TopGolf has officially marked a location in Renton and offered an application to city plan-ners. A land-use notice has gone up at 745 Park Ave. N., indicating the spot for a new 14-acre TopGolf, a high-tech golf driving range facility. The land-use notice states construction is expected to be complete in 2021. The location will be a full-size range, which includes climate-controlled hitting bays, a physi-cal range and technology that shows the flight path of golf shots. Preliminary site plans show 102 hitting bays in the driving range and 464 parking stalls. Preliminary site plans show a mixed-use parcel to be incorporated in the development, which is in an empty parcel, across the from LA Renton, Wash. is expected to be the home for another TopGolf location in the Pacific Northwest.

Fitness at the Landing and Boeing facilities. The Boeing facility on that block will remain, from the look of the site plan. TopGolf applied for a location in Tacoma in 2018, and recently announced a TopGolf lounge in Kirkland. The company currently has 52 loca-tions, according to its website, and receives over 13 million guests annually. TopGolf has already hit the Pacific Northwest with a facility in Hillsboro Oregon, right along Highway 26 on the way to the Oregon Coast. What makes TopGolf a hit with golfers and non-golfers is the chance to hit golf balls into targets - and at night the targets are lit up. There is also a food and beverage component that is part of Top-Golf where golfers can eat and drink while they play the games.

Team WSGA comes from behind Team WSGA mounted a comeback in today’s Singles matches to win the 14th Annual PNGA Cup, held at the Crosswater Club in Sunriver, Ore. This is the third title for Team WSGA in the 14-year history of the matches, which is a Ryder Cup-style competition featuring the finest 48 amateur golfers among the four allied golf associations that comprise the Pacific Northwest Golf Association – the Idaho Golf Association, Oregon Golf Association, Washington State Golf Association, and British Columbia Golf. Finishing second was Team OGA with 14.5 points, while Team IGA finished with 9 points, and Team BC Golf finished with 8.5 points. Team WSGA entered the day in second place, 1.5 points back of team OGA, and earned a whopping 8.5 points out of a possible 12 in the Singles matches.

Golf’s new World Handicap System, which is de-signed to bring the game of golf under a single set of Rules for handicapping and provide a more consistent measure of players’ ability between different regions of the world, remains on track for implementation starting in 2020. Education has begun with events being held in Singapore, South Africa, Great Britain and Ireland, Japan, Argentina, Brazil, Continental Europe, Canada, the Caribbean and the USA. A secure resource portal, accessible via whs.com, has also been launched to provide national associations with a library of materials that they can use to help support their own education efforts. While many countries will be ready to transition to the WHS early in 2020, given both the magnitude of the change for some jurisdictions and varying seasonality throughout the world, it is anticipated that some will need more time. Martin Slumbers, chief executive of The R&A, said, “There are many ways in which it is important for golf to modernize and become more appealing for people thinking of taking up the sport and handicapping is clearly one of them. The World Handicap System is a major new initiative for the sport which will establish a clearer and more consistent handicapping process for golfers throughout the world.” The World Handicap System will unite the golf world under one single set of handicapping rules and will be governed by the USGA and The R&A, with support from the existing six handicap authorities.

Bandon milestone: Bandon DunesResort turns 20 years old this year

•Page5• • In tHe neWs ••InsideGolf-JuneIssue2019•

The views are always spectacular at Bandon Dunes on the Oregon Coast, which turns 20 years old this year.

