@GolfweekRingler But players are telling their coaches they’re going into the portal before the preseason so that they can be scouted… why is that? I I agree with you, it’s better… but it’s still broken.
College golf lost a good man today. Brian Stubbs was deeply passionate about the game. But more than that, he was thoughtful and kind. It was fun to laugh with Stubbs. Sending love to his family.
NEWS: East Potomac Golf is expected to shut down on Sunday after the last tee time as the Trump administration officially takes it over.
Renovations will start at a later date once compliance has been met. Tom Fazio expected to lead the renovation.
Additionally, the admin has offered the National Links Trust a renewed lease for Rock Creek Park Golf with a waiver for unpaid rent.

'One more time'
HOUSTON – The same day Stacy Lewis had surgery to fuse a metal rod and five screws into her spine, the medical team asked her to get out of the hospital bed and make her way to the bathroom. Lewis didn’t say anything, but she did give them an are-you-crazy kind of look. When she’d shuffled about halfway across the room, her father, Dale, noticed a tear fall down her face, and that was it.
He left the room.
Out in the hallway, Dale sat down next to a window and sent up a prayer, asking God for two things: 1) that she never have to wear a back brace for the rest of her life and 2) that she play college golf.
That second one, he admits, might have been a little greedy.
One year later, in September 2004, Lewis teed it up for the University of Arkansas at a tournament in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Dale cried again.
“We weren't sure she'd ever do that,” said Dale, walking down 10th hole at Memorial Park on a cloudy Friday afternoon at the Chevron Championship, six weeks removed from knee surgery.
“Everything after that's been a bonus.”
And what a bonus it has been: 13 LPGA titles, two majors, two Solheim Cup captaincies, an NCAA championship, two LPGA Player of the Year titles, two scoring titles, 25 runner-up finishes and nearly $15 million in career earnings.
As Nelly Korda rocketed up the board to a seven-shot lead at the Chevron, Lewis, a woman who helped make much of what Korda and her peers enjoy today possible, closed out her LPGA career at the major that berthed the dream nearly 20 years ago.
Now four months pregnant with her second child, 41-year-old Lewis had husband Gerrod Chadwell caddie for her this week, but it was Chadwell who insisted that Dale take the bag for the final walk up the 18th.
“One more time,” said a teary-eyed Dale as he put on the bib and headed to the tee.

Sorry we missed our state champion golfer! Glad you were able to revisit and congrats on the HOF! Sorry about the conditioning, the water won’t let up!
@CulverAcadGolf It was fantastic. You are doing an amazing job. I cannot wait to come back!!! I’m sure it’s insane in the summer when it’s firm. I need to practice more before the next time!
Lost to a birdie on 9. I had a look, missed high. Sportsmanship abounded, good times were had. All divots and hallmarks were fixed. @CulverAcadGolf thanks for such an amazing experience.
