Tour Report with PROTOCONCEPT - VOL.43

The Korn Ferry Memorial Health Championship is held at Panther Creek Country Club in
Springfield, IL.

This is the 11th time this tournament has been played here. Panther Creek’s 7,258-yard par 71 layout is pretty straight forward and has given up a few sub 60 rounds in its history.

Scores will be low this week, so look for the winner to be near 20 under par.

This is the 15th event of the season, and with only six more events before the final 4 playoff events, players are starting to focus on what it will take to make those playoffs.

As busy as the range was this week, I didn’t see very much equipment or shaft testing going on. “Panic searching” is still a couple weeks away for most players.

Mitchell Miessner will be our only active ambassador this week.

His C01.5TH #4 should be a go to club on a number of holes this week. He received the irons I sent him last week and said they are good, but needs more time to test and become comfortable with them.

This late in the season, and with his solid point total to make the playoffs, I don’t think he will make a major change like that until the off season. Of course, he could surprise me one week and show up with them in the bag.

Time will tell.

Up Next: I’m off as both the LPGA and Korn Ferry do not have tournaments scheduled. My next event will be the Korn Ferry Blue Championship in Berthoud, CO.

Have a wonderful 4th of July.
