• Hitting the Links with John Mahaffey : From Songdo, South Korea! September 14, 2011

  New post from Weekend of Jazz Celebrity Golf Outing Host John Mahaffey!:

  "Just arrived in Songdo, South Korea for the next venue on The Champions Tour. Looks so far that the weather may actually cooperate this year. Talked with some of the Charles Schwab Cup leaders ( Lehman, Calcaveccia, Cook, O'Meara ) on the flight over and they are all jacked about these final (5) events at the end of the year. The Schwab Cup is a year long competition with points awarded for top "10" finishes each week and the race has become very close this year with Lehman leading by less than 500 points. Should be quite a finish.
  
  As usual when pros get together the subject came up concerning Tiger and his future. Almost to the man, the Champion's Tour players in the field at Songdo believe that Tiger is not done citing his incredible  talent, his record, and his recovery from recent surguries as the contributing factors. I agree but also would add that time may be somewhat against him as far as bettering Jack Nicklaus' major record; but, it is time that is necessary to recoup the mental side of his life if he is to challege that record. More from South Korea soon." - John Mahaffey
  
  Part 2 | 9/16/11:
  
  "Hey everyone--things are going great here in South Korea. Had a chance to visit with Jack Nicklaus (the designer of the course here in Songdo) on his visit here this week. He is very upbeat and excited about this course and the new ones he is building all around Asia. Jack and I have played a lot of golf over the years and it is great to share memories with the best. Looks like we are in for a treat this weekend as we have a world class leaderboard with the likes of Calcavecchia, O'Meara, Watson, Cook, and more all in position to win one of the largest purses on the Champion's Tour. More to come!" - John Mahaffey

  

• Hitting the Links with John Mahaffey September 12, 2011

  We're thrilled to announce that former PGA Champion and Golf Commentator John Mahaffey will be returning to Weekend of Jazz at Kiawah Island to host his Celebrity Golf Outing, exclusive to Weekend of Jazz package guests!

  This fall, we'll be catching up with John as he travels with the Champions Tour.  Welcome to our 2011 edition of "Hitting the Links" with John Mahaffey! 
  
  "Really looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones at this year's WOJ Kiawah! Over the next few weeks I'll be posting updates and comments from different venues on the Champions Tour including one of our newest in Songdo, South Korea, September 16-18. Check in to see what's going on!" - John Mahaffey
  
  On Fred Couples:
  "We saw Fred Couples win his first Senior Major at the Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship -- I spoke with Fred and I haven't seen him this excited about his game in years!" - John Mahaffey
   
  On Mark Calcavecchia's victory on the Champions tour
  "A frustrated Mark Calcavecchia finally broke through on the Champions Tour and won a tournament. He told me earlier this year that he was upset he couldn't finish off a golf tournament--he can't say that anymore!  Obviously it took Calc longer to win his first event than he anticipated just proving how competitive the Champions Tour can be." - John Mahaffey
