PUBLISHER'S WELCOME Welcome to a new golf season, and our 2021 GOLF NOW! Chicago, Chicagoland's Premier Golf Destination Guide. We know that 2020 was a year unlike any other and we all faced many challenges and changes to our daily lives. However, golf survived, even thrived, as so many new golfers hit the links this past year. Golf swings into spring as The Evans Scholars Invitational returns to The Glen Club this season on May 26--30. Watch golf's next generation of stars tee it up, along with 2020 Evans Scholars Champion, Curtis Thompson, as he defends his title. Enjoy complimentary daily grounds admission as a result of SERVPRO of Glenview's generous sponsorship! The 2020 Ryder Cup was moved to 2021 and will now be contested on September 21--26 at Whistling Straits in Kohler, WI. Emotions and excitement will run high as golf and sports enthusiasts cheer for their country, the world's best professional golfers, and to show support for Team USA or Team Europe. GolfVisions Management, Inc. is extremely excited this year as they celebrate their 20-year anniversary in the golf industry. Managing and operating 15 Chicagoland golf course facilities, this family-owned and operated company knows the secret to success and the true meaning of "We Are Family"! We were given a sneak preview of the newest Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course in Grand Haven, Michigan this past September. A course unlike any other, The American Dunes Golf Club plans to open in May of this year and all proceeds will benefit the Folds Of Honor recipients and their families. Also, a top spot on our list is an annual trip to the amazing French Lick Resort to play the Donald Ross Course and The Pete Dye Course. Both are must plays and two of our favorite courses! Lastly, keep calm and golf on!
