Tiger Woods and the fight with his body, his game and his motivation

Preparing is harder. Tiger Woods' body doesn't always respond, which makes it more difficult to find the motivation to put in the required work. So, what's left and what does he still want?

Ball Lab – OnCore ELIXR Golf Ball Review

MyGolfSpy Ball Lab is where we quantify the quality and consistency of the golf balls on the market to help you find the best ball for your money. Today, we’re taking a look at the OnCore ELIXR. An overview of the equipment we use can be found here. To learn more about our test process, how we define “bad” balls and our True Price metric, check out our About MyGolfSpy Ball Lab page.

The ELIXR is the first urethane-covered ball from Buffalo, N.Y.-based OnCore. The company is perhaps still best known for its original metal core MA-1 golf ball. OnCore has since expanded to a full-line ball company (offering both urethane and Surlyn models) but its eyes are trained on the future. Development of its Genius Smart Golf ball is ongoing as are plans to open a large-scale sports complex in Buffalo.

While we wait for those plans to come together, let’s take a closer look at the ELIXR.

President-Elect Joe Biden's Home Course Lands Delaware's First-Ever PGA Tour Event (And It's A Playoff Stop!)

Not only will the 2022 BMW be Delaware’s first-ever PGA Tour event it’ll be staged at Wilmington Country Club, home club since 2014 of President-elect Joe Biden.

From Brian Wacker’s GolfDigest.com story on the news of Wilmington’s Robert Trent Jones-designed South Course hosting the second-playoff stop.

While this is Wilmington C.C.’s first pro tournament, the club has played host to several top amateur events since its founding in 1901. Among the notables are the 1971 U.S. Amateur, played on the Robert Trent Jones-designed South Course and won by Canada’s Gary Cowen, and the 1913 U.S. Women’s Amateur on the property’s Old Course when Gladys Ravenscroft was the champion. The 2013 Palmer Cup was also held on the South Course, with a United States team that included Justin Thomas, Daniel Berger and Patrick Rodgers.

The bit of bad news: this means the PGA Tour’s bizarre relationship with the golf-mad Chicago market continues, with 2021’s BMW at Caves Valley (Maryland) and now Wilmington in 2022. The former Western Open has mostly been played in Chicago but has moved around.
