The Golfers Journal No. 26

A mystical 12-holer in the California desert. Six undiscovered Irish gems. A crusty miniature golf course from the Eisenhower era. Seminole. No matter the course, the love of the game flows through No. 26. We see it at Lancaster, which went from disrepair to a major home for the women’s game, and in the remarkable journey of Cal Club’s immigrant superintendent. It’s in abundance on the hardy NYC public scene and preserved forever on Tillinghast’s classic at Somerset Hills. And it’s summed up in a hilarious Phil Mickelson yarn that, like the adventures within, cannot be missed.
