Golf World - April 30, 2012

Munys deliver variety, characters

Like Roland Merullo (Final Say, April 23), my profession permits
me to travel and experience golf at its finest. I was a private club
member for years but realized something was missing. Living
in the Dallas area, where we can play year round and there is an
abundance of quality, public-access golf, I’ve come to realize I
enjoy the freedom of playing various courses with new folks more
than a regular game at my private club. The characters you meet and the cama-
raderie you share those four to six hours are something I wouldn’t trade. Thanks
for reminding me how lucky I am to have access to such great experiences.

Brian Wallace, Duncanville, Texas

Help Blalock’s push for a senior Women’s Open As an avid golf fan, I’m embarrassed to admit I had no idea that there wasn’t a U.S. Senior Women’s Open (What’s Next For The Legends Tour? April 23). Now is the time to help Jane Blalock get her wish. How about Augusta National for the inaugural event?

Bob Frick, Auburn Hills, Mich.

CORRECTION A caption for a photo on page 42 from the April 23 feature on the Legends Tour incorrectly referenced Liselotte Neumann. The player was Tina Tombs.
