News and Reminders . . .
It seems Mother Nature is currently a very bitter woman. It’s one thing to gradually reach the 90s by July, but another thing altogether to jump from rain and 50s/60s right into the 90s. Not even cooling off a bit in the evening. What was the old comic strip expression? Oh, yeah — AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!
TYB is currently running a subscription promotion to celebrate the majors, this one coinciding with the 2022 PGA Championship. Details here — send an email with your pick to win the PGA and you can win up to 180 days free paid subscription.
Reminder that the annual glow golf (night golf) outing at Metamora Fields Golf Club is scheduled for Friday evening, May 20th. Contact the pro shop (309.367.4000) for details and registration info.
Also, the River Cup Foundation 22nd Charity Outing will be held at Peoria Country Club on Monday, May 23rd, 2022. See the River Cup article for additional links to more information on sponsorships and registration.
The Peoria Park District 36-hole Stroke Play Championship will take place May 28th (Sat) at Newman and May 29th (Sun) at Kellogg. Forms are available at the Golf Learning Center, and TYB has them available for paid subscribers at the link above.
The Peoria Park District Junior Opens 1 (Newman), 2 (Madison), and 3 (Kellogg) are coming up in early June. Forms are available at the Golf Learning Center, and TYB is making them available to paid subscribers here, as well.

Articles and Updates . . .
No new articles since the last Bulletin, but if you haven’t already, check out the latest Quick Look article featuring Madison Golf Course, Peoria’s oldest municipal track.
If you are new to TYB, here are a few articles from the past few months:
As noted in the previous Bulletin, TYB Podcast Episode 4, featuring Brien Davis, winner of the recent 2022 Tazewell County Amateur, is now available. Brien has a great story and it makes for an interview you don’t want to miss.
More podcasts on the way. Working next on a couple of episodes with Scott Phegley (first episode to discuss Scott’s history and involvement in the local golf community, and second episode to focus on River Cup and River Cup Foundation).
If you know of someone in the Tri-County HOI golf community that you believe would be an interesting interview, please email their contact info and a brief description to theyardagebook@substack.com. Please use subject “Interview Suggestion”. I’ve received some really good suggestions and will be following up to get the interviews completed — keep them coming!
