Summer is here, the weather is heating up and so is golf in our area.
A course I played a lot when I started playing golf in my early twenties was Galloping Hill in Kenilworth. It was a pretty beat up 27-hole facility that was always wet and had a fun par three course as well. But it has now been transformed into a championship 18-hole course, with a state-of-the-art club house and a top-notch driving range and learning facility. Located right off of the Parkway at exit 138 it is also home to the New Jersey State Golf Association. It is a “Must Play” for all golfers.
Golf Course Architect Stephen Kay is responsible for some of the best public golf courses that have opened in New Jersey over the last 30 years. Along with numerous restoration projects he has improved the game of golf for all of us. He’s one of the most knowledgeable guys in turf and architecture. New Jersey, one of the original, and main, birthplaces of the Game of Golf, has had many of the Game’s greatest golf course architects build courses here, and Stephen Kay is one of the very best to do so.
If you are looking to do some traveling to play, two destinations you should look into are Landsdowne Resort in Leesburg Virginia and Tidewater Golf Club in Myrtle Beach South Carolina. Both are spectacular.
Want to try something fun and different, remote controlled golf caddies are all the rage and Stewart Golf is the industry leader.
As a business owner and an entrepreneur in the vigorous environment of sports, particularly golf, Rich LaBar has found his passion and established his golf family. As the CEO and founder of LaBar Golf, a highly esteemed golf course construction, renovation, and irrigation company based in New Jersey, LaBar’s journey to success is largely attributed to the art of relationship building and the impact of positive leadership.
Here’s to nothing but Fairway and Greens!!
