TYB Bulletin - 5/15/22
Heat Wave Over, TYB PGA Championship Promotion Underway, Upcoming Tournaments/Outings, Recent Articles, Scott Phegley Podcast Coming
News and Reminders . . .
Now that this past week’s record-setting heat wave is over, it looks like we may have at least a few weeks of more normal weather. This weekend was a welcome change, and I am not ashamed to admit, I left the keyboard behind and got out on the course both Sat and Sun. Also, PGA Junior Leagues around the area are ramping up full-swing now (pun intended), and I enjoyed watching my Junior Leaguer and his league-mates play today in their first on-course matches.

Articles and Updates . . .
No new articles since the last Bulletin, but if you are new to TYB, here are a few articles from the past few months:
More podcasts on the way. Working on post-production for the first of two (or more?) episodes with Scott Phegley. The first episode should be published prior to the next TYB Bulletin going out Wednesday/Thursday. The first episode focuses on Scott’s history and involvement in the local golf community, and the second episode will focus primarily on the 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!
