GOLFNOW DAILY HOOK UP
Previous day’s winner:
James Engnes of Columbus, OH
EagleSticks Golf Club in Zanesville, OH
Challenging and compact at 6,500 yards from the blues, EagleSticks is a course that clearly favors accuracy over power. With more than 100 feet of elevation change, most tee boxes are located on the highest ground, so you’ll be treated to panoramic views on most holes before hitting down to the fairways.
