Ridgewood 1, Westchester 0

Posted at 11:50 AM by Alan Bastable | Categories: Barclays , Phil Mickelson

Ridgewood Country Club, site of this week’s Barclays Classic, looks a lot like Westchester Country Club, site of last year’s (and perhaps future) Barclays. Both have swooping greens, doglegs and narrow fairways shaded by towering trees — typical Northeast stuff.

But Ridgewood apparently has something its New York counterpart doesn’t. “I like Westchester,” Phil Mickelson said yesterday at the Barclays. “I think it's a great golf course. I do feel as though Ridgewood is a step up in quality.”

Oh, snap! Wait 'til the folks at Westchester catch wind of this …

I just read that article about the TOUR pulling out of Westchester. Those members and the club management sound like a bunch of conniving sleazes. It seems the only good thing about a private club is the course. Who would want to rub elbows with those kind of people day in, day out? They sound miserable.