Co-founded by Phil Friedmann and Mike Keiser, the Bally Bandon Sheep Ranch has for many years been a mysterious golf landscape on the ocean just north of Ban-don Dunes Golf Resort. Originally designed by Tom Doak in 2001 while he worked on Pacific Dunes, the property featured 13 greens without a set routing, allowing golfers to choose the next green after each hole. The concept was long thought of as a fun placeholder and will finally be upgraded for full public use as a complete 18-hole course complimenting the adjacent Bandon Dunes Resort. “It has been wonderful to have this incredibly special golf experience for so many years but now is the time to share this truly magical golfing experience with lovers of the game,” stated Friedmann. “The tradition of golf at its best will reach a new level of excellence.” Hired to design the 18-hole layout was the world-class team of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw. Bill and Ben have a long history of working with Keiser dating back to 2005 at Bandon Trails, Bandon Preserve (2012), Cabot Cliffs (2016), Sand Valley (2017), and The Sandbox, the latest par-3 design at Sand Valley Resort in 2018. What is it that keeps Mike coming back to them? “They are great listeners,” said Keiser. Coore and Crenshaw solved the riddle of the perfect routing. There are nine greens that will be perched atop the cliffs along the Pacific coastline and all 18 holes have stunning ocean views. A Par-71, 7000-yard layout with over a mile of ocean frontage will meld the perfect balance of stunning views, playability, and links golf challenges. “We are incredibly honored to have been chosen for this project by Phil and Mike,” said Bill Coore. Centered around 5-Mile Point, the Sheep Ranch is absolutely ideal for links golf. “The movement of the coastline as it bends its way toward the point will tease golfers with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, dra-matic sea stacks to the west, and the challenge of choosing your line of flight” said Coore.

Coore, Crenshaw will finishBally Bandon Sheep Ranch

More than 20 years ago, Mike Keiser had a dream when he first set his eyes on a piece of property on the Oregon Coast. He could envision golf. World-class golf. And plenty of it. What started with Bandon Dunes Golf Course 20 years ago, has now turned into mulitple golf courses turning Bandon Dunes Resort along the Southern Oregon Coast into one of the top resorts in the world. Along with the Bandon Dunes course, there is Pacific Dunes, Bandon Trails, Old Macdonald and The Preserve. Throw in the Punchbowl putting green and huge practice area and now, what will be the Bally Bandon Sheep Ranch (see story right), Bandon Dunes has something for everyone. And along the way, the resort has grown with its accommodations as well. The courses are all ranked among the best in the world. The four, Bandon Dunes, Pacific Dunes, Bandon Trails and Old Macdonald are ranked among the best anywhere and have top designed names attached to them. David McLay Kidd designed Bandon Dunes, Tom Doak penned Pacific Dunes, Gil Hanse created Old Macdonald and Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore did Bandon Trails. Crenshaw and Coore also did The Preseve, a 13-hole course. Keiser discovered the ideal property in the sand dunes near Bandon, Oregon, and then made three im-portant decisions. First, he hired friend and confidant Howard McKee to develop a land plan and work with City and County officials to move the vision forward. Second, he retained KemperSports to manage the construction phase and to assume overall manage-ment of the project when completed. Third, he hired an untested young Scotsman, Kidd, the son of the legendary head agronomist at Gleneagles in Scotland, to design the first course. He spent 18 hours a day studying the land in order to fulfill Keiser’s vision of a true links experience. Bandon Dunes opened in 1999 to unprecedented reviews.

Pacific Northwest Golf Academy offers ways to shape up your game When you walk through the front doors of the Pa-cific Northwest Golf Academy in Issaquah, it almost feels like you have taken a couple of strokes off your handicap. There are the Trackman simulators, the weights, the health center and the numerous instructors ready to take your game to the next level. Alex Dunlop has been a teaching professional in the Northwest for years, and most recently at Newcastle. But he wanted more. He wanted an indoor facility with all the bells and whistles and an outdoor place where his students can go to see the ball fly and work on short game. He has that. With his indoor facility in Issaquah and a working agreement with Newcastle, Dunlop and has his team have covered all the bases. This is golf instruction at its best. “I’ve always wanted a one-stop shop for golfers where they can get everything they need, said Dunlop, the Western Wash-ington Teacher of the Year in 2015. This is a facility loaded with everything to shave strokes off your games. The Trackman simulators give golfers and instructors

instant feedback on what is right and wrong with the swing, the Kutting Edge Fitness Center (owned by Dan Kleckner) provides the mode for flexibility and the Eastside Ideal Health Center run by Dr. Joel Southwell provides the tools to keep your body in tune with your swing. It all starts with a New Student Assessments. The two-hour package involves TPI screening for range of motion and strength, then the Trackman Combine analyzes your entire bag, results are then analyzed and a custom two-page report tells what areas of your game to tackle most and what you can do to get that handicap down and reach your personal goals. Instructors Derek Berg, Cory Mehl and Matt Fon-ner like what they see with the new technology. “It all makes teaching fun,” said Berg, a three-time NW major championship winner as an amateur. An elite junior camp with 30 golfers works weekly at the facility and the results have been terrific.For more, see www.pnwgolfacademy.com.

