Mickelson timed his gift well, handing Barkley the balls while the “Inside the… Source link

The PGA TOUR makes a pitstop at Memorial Park Golf Course this week for the Vivint Houston Open.  Memorial Park was freshly renovated over the last two years and it’s ready for the challenge of hosting a big event.

Three par 5s should provide more scoring chances than a typical par-70 layout. Par 5s typically… Source link
