The Tour comes to Ohio for 41st Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village.
The greater Columbus region is in which Nicklaus became born, raised, found out the game of golf, went to university, and commenced his own family. It was his vision to create a golf club that embodied his personal and professional lifestyles and to create a golf match that would long represent his ardour for tournament golfing, and would give returned to a community that has embraced him and the sport. This became fulfilled in May 1976 with the primary Memorial Tournament, years to the day after the path opened at Muirfield Village. The par-72 direction turned into set at 7,072 yards (6,467 m),[5] a large period for the mid-Nineteen Seventies.
Nicklaus signaled his intent to host his own tournament during Masters Week in 1966, when he spoke of his desire to create a tournament that, like The Masters, had a global interest, and was inspired by the history and traditions of the game of golf. He also wanted the tournament to give back in the form of charitable contributions to organizations benefiting needy adults and children throughout Columbus and Ohio. The primary charitable beneficiary of the tournament is Nationwide Children's Hospital. (credit Wikipedia.org)
Muirfield Village is a pretty smooth driving course and definitely stresses approach pictures and quick sport shots around the inexperienced. Lots of veggies are neglected because of technique pictures missing their mark and the areas around the green are very test to save par. It?S a massive cause why Tiger Woods received right here 4 times because the using wasn?T overly tough and he was the first-class iron participant in the international with a top notch quick sport.
Overall, the direction is nicely appreciated with the aid of Tour players. Outside of the players that could?T crack an egg at the route (there?S usually going to be the ones), they rave approximately the conditions and generally like the layout.
I suppose it?S an exciting design statistically because it permits many distinct styles of play to compete. The long bomber that?S a bit wild off the tee can contend here because they are able to hit their drives towards the hollow to depart themselves with a few simpler technique photographs. The specific ballstriker can win right here via advanced iron play. And the shorter hitting however top short game player can win here if their iron play is quite exact, they make some putts and that they make those important saves once they leave out the green.