Bluestein is also an accomplished award winning artist/illustrator for his fine art featuring golfers Arnold Palmer, and Ben Hogan. He was a guest of Mr. Hogan in 1993, at the Colonial Golf Tournament celebrating the 40th Anniversary of his winning three of the four majors in one year.

Harold Bluestein has been a member of the Professional Golf Association (PGA)

Dan Altmayer: Vacation andretirement require strategies

Golf fitness: A simple programcould mean lower golf scores

Thelow-riskpartofyourvacationstrategymeansyouwantinvestmentsthatwon’tdropinvaluejustwhen you need to sell them to use the proceeds for your trip. However,youneedtobeawarethatthosetypesof stable-value investment vehicles likelywill notoffer much growth potential. As you may know, the investmentswith the greatest possible rewardsare also those that carry the highest degrees of risk.Yet,bystartingtoinvestearlyenoughinmoreconservativeinvestments,andputtingawaymoneyregularly, you may be able to compensate for the lack of growth opportunities. Now,let’sturntoyourothergoal–retirement.Whenyouaresavingforretirement,yourprimaryobjectiveisprettysimple:toaccumulateasmuchmoneyasyoucan.

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution –theamountofgrowthinvestmentsinyourportfolioshouldbebasedonseveralfactors,includingyourage, risk tolerance and projected retirement lifestyle. Furthermore, this percentage may need to changeovertime.Whenyou’rejuststartingoutin

Rules of the Game: Make sure youcarefully look at all your rules options

In mid-April, the Western Athletic Conference held its Women’s Golf Championship at Oakbrook GolfClubinLakewood,WA.AsamemberoftheRules team, Iwasasked tohelpaplayerwithachallenging situation on the third hole. The photos accompanying this article show the player’s situa-tion. In the first photo, you can see that the player’s ball is located next to a large tree, and between two large exposed roots. As a right-handed player, it wasgoingtobeverydifficultforhertohittheballat all with any club. Why not just scoop it out? BecauseRule10.1asaysyoumuststriketheball fairly, and not push, scrape or scoop the ball. So…whatwastheplayertodo?SheandIdis-cussedheroptionsunderRule19UnplayableBall.In addition to going back to the tee under penalty of Stroke-and-Distance,shehadtwooptions–LateralRelief,andBack-on-the-LineRelief. WithLateralRelief,shecoulddropwithintwoclub-lengths not nearer the hole. This option was not very appealingbecauseof theextent of theexposed roots near the trunk of the tree, and the overhangingtreelimbs. WithBack-on-the-LineRelief,shecouldgoback

as far as she wanted and drop. The second photo shows an area where she could drop under this op-tionandwhatherresultingsituationwouldbe.Youcan see that the player would want to hook the ball around the tree to get it up by the green. And the astutereaderwillseethatshecouldhaveasidehill lie that would help her hook the ball around that tree.Allthatsaid,sheneverreallyconsideredthisoption. So…aftersomethought…theplayerdecidedtoplaytheballasit lies.Shewasabletomake

contactwithit,butnotverygoodcontact,andtheball stayed under the tree limbs. The final result was a double-bogey six. I think thatwithBack-on-the-LineRelief, shewouldhavehadabetterchancetosaveabogeyfive. Myadvicetoplayersistoalwaystakethetimeto carefully evaluate all your relief options. TheRulesaretheretohelpyou,sousethem. GettoknowthenewRulesofGolf.You’llbeglad you did, and sorry if you don’t.

My advice to players is to always take the time to carefully evalu-ate all your relief options. the Rules are there to help you, so use them. Get to know the new Rules of Golf. you’ll be glad you did, and sorry if you don’t.
