The Charles Schwab Cup Championship is the final event of the season on the US-based PGA Tour Champions. It is the leading golf tour for male professionals aged 50 and above. It was great fun to see Ernie Els, Miguel Jimenez, and Padraig Harrington in person. And then, of course, seeing Steven Alker hang on to win was very exciting. @tabadaletravels @pgatourchampions @phxcountryclub @schwabcupfinale #winnerscircle #professionalgolfers #padraigharrington #ernieels #migueljimenez ...

Steven Alker, who hails from New Zealand, pulled off the win at Phoenix Country Club, and he will take home the trophy for the Charles Schwab Cup Championship. Alker has been playing on the PGA Tour Champions where he has won seven times.

These are the trophies for the 2023 Charles Schwab Cup Championship held at Phoenix Country Club. This photo taken by a Golfweek-USA Today photographer is so much more beautiful than my own, which were taken inside the clubhouse before the conclusion of the tournament. @tabadaletravels @schwabcupfinale @phxcountryclub #golf #professionalgolf #trophies #golftrophies #golftournament #sunshine #desertgolf #classicgolfcourses ...

Padraig Harrington is near top of the leaderboard at the Schwab Cup at Phoenix Country Club on the 17th green. Hoping he can close with a couple of birdies! @tabadaletravels @charlesschwab @phxcountryclub #golf #progolf #seniortour #championstour ...

Ernie Els on the 9th green at Phoenix Country Club during the final of the Schwab Cup. I’m proud to say I have profiled Ernie Els for the Terroir of Golf book and he is in the chapter called Professional Golfers With Their Own Wine Label. All profits go to Els for Autism. @tabadaletravels @schwabcupfinale @phxcountryclub #ernieels #ernieelsgolf #elsforautism #golf #professionalgolf ...

Padraig Harrington getting ready to tee off on the par-3 13th on the final of the Schwab Cup. Glad I could send a photo to Debbie Waitkus to honor the 13 Founders of the LPGA. @tabadaletravels @schwabcupfinale @phxcountryclub #golf #progolfer #padraigharrington #tournamentgolf ...

Padraig Harrington just a couple of shots off the lead at Phoenix Country Club at the Schwab Cup in the 3rd round. He is in a spot of bother off the 14th tee. Trying to figure out if he should get relief. @tabadaletravels @schwabcupfinale @phxcountryclub ...

What a great GHS convention we experienced in Lexington KY. I thank my lucky stars to have become part of this organization full of golf memorabilia collectors, historians, hickory players and writers. I hope some people who couldn’t make it to Lexington will start planning now to participate in the 2024 convention in Pinehurst! @tabadaletravels @golfheritagesociety #lexingtonkentucky #pinehurst #villageofpinehurst #golf #golfcollectors #golfmemorabilia #historians #golfhistory #golfwriter ...

Bob Hansen, longtime member of the Golf Heritage Society,and resident of Pinehurst, shared just a fraction of what he knows about golf history and collecting rare and important items from golf’s rich past. Bob can often be found at the Old Golf Shop in the heart of the Village of Pinehurst, where you will find yourself immersed in the fascinating world of golf collecting. @tabadaletravels @golfheritagesociety #golf #golfhistory #golfcollecting #lexingtonkentucky @vopnc #pinehurst #pinehurstnc #raregolf #raregolfbooks #raregolfclubs #golfcollection ...

Brad Baird explains some of the finer points about hickory clubs, especially the antique ones made mostly in Scotland, that were first made by bow and spear makers. Other woods, like ash, were also used for making shafts of antique clubs. Members of the Golf Heritage Society, like Brad, love sharing their knowledge and passion for the game. @tabadaletravels @golfheritagesociety #lexingtonkentucky #sharing #teaching #golf #golfhistory #antiques #antiqueclubs #hickory #hickoryclubs #clubmakers #golfsociety @societyofhickorygolfers ...

Our final speaker at the Golf Heritage Society evening at Lexington Country Club was Stuart Bendelow, grandson of the course designer, Tom Bendelow (1868-1936). Tom was born In Aberdeen, Scotland and he came to America in 1892. His knowledge of golf led to him designing courses - hundreds of them - including Olympia, Medinah and East Lake. Stuart has spent years documenting his grandfather and the many courses he designed, leading to him becoming known as the “Johnny Appleseed of American Golf.” @tabadaletravels @golfheritagesociety @lexingtoncountryclub #golf #golfarchitecture #bendelowcourse #americangolf #historicgolf #historicgolfcourses #aberdeenscotland #golfdesign ...

The next speaker at our Golf Heritage Society evening at Lexington Country Club was Bob Boring. He regaled us with stories about Lexington-born Gay Brewer, who won the Masters in 1967. Bob Boring was caddying for Gay Brewer when he won by a shot over Bobby Nichols. Bob was also a clubmaker, and it was Bob who had to restore clubs that Gay would tinker with and sometimes mess up! @tabadaletravels @lexingtoncountryclub #golf #lexingtonkentucky #gaybrewer #caddy #caddie #clubmaker @themasters ...

Beverly Bell, who wrote the book “ The Murder of Marion Miley” presented the story of how two men bungled the robbery that left Marion and her mother dead by gunshot wounds. They lived at Lexington Country Club in an apartment upstairs in the clubhouse. Marion played in 41 major golf tournaments from 1931 to 1940, winning 22. Miley played for the United States in the Curtis Cup in 1924, 1936, and 1938. The following year she was ranked first in the United States. @tabadaletravels #marionmiley #beverlybell @lexingtoncountryclub_ky #amateurgolfer @curtiscup #golf #golfbook #golfauthor ...

The Golf Heritage Society was welcomed at Lexington Country Club where super star amateur golfer, Marion Miley lived with her mother.

The USGA museum has many treasures like this T. Stewart Niblick made in St Andrews, Scotland, owned by John Fischer who won the U. S. Amateur golf tournament in 1936. It was quite a battle with Jack McLean, a star of the Scotland Walker Cup team. @tabadaletravels @usga #niblick #walkercup #johnfischer #jackmclean #scottishgolfer #usamateur #usamateurchampionship ...

Our esteemed GHS past president, Jim Jeselnick, asks us all to give a big round of applause for Stacy Schiff and Victoria Nenno during our National Convention in Lexington, KY. @tabadaletravels @golfheritagesociety @usga #golfhistory #golf #golfmuseums #lexington #lexingtonkentucky ...
