strokes...
Stolen Holes: A Series
Part One: The Seven Stages of Fall Muni Golf Given the fortune of working near Colvin & Amherst, knowing that child # 4 would be at play rehearsal until 8 pm, I dropped # 3 off at dance and shot back to work this afternoon. Not to do additional work, mind you, but...

RecycleView-Recycled Interview with Brady Riggs
This interview first appeared in September of 2010 (about a year ago) and is a deserved first installment of RecycleView. We've read Brady Riggs in GolfTips Magazine for years and dig his look almost as much as we respect his teaching. Read on and play on!...
Presidents Cup Still Ahead.
The only real professional golf tournament on my radar in the next month is the highly-anticipated Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Australia. It's the stepsister to the Ryder Cup, but it packs as much talent and potential excitement as any other team...
Halloween Resolution: The Weekender
I've never been much of a conformist, having been raised in those liberal 70s. New Year's Resolutions aren't for me; the line is so crowded that I can hardly see my way to the "Top Of The Line" resolution stands. I prefer Halloween, the holiday that falls less than a...

Operation Don’t Suck – A Look Back
They say snow may come our way tomorrow and for all but the truest of true die hard golfers, that translates to the end of a season. This season was like any other for me as I actually "tried" to get better. By that, I mean I took some lessons, read some books and put...
The Shots That Bring You Back
I should have known golf would find a way to make me look like a hypocrite. I posted early Saturday morning about how when the weather and season change in this region, my passion for golf finds a way to subdue itself. It was my way of saying, "I'm probably done...
