Like so many golfers, I became an “armchair architect” at an early age, constantly visualizing ways to improve my home course, Scioto, in Columbus, along with, as my wings spread, many of the others I played…more and more, I began to ask myself whether it was possible to create something more interesting and inviting.

I am fully aware that more and more golfers have come to intensely dislike the stretching of seemingly all modern courses to seven thousand and more yards, not only because they can’t handle length, but because of the higher construction and maintenance costs involved…the developer mindset that has evolved from the massive overuse of perhaps the single emptiest phrase in the entire history of golf, namely, “Championship Course.” JACK NICKLAUS

The LIV field lives! It took a while but the June 9-12 event finally has a field, almost.
There’s so much to shake your head at and so much to laugh at who will play for gobs of undeserved money next week in London.
Dustin Johnson is the headliner for now and despite being a well-know RBC team member obligated to play the Canadian Open—one would think—he will likely lose his partnership based on this RBC statement obtained by Adam Stanley:
Johnson’s participation is silly on so many levels. Besides the lack of loyalty to the PGA Tour and a sponsor like RBC that puts him in ads despite being a less than eloquent pitchman, the 2020 Masters champion has been back and forth on his desire to grab the Saudi cash. In February he was out, but by May’s PGA he was looking forward to seeing how the event played out.
He’s all about the money.

Adam Woodward reports on a wild finish to the men’s individual title chase that ended in a four-man playoff won by Vanderbilt’s Gordon Sargent. The true freshman joins a small group to have won the title in their first year, including Ben Crenshaw and Phil Mickelson.
The final eight teams are set, with Tuesday featuring 36-holes of matches concluding with Wednesday’s final. It was a remarkable show by top ranked teams backing up their season-long efforts to reach the elite eight. Woodward previews the bracket and morning matches.
The teams and TV Times:
Is it not high time that Authority placed a definite limit upon the golfer's insatiable greed for distance? Does not history teach that an art is ever ruled by a small intelligent minority? Why, then, pay attention to the ever-unthinking majority? Let them have their damn ball; but if they wish to enter the lists of the academy of the Amateur and Open Championships then they must use implements that will compel them to reflect in their play the best traditions of the sport that have been inherited from the past. And such limitations would be in line with the practice that prevails when it comes to contests of skill in other sports. MAX BEHR

The Golden Years of Hogan are certainly easier for me o remember than more recent events. Like when Steve Flesch won. Or Olin Browne. Or David Frost. Or Fulton Allem. Or Tim Herron. Or that fateful interlude when if it wasn’t Keith Clearwater, it was Ian Baker-Finch. One hit wonders occasionally add a touch of charm to an annual golf event , but not when they come in droves. For those of you who cut too many history classes, the Hogan years started with the first Colonial in 1946, and it didn’t hurt a thing that Ben won the inaugural with a shocking course-record 65 in the final round.
