LPGA Asked Augusta To Host Women's Event
If at first you don’t succeed, try try again. You have to hand it to LPGA commissioner Mike Whan, he asks Augusta National every year if the club will host a LPGA tournament.
My favorite tournament all year is the Masters. Fingers crossed for more televised golf at Augusta!
The par 3, #4 at the Stanwich Club. I hit my best shot of the day here to four feet and still lost the hole!

“To justify my inclusion in this terrific society, I went back and looked at everybody who’s in it and did some statistics. It turns out that I have known 95 of these people when they were living. I’ve written stories about 73 of them. I’ve had cocktails and drinks with 47 of them, and I played golf with 24 of them. So I want somebody else to try and go up against that record.” - Dan Jenkins
My favorite view on hole #5 is from the green, but this one isn’t too shabby.
Tom Fazio’s work on the course a few years ago led to the addition of two fairway bunkers on this hole. Not only are they punishing to wayward tee shots, they frame the hole. I try to remind myself the bunkers are aesthetically pleasing every time I’m forced to hit a pitching wedge back into play.
Opening day at the Stanwich Club has finally arrived.
2012 is the 50th anniversary of Stanwich, which was founded by residents of Connecticut.
The anniversary logo was designed by a club member, and is featured on every flag on the golf course.
Flowering trees currently frame the green of the par 4 starting hole at the Stanwich Club. The green slopes sharply from left to right, and back to front. Players must take aim between the left fringe and the center of the green to use the slope to their advantage. A missed shot faces bunkers left, short left, and right of the green.
