The scientific community has found another arrow in its quiver to fire at golf. A recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association indicates a link between increased incidence of Parkinson’s disease and living near a golf course. According to the study, people who live within three miles of a golf course showed a greater risk of contracting Parkinson’s disease than those outside that three-mile arc. Those living within a mile of a golf facility faced a 126 percent greater chance of getting the disease than those who lived at least six miles from a course. Although the study indicates a possible link between golf course management practices and the likelihood of contracting Parkinson’s disease, it does not and cannot prove a direct cause and effect. Limitations of the study include: Limited geographic context Limited demographics Does not account for surface water drinking sources Does not account for changes in golf course management practices Does not account for other factors that play a role in causing Parkinson’s disease Does not account for other impurities in drinking water supplies The study indicates that those who shared a groundwater source with a golf course had a 96 percent greater chance of getting Parkinson's disease, compared with those who did not, and a 49 percent greater chance compared with those whose water came from private wells. The study was based on residence and health records of more than 400 participants in the Rochester Epidemiology Project from 1991-2015. Data were analyzed in the summer of 2024, and the findings published May 5 in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The Rochester Epidemiology Project is a collaborative effort of clinics, hospitals and medical facilities in Minnesota and Wisconsin that have agreed to share medical records for research purposes. That list of facilities includes the Mayo Clinic, Olmstead Medical Center and Zumbro Valley Health Center. Authors of the study included researchers from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Rush University Medical Center in Chicago and the University of Rochester in New York. There are several factors this study fails to account for. Among those factors is the limited geographic and demographic context of the research that was limited to a largely caucasian population in parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin only. It also is unable to reliably account for changes of residence three years before onset of Parkinson’s was detected. The study also fails to account for other factors that contribute to Parkinson’s disease — such as genetics — that can take decades to manifest. Golf course superintendents have proven time and again to be good stewards of the environment, and as such much has changed in the way they manage golf courses since 1991 (the first year of data in the study). Many products that were common 35 years ago have since been banned and/or replaced by safer products with lower use rates, changes researchers were unable to factor into their findings. Most notably, the study does not account for the fact that most golf courses are by their nature located near population centers and that there are other impurities found in municipal drinking water supplies that come from many other sources than golf courses. The Rochester team that conducted this study says it next plans to seek more information on the threat of Parkinson's disease by analyzing health records for 22 million people on Medicare and data from "about 16,000 golf courses," which sounds like all of them. No word yet on whether the expanded study will include effects of other contaminants from sources like agriculture runoff, industrial plants, landfills, underground fuel-storage tanks and sewage dumps, or how things like lead and microplastics get into the water system. People in golf should be accustomed to singularly focused attacks by now. Just know that there are more coming.

Now, we’re entering an exciting phase of transformation. Our South Course is transitioning to a private model, while the North Course will remain a public facility, giving us a unique and dynamic position in the Houston golf market.

“The gem in your backyard” The Evans at Canal Shores is a not-for-profit golf facility that is totally funded by private donations. The formerly named Canal Shores opened in 1919 and was designed by prolific golf course architect Tom Bendelow. The 3,600-yard, par-60 layout has undeniable charm and just enough challenge. Dubbed “the gem in your backyard,” the course winds through urban and suburban neighborhoods along the North Shore branch of the Chicago River. Golfers play through a 100-year-old oak forest alongside Chicago’s “L” and Metra train tracks, traverse several road crossings, and are treated to beautiful views of the Bahá’í House of Worship, which creates a golf experience unlike any other. The golf course renovation, which started in 2022 and is led by architect Todd Quitno, is the modernization and reimagination of the urban golf course. Located alongside the North Shore Canal which feeds into the Chicago River, The Evans at Canal Shores will serve as a beacon for youth golf development and a youth caddie training facility through partnerships with the First Tee – Greater Chicago and the Western Golf Association/Evans Scholars Foundation. The new name represents a deep connection to the namesake of the Evans Scholars Foundation, Chick Evans, who attended high school in Evanston and became one of the greatest amateur golfers of all time. Instead of turning professional, Evans worked with the Western Golf Association to use the earnings from his golf career to establish the Evans Scholars Foundation in 1930. To date, the Foundation has awarded full tuition and college scholarships to more than 13,000 youth caddies, including the 1,130 Evans Scholars enrolled in 24 leading universities nationwide this year. The Evans at Canal Shores is located less than a mile from the first Evans Scholarship House, established in 1940 on the campus of Northwestern University. Position Summary: Responsible for all activities related to the care and maintenance of the golf course, grounds, and equipment. Plan and implement budgets. Hire, train and supervise staff. Apply relevant landscaping, horticultural principles to assure that quality standards are consistently achieved and/or exceeded. Essential Duties and Responsibilities: Develop the annual maintenance budget and operating plan. Implement the plan according to Company operating policies and procedures to ensure cost containment.

A rendering of the new short course and putting course to be built at BallenIsles Country Club in Palm Beach Gardens. BallenIsles CC image The one-time home of the PGA of America is growing. BallenIsles Country Club in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, is adding a new 10-hole short course and a putting course, both of which will be designed by golf course architect Rees Jones. With holes ranging in length from 80 yards to 160 yards and a nine-hole putting course covering a combined 4 acres, the $6 million project is scheduled to open in fall 2026, according to BallenIsles. "We are so proud of the work Rees Jones and Bryce Swanson did with us (on the South Course) in 2019 that we could not wait for the opportunity to work with them again," Jeff Fitzherbert, BallenIsles director of golf, said. "We are eager to get to work and see what the Rees Jones design team will come up this time." The East Course at BallenIsles Country Club, No. 14 shown here, was the site of the 1971 PGA Championship when the facility was known as PGA National Golf Club. BallenIsles photo The 54-hole BallenIsles was developed in 1964 as PGA National Golf Club by entrepreneur and philanthropist John D. MacArthur, who also is credited with developing and naming Palm Beach Gardens five years earlier in 1959. The club's East and North courses, both designed by Dick Wilson and Joe Lee, opened in 1964. The East Course was the one-time home of the PGA Tour Qualifying School, and Jack Nicklaus won the 1971 PGA Championship there. Rees Jones most recently renovated the Wilson/Lee-designed South Course in 2019. Wilson was the architect of other notable South Florida designs like Pine Tree in Boynton Beach and the Blue Course at Trump Doral in Miami. Lee is credited with more than 100 designs worldwide, including dozens in Florida. When the PGA of America moved across Florida's Turnpike in 1973, its former home was renamed JDM Country Club in MacArthur's honor. It remained JDM until 1988 when the foundation bearing MacArthur's name sold the property that was renamed BallenIsles Country Club. The PGA of America moved its headquarters from Palm Beach Gardens in 2022 to Frisco, Texas.
