The Midwest Swing wraps up in the Quad Cities with the John Deere Classic.
Remember, Kentucky is NOT the Midwest so don’t bring that up in here. They’re in the South.
And, Deere = construction equipment while John Deere = farm equipment.
The more you know, ok?
I’ve heard there are only two seasons in Minnesota.
Winter and the 4th of July.
Thankfully it’s the 4th of July!
I GOT JOKES PEOPLE.
Another week another debutante on the PGA TOUR as the Midwest Swing hits the midpoint in Minneapolis.
First of all, a BIG SHOUT OUT to the tournament organizers for calling this the 3M Open.
I’ve already saved 20 minutes typing this week!
Preview comes after lunch time, just like normal, even on a holiday July 3.
I give you the updated stat after the jump:
Rock out with your Kid Rock out!
Detroit will open its doors for the first time to a PGA TOUR event as the Detroit Golf Club is the host of this brand-new event.
Sometimes in the fantasy world, like Detroit, KISS is all you need.
Keep It Simple, Stupid
I just realized that my other life took over yesterday afternoon and I didn’t post Horses for Courses.
Apologies to all of you not on Twitter, but you can always find that column, if you look hard enough, at PGATOUR.com on Tuesday afternoon.
Meanwhile, the TOUR lands in Connecticut for the annual Bubba Watson Invitational presented by Paul Casey this week.
Prime-time Pebble Beach.
Father’s Day weekend.
Pull up a chair.
Will a new face be added after this year’s event?
New track this year as the event returns to Hamilton Golf & Country Club for the first time since 2012.
Scott Piercy is the defending champion on this track but big, bad Dustin Johnson won last year at Glen Abbey Golf Club.
Since this is only the fourth time at Hamilton Golf & Country Club, we don’t have much to rely on this week.
Not even playing 7,000 yards, this should open the field up. A bit of rain will expand the fairways and greens as well.
