Failed legislation would have replaced cups with buckets
I must admit I haven’t played Tour 18 Dallas in two or three years. But the experience remains fresh. All 18 holes are facsimiles of great golf holes, including “Amen Corner” at Augusta National and the 12th hole at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, which Ben Hogan called the best par four in the country. This is the next best thing to playing the real thing.
Another course worth considering is Coyote Ridge in Carrollton. It is a public fee course that is tough not only because of the way the holes are laid out, but also because of the wind. I consider this course simply an excellent test of golf. The par three 7th hole simply is a killer. It plays downhill, is fronted by a large pond and has an O.B. just behind the green. A marshal there gave me good advice when he said pick the club you want to hit and then go up at least one more.
Riverchase Golf Club in Coppell puts a premium on accuracy. Some of the nearby homes appear to be only yards away from the fairways.
Remember that most of these courses are pretty crowded, particularly in the early mornings and late afternoons when the temperature dips. If you play during the day this summer, my advice is use a cart, drink plenty of water and wear light clothing.
Pell tournament
The annual Ben Pell Memorial Classic will be played July 18 and 19 at Eagle Creek Golf Course.
The format calls for a two-person best ball and a tournament champion flight. The entry fee is $130 for the best-ball event and an extra fee of $20 per player for those competing in the tournament champion division. Deadline for entries is July 10.
At the conclusion of play on July 18, the field will be divided into two flights. The second flight will play on the morning of July 19 and the first flight will play that afternoon.
