THE LOVE OF GOLF

2024 Drive, Chip and Putt Qualifiers
Did you see Nick Dunlap win the TOUR event played in Palm Desert. As you probably know – Dunlap is a 20-year-old at the U of Alabama. An amateur hadn’t won on TOUR since Phil Mickelson won the Tucson Open in 1991.
DRAMA Missing On TV Golf
The Psychic is bored! For years the drab winter season in the frozen north was the time to watch golf on television and practice putting on the carpet.
LIVE FROM THE INSIDE

The Launch Club – Ready For Liftoff
Let’s face it, this winter has been unlike any other. While I have played golf in Minnesota in January (in 1998 my brother Ken reminds me), the mild temperatures are unprecedented and much warmer than the 1877-1878 “year without a winter” that historians like to reference.

Lots and lots of water.
3M Open Teeing-Up 5th Anniversary
Though a 5th anniversary is traditionally recognized by the gift of wood, incarnation number five of the 3M Open may instead be marked by water.

So Much More At Mystic Lake Casino Hotel
