All Good LPGA Venue News...
/First there was the expected announcement of Des Moines CC getting the 2017 Solheim Cup (to great fanfare).
And now Beth Ann Baldry reports a likely event in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 2014 at Blythefield CC and possibly a September stop on Nantucket.
Blythefield opened in 1929 and hosted the 1953 Western Amateur, 1961 Western Open and 2005 Western Junior. Dale Morey, Arnold Palmer and Rickie Fowler won those three events, respectively.
Another possibility for 2014 comes as a bit of a shock: Nantucket. There’s an island few LPGA insiders would’ve considered. But hey, no complaints here. September in Nantucket, a.k.a. "Shoulder Season," means 70-degree temps and lower prices.
Miacomet Golf Club, the island’s only public facility, would be the future site.
