HOT Weather, Outing/Tournament Reminders, Quick Look Madison, Brien Davis Podcast, and TYB PGA Championship Promotion
News and Reminders . . .
Hope everyone enjoyed the weather on this Mother’s Day weekend. Supposed to see 80s Monday, and then low 90s (!) Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Well, we asked for it, I suppose. Break out the sunscreen.
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 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.
If you have any news related to golf within the Tri-County HOI area, please let me know with an email to theyardagebook@substack.com.
Articles and Updates . . .
There is a new Quick Look article up featuring Madison Golf Course, Peoria’s oldest municipal golf course.
Also, starting today, TYB is running another subscription promotion 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.
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!
