Morning Quick Links


1) Rory, Rory, Rory

Many a golf tournament was played over the weekend but the biggest news seems to be the health of Rory. Check out Shack's round-up here.

2) New Callaway Balls

What I find most interesting about this latest news is how much Callaway is flogging the various price points of their new balls. I imagine this is in direct response to the Kirkland ball.

3) Management Issues

Like many industries in modern life, golf courses aren't just owned by a longtime fan of the game but could be owned/managed by a national company. Troon, Kemper Sports, American Golf, etc. Some are doing better than others. Club Corp? Not so much.
