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.

Trying To Establish Dominance #7
I have always been partial to the U.S. Open. I believe it to be the greatest golf tournament on the planet. I love when the USGA sets up gruelingly long courses with sinewy, Usain Bolt fast greens. You’ll never hear me complain about a guy winning the tournament with...
A Decade Later
It was a day later, in an empty golf cart barn where I cried. I’ll never forget that. After two days of being glued to the television watching images of towers falling in a city I’d never visited and hearing stories of loss about people I’d never met, I sat down in a...

Trying To Establish Dominance – #9
No matter which of the last 13 major champions I put at the 9th spot, there’s going to be controversy. I’ve shuffled and reshuffled the group a few times. My top three are pretty much locked in, but there are a number of ways to get there. I bet you could give this...
Trying To Establish Dominance While Surrounded By Parity – #10
This is going to be knockdown 220-yard four-iron into a cross breeze hard. That’s the conclusion I’ve come to after a day or two of looking at the past 13 major championships and their 13 different winners. How do you rank them? Is there a measurement system? Is there...

Trying To Establish Dominance While Surrounded By Parity
There has been no dominant force in the game of golf over the past three plus years. The past 13 major championships have gone to 13 different human beings. There’s almost no point in trying to project who’s going to win when and where. It’s too darn hard. Anyone in...
