Sandy was in the Midwest of the US in the last issue, paying a visit to the Erin Hills course, northwest of Milwaukee in Wisconsin.

Erin Hills is located in an area known as the Kettle Moraine, which was formed by glaciers that left a lot of sand in the area. Golf architects Dr Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry, with the help of former Golf Digest architecture editor Ron Whitten, built the golf course, which opened in 2006. It became the longest course ever to host the US Open in 2017, when Brooks Koepka took home the trophy, his first Major, and the start of a two-year sequence in which he won four. Congratulations to Jordan Kvasnicka of Atlanta whose entry was the first out of the hat.

A very famous course – regarded by many as one of the best in the world – in this issue, so no clues, except to say that it is generally viewed as one of the two finest by its architect. And the other was the focus of the whole world’s attention recently!
