Golf in Paradise isn’t a dream on the islands of Madeira and Mallorca

There is a misconception among many seasoned golfers that any time you find a resort location including golf among its offerings, the golf courses will be mediocre — average run of the mill courses, geared toward wannabe golfers and weekend hackers.

Storylines: Buckeyes show support, Cook named Honorary Chairman

WILL ANOTHER ALL-AMERICAN TAKE THE TITLE? — In a very improbable development last year, Daniel Summerhays became the first amateur in the history of the Nationwide Tour to win an event when he captured the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Invitational in July. Summerhays, who was coming off his senior season at BYU, was one of seven NCAA Division I First-Team All-Americans who were invited and competed in the inaugural event. This year’s college participants will have a tough act to follow. Vying for the title will be First-Team All-Americans Jonas Blixt/Florida State, Kevin Chappell/UCLA, Rickie Fowler/Oklahoma State, Rory Hie/USC, Sihwan Kim/Stanford, Jamie Lovemark/USC and Michael Thompson/Alabama. Fowler is the world’s top-ranked amateur, according to the World Amateur Golf Ranking.
