U.S. Open week has finally arrived after what feels like an eternity since the USGA first announced the U.S. Open’s return to Merion. The golf media is going nuts over the USGA’s return to this historic venue and for good reason, it’s an incredible place. If you haven’t given it a look yet check out the profile I posted a few years ago. The course has had a few minor changes since then and the setup altered considerably to test the pros but the bones are the same. Over the last 6 years I’ve been fortunate enough to have [...]

If you want to stay in one of the 12 rooms in the clubhouse you need to call immediately! We booked about 6 months in advance to get the clubhouse rooms and that was before all the press that [...]

One of the questions I get asked with great regularity is how I was able to “get on” at a specific Top 100 course. Nine times out of ten the question will be in reference to one of the 80+ private courses on the Top 100 list, but just about every tenth time I hear the question it’s in reference to Bethpage Black. It seems an unusual question considering that the Black is a public golf course run by the state of New York, but this is no ordinary municipal track and securing a tee time can be very [...]
