Snow golf at high altitude? At this Tahoe ski resort, it’s a thing

**Snow golf takes off in Tahoe**

At Heavenly Mountain Resort in South Lake Tahoe, Calif., winter warriors are teeing off on a snow-covered course just weeks after the ski season ended. No, it’s not a skier fantasy: It’s snow golf. Heavenly began offering snow golf — nine holes played on a par-3 course — last winter as a way to extend the resort season. Players use orange golf balls that are easier to spot in the snow and special tees that keep the ball elevated. The experience is like nothing else, said Heavenly’s director of golf, Chris Raynor. “It’s definitely a different game,” Raynor said. “But it’s a lot of fun, and it’s a great way to enjoy the mountain in the summertime.”

Royal Troon’s 6th hole to set Open distance mark

Royal Troon’s 6th hole to set Open distance mark

**Royal Troon’s 6th Hole to Set Open Distance Mark**

The iconic 6th hole at Royal Troon is set to become the longest par-3 in Open Championship history, measuring 236 yards from tee to green. The hole, known as the “Postage Stamp,” is situated on a narrow spit of land and has been a formidable challenge for golfers throughout the years.

The decision to lengthen the hole was made to provide a stiffer test for the players and to ensure that only the most accurate shots are rewarded. The new distance will require players to hit a precise tee shot to find the putting surface and avoid the treacherous bunkers that guard the green.

Royal Troon has hosted the Open Championship nine times, and the 6th hole has played a pivotal role in many memorable moments. In 2004, Todd Hamilton holed out from the tee for a stunning birdie, while in 1973, Tom Weiskopf found himself in the infamous “Barry Burn” after hitting his tee shot short.

The new distance of the 6th hole is sure to add another chapter to the rich history of this iconic course.
