The first World Golf Championship of the 12 months takes location with the Tour making a prevent at Club de Golf Chapultepec in Naucalpan, Mexico. This is the second yr in a row they have performed the occasion at Mexico because it changed into previously a prevent at Doral.
Thus far the path has gotten plenty of reward, specifically over Doral wherein gamers did not care too much for the Gil Hanse renovations. Chapultepec turned into designed through former US Open winner, Willie Smith. Smith moved to Mexico in 1904 to be a golfing pro and was later injured within the Mexican Revolution as he refused to go away his publish (https://www.Geoffshackelford.Com/homepage/2017/2/27/welcome-wgc-mexico-citys-club-de-chapultepec.Html)
Smith surpassed away in 1914 as the course design turned into not completed. His brother, Alex, finished the layout in 1921.
There?S a remarkable story approximately how the professionals are speeding to their launch monitors due the acute altitudes at Chapultepec that can be found right here:

A lot of this jogs my memory of Castle Pines which was one of the great publications on Tour with its antique school design and excessive elevations.
Anyway, remaining year?S facts shows that the direction was very much a protracted technique and high-quality driving path, so that is the golfers I?M most interested in.
