Hello Friends! Jim Nantz here welcoming you to week 3 of the season. Tight battles once again in week 2 left the table cluttered at the top. Can anyone separate in week 3? Let’s see where we’re playing this week
The Americas TourWeek 3 on the Americas Tour takes us Europe? You heard me correctly, Europe. The Americas Tour heads to Birmingham, England to Brabazon @ The Belfry (T). Designed by Stephen Petford, this real, par 72, countryside themed course spans 7485 yards. This is an updated version of the Brabazon course at the famous Belfry Resort that was originally created on 2k21 but has improved aspects of the course such as bunkering and general planting aesthetics to enhance the golfer’s experience in playing this fantastic historical venue.

Now let’s get to our One for the Road course of the week: English Rose Golf Club. Designed by The Brew Crew’s most prolific designer, Les Sangster, English Rose is a fictional, par 70, highlands themed course spanning 6742 yards. The course is set on the Northeast Coast of England situated in between the main East Coast rail line that runs through the town and the coast line. The inspiration for the course is a course Les has played many times in real life, Hartlepool GC, which is set between the town, rail line and the coast. The course inspired the loose recreation of three of the holes on the real life course. The signature hole is the short 10th which is about 110 yards over a gully. Not using enough club will leave you in deep trouble on this hole.
Let’s get out to the course for continuing match coverage and remember Friends, GRAB THOSE SCORECARDS!
