October 2022 Ohio Golf Journal

2022 Golf Season Is Winding Down With red, orange, yellow and golden leaves framing Ohio golf courses, October may be the best month of the year to be outside chasing a golf ball. Cooler days and fewer golfers on the courses are also a plus. Can you tell, I love to play golf in the Fall. Michigan is also a great place for golf in October. In this issue we talk about BOYNE Resort, Treetops and the Gaylord Golf Mecca. The rolling sand hills are awash with fall colors and add to the golf experience at these great resorts. A word to the wise, now is the time to book your 2023 golf getaway to Northern Michigan. The pricing will undoubtedly be better, plus you can lock in the courses and tee times that you want for your golf group. October is also a time to reflect on this past golf season. The LIV Golf Tour has definitely made an impact on the world of professional golf. The Saudi government has poured billions of dollars into the new circuit and Greg Norman has been able to lure several of the game’s biggest names to forsake the PGA Tour with huge eight and nine number guarantees. The LIV Tour still needs a television contract with a large international network that would bring more viewers to their product and Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) points for the players. Recently it was reported that the LIV Tour formed a strategic alliance with the Middle Eastern and South African Tour (MENA), a minor tour that does receive OWGR recognition and points. It will be interesting to see if that tactical maneuver will bring the LIV Tour closer to legitimacy. To keep up to date with all the happenings between the LIV Tour and the PGA Tour be sure to watch, or listen to Back 9 Report every week on YouTube. We hope you enjoy this issue of the Ohio Golf Journal and look for me on the Back 9 when you get out to the course.
