Final go-round for Couples on PGA Tour

Fred Couples wades in no angst about his impending career decision. Many of his golfing colleagues, including good friend Jay Haas, bounced back and forth between the PGA Tour and Champions Tour when they turned 50, unable to choose between challenging the big boys and playing against golfers their own age (or older).  Couples, conveniently, found an ideal bridge from one phase of his career to the next. He will turn 50 on Oct. 3 and then, five days later, he will captain the U.S. team in the Presidents Cup at Harding Park. The day after that event ends, Couples plans to join Haas on a flight from San Francisco to Houston, where he will make his Champions Tour debut on Oct. 16.  Read More.


Northwest Golf: Sahalee finding needed support for Senior Open

SAMMAMISH -- The PGA of America had a convenient excuse for awarding and stripping Sahalee Country Club of the 2010 PGA Championship.  The competition for corporate sponsorships with Vancouver's Winter Olympics that same year would be far too stiff, since-retired PGA chief executive officer Jim Awtrey insisted, and the event was relocated to Wisconsin's Whistling Straits.  Twenty-one months from fulfilling that tee time, Sahalee has lined up the U.S. Senior Open as a replacement event and hasn't faced any extra hurdles in promoting it outside of a challenging economy.  Read More.

Thank you Sahalee:

The Northwest has become a popular venue for USGA Championships in the last decade. Read more.
