A hub of Championship golf!

Another day...another big Championship coming to one of our Member Clubs...yawn.

Just kidding, this is super exciting! Today, the USGA announced that Salem Country Club will host the 2017 U.S. Senior Open Championship. So we got 2013 U.S. Amateur, 2015 (and 2016...and hopefully longer) Constellation Senior Players Championship, 2016 U.S. Senior Women's Amateur, 2017 U.S. Senior Open, and of course the Deutsche Bank Championship every Labor Day weekend...

Not bad for a small state that only gets six good golfing months per year if we're lucky! This latest announcement really speaks to the strength of not only the golf courses in Massachusetts, but also the fantastic golf community we have. Massachusetts is a great state for golf!

Read a great article by the Globe's Mike Whitmer about the announcement

Which of course, circles back to our big announcement from last week regarding the release of our Economic Impact Report. See, everything ties together. Golf continues to have a huge effect on not only the state economy but also, in a more specific sense, the local economies surrounding Championship host sites.

Be sure to check out the dedicated website we've created for the Economic Impact Report
