Life is chaotic. Our attention and time are constantly pulled in different directions. What better way to escape this chaos than getting lost in nature? Or, in the case of this MyGolfSpy Experience, lost “above the clouds.”

Golf and nature go hand in hand. The land is a golf course architect’s canvas. The end result should be a golf course that allows golfers of all skill levels to enjoy the game and an impeccable display of nature in all of her beauty.

This is McLemore, present and future.

Play Above the Clouds

In Rising Fawn, Ga., along the eastern part of Lookout Mountain, there is a piece of property that boasts one of the best finishing holes you’ve ever seen and some of the most breathtaking views you’ll witness on a golf course. And that’s just the beginning.

Duane Horton, the visionary behind this remarkable creation, fell in love with the property in 2017. He and the Scenic Land Company purchased what was formerly called Canyon Ridge Resort. From there, they rebranded the property to McLemore.

The Ben Hogan Golf Equipment Company, left for dead just over a year ago, is coming back one more time.

As MyGolfSpy first reported on Twitter, Simon Millington, owner of Las Vegas-based Golf Brands, Inc., has struck a licensing deal with Hogan brand owner Perry Ellis to resurrect Hogan. Over the past year, Millington has brought long-gone brands MacGregor, RAM and Zebra back to life. And the opportunity to take on Hogan is something he couldn’t pass up.

“I like to hunt these things down a little bit,” Millington tells MyGolfSpy. “So when they had the problems last year, I knew Perry Ellis and got straight to them, literally immediately.”

Millington says it took months to put the deal together as others were interested in taking over the brand as well. It all came together in late September.

“We’ve got all the old Hogan inventory,” says Millington. “There’s some inventory in China, which is current stock and a couple of new models. That gives us instant product and we’ll start working on new products over time.”

As kids, many of us dreamed about making the winning basket in the championship game, a Super Bowl touchdown, a goal in the World Cup as the clock ran out, a tough putt to win a major.

Lexi Thompson didn’t just dream. She lived that dream, winning her first LPGA Tour event at age 16 to put her firmly on pro golf’s radar.

Twelve years later, Thompson competed in her first-ever PGA TOUR event, joining six other female professionals to do the same thing.

Thompson Gets A Sponsor Exemption

Thompson was given an exemption into the Shriners Children’s Open. Patrick Linsey, Executive Director of the Shriners Children’s Open, said, “We are eager to have Lexi on the course and continue to break through barriers, just as our more than 1.5 million patients do every day.”

For the tournament, TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas, played to 7,255 yards with a par of 71. The average yardage for an LPGA tournament is between 6,200 and 6,600 yards.

Investors are seemingly lining up for ownership of both the men's and women's professional games. So, what comes next?
