To cap off the month of August the Wisconsin PGA brought together another sold-out field for the Summer Pro-Ladies. This year’s version would venture to Racine Country Club on Monday. The event got off to a bumpy start as severe weather rolled into the area shortly after the start of play. The saying “all’s well that ends well” summed up the day just fine. After an hour and half delay play would resume and eventually the field would be greeted with partly sunny skies for the remainder of their round.

The WPGA Stableford Classic was back on the schedule Tuesday, after a successful debut in 2021. Another exciting day of golf was on tap, as the players would look to ratchet up their aggressive play with the stableford format. Playing host to this year’s event was Old Hickory GC in Beaver Dam. The old-school course would be the ideal host, with plenty of birdies and eagles available throughout.

It always seems to come down to the short game when Wisconsin’s biggest golf tournaments are held at Ozaukee CC in Mequon, a woodsy 100-year-old golf course known its slick, contoured putting surfaces. Those green complexes went a long way toward determining another champion this week at Ozaukee CC, where Daniel Mazziotta won the Wisconsin State Open in a three-hole sudden-death playoff Wednesday evening after the sun had already set.

After just about the three months of action the WPGA Match Play Championship would come to a close on Monday. Kicking off in early May with two days of play, the remaining foursome would return to close things out at the site where the journey began. Monday’s play would feature the semifinals in the morning and the final match around lunch time.

It was another great day for golf as the Wisconsin PGA four-player pro-am series made its annual stop at Destination Kohler on Monday. This year’s event would bring together 29 teams to enjoy the always fun and challenging Irish Course at Whistling Straits. It would mark the fourth year in the past nine that the Pete Dye design has hosted a Wisconsin PGA pro-am.
