Renegar Golf: a Cool New Wedge Concept

Renegar GolfEquipment isn’t usually a topic here, but this new wedge concept warrants exception because it’s not being seen elsewhere. It’s designed for better players, is truly unique, and it makes ‘physics sense’: a sand wedge series with a lowered leading edge like a regular iron, but with even more bounce when you need it. Forget the Sarazen design and different ‘grinds’ to compensate for it; instead, check out these patented, sharp-looking wedge designs from Renegar Golf.

Mayor Telling ‘Whoppers’ in Ohio EPA Application to Justify Aurora Golf Club Purchase

The City of Aurora has submitted their outline to the Ohio EPA to provide justification for the funding of the purchase of the Aurora Golf Club.

Heisler says two big lies are incredibly easy to spot.

EDITORIAL: Time for a New and Improved “Cup”?

Allen FreemanPerhaps it’s time for Northeast Ohio tournament players to examine a different kind of charity “Cup” that moves past the dated ‘public vs. private’ concept and creates a better team competition for an improved donation amount.

The idea of teams made up of players coming from either public or private courses stopped being relevant when the economy hit the skids — not the recent financial slowdowns, mind you, but the one ten years back in 2002.

Those early ‘ought’ years turned the golf business on its head for good and changed where most golf was played, how golf was paid for (and written off), and what it meant to be a member at many clubs.

So why is the area’s most recognizable competitive charity golf event — which, to be candid, has lagged in interest and donations the last few years — still using the contrived formula of ‘public vs. private’?

Let’s kick around another idea that might improve the interest level, the media coverage, and the amount of money donated to a worthy cause.
