Here at Whistling Straits
The weather has been delightful since I arrived – light rain in the morning giving way to clear, sunny skies and temps in the mid-80′s by afternoon. Wonderful golf weather to set the stage for the 2010 PGA Championship.
The Straits course appears to be in great shape. In case you’ve never been here, this flagship of the Kohler Resort courses is a Pete Dye masterpiece of links-style design – over 7,500 yards of dunes, pot bunkers and rolling greens set along two miles of Lake Michigan shoreline. This year I’ve brought images of #7 and #17, perhaps two of the most beautiful and challenging par-3 holes the players face all season.
Who will hoist the Wanamaker Trophy on Sunday? That remains to be seen, but I know this year’s PGA Championship will be fun to watch, and I certainly look forward to watching in the air-conditioned merchandise tent, where I’ll be signing prints and shaking hands with as many Stonehouse fans as possible. If you’re coming up, I invite you to stop by.
