Sadly, an Arthur Hills “links” style course here in Salt Lake looks to be closing at the end of this season.  I could go into the politics of why this is happening, and talk about mismanagement and all that, but I’ll just say that we have a lot of new bike trails in town now.

I played Wingpointe a few days ago and the greens were as good as ever.  Unfortunately the fairways are not that great and the only good lie a player is guaranteed is on the tee.  But that’s the nature of the beast when you are on soil full of salt from the Great Salt Lake.

That round a few days ago might be my last there.  As much as I love the design and the greens, the whole experience is tainted by the poor fairways.

I have many great memories at Wingpointe, like the time I shot 31-41 for a very irritating 72.  Won a tournament there too a couple of years ago.

Sad to see this course closing.  It won’t be the last golf course closure here in Salt Lake I’m afraid.

Bye wingy.
