“If you can make it, we’d love to have you”.
Big things coming. Thanks to everyone who participated, volunteered, performed, bought teams, and showed out. Something special is brewing.
The Grass League solidified it's place in golf this past weekend. High stakes lighted par 3 golf is here to stay.

After 3 years, we finally took over a golf course (soon to be lighted) in Arizona. Here is a behind the scenes look at the entire Grass Clippings Team working towards the opening day 6:27 am tee time.

1) There are 117 lighted golf courses in South Korea. 83 of which are public. I think lighted golf is yet to take off in America not only because ideal land is sparse, but because it's really tough to visualize. This should help. Photos from our partner

It was truly an honor to have one of the all time 🐐's play "Under the Lights" last night. Steph is as advertised with a golf club and probably the best golfer in the NBA.

Every conversation about golf these days is fixated on money. We're straying further and further away from the roots of the game. Bobby Jones won 13 major championships as an amateur and if you ask the majority of golfers, they're just looking for an opportunity.

Welcome the newest Head Greenskeeper of Grass Clippings.

alongside his dog Rye were not only Greenskeepers at TPC Scottsdale, but they perfected the course for The Phoenix Open. They're moving South to Tempe just in time for The 2024 Grass Clippings Open.

Folks, let's settle this once and for all. If the ball goes in the hole in one shot, it's a hole in one.
@JJWatt
don't let anyone take that away from you. They don't come easy. Hole in ones will count at our course in Tempe and GC will reward them. 💪🎯
We decided to pursue a golf course because of The Grass Clippings Open. A two man scramble, no strokes, on a par 3 course.

Lighted Par 3 Golf Courses are the future.
Of the 16,000 golf courses in the United States, 700 are par 3s - representing 4.4% of total golf courses.
Search terms for 'Par 3 Near Me' have exploded since 2019 - up 64% in interest.
That is double the growth rate of the search
There's a ton of history at Grass Clippings Rolling Hills. It was originally called Papa-go Links when it opened in 1960 in large part to it's proximity to the Papago Buttes (seen below in the distance)...
It was renamed in 1963 to Rolling Hills Golf Course in an effort to

We held a media night last week to kick off Night Golf here in Arizona. The biggest take away for Grass Clippings is that we’re now bullish local news.
Take a peak at a behind the scenes look of the entire night. It’s pretty entertaining.

Developing story… Tom Lehman who was instrumental in bringing a pga tour event to Minneapolis is from a small town 2 hours north west (Alexandria, MN). Today his oldest son gets his first PGA tour start at the 3M Open. Grass Clippings and the state of Minnesota are rootin’ hard.
🧵LIGHTS & THE EFFECT ON SPORTS
(1/4)
It's interesting to look back on sports history & witness the effect of introducing lights to outdoor sports. We believe the same will happen within golf.
Unreal opening weekend at Grass Clippings Rolling Hills. Thanks to all that came out. With that said, it’s tough not to think about when the lights go up.
We’re all ready for night golf.

We truly believe Scott Hebert assembled one of the best agronomy teams in the game and they’re now apart of the Grass Clippings family. Thank your local Greenskeeper.
Nothing like Opening Day at Grass Clippings Rolling Hills. Gary Panks, the golf architect from 1987, led us off into a new era of Arizona Golf.

Between the lion roars on 3 green, the howler monkey chatter on 2 green, and the coyote howls throughout the course, the sounds at Grass Clippings Rolling Hills are unlike any other golf course… For safety reasons, the lions do not roam the course.

That wraps up The 2024 Resorters. A finals match that went down to the last hole and a 10 ft birdie putt. Congrats to Jacques Wilson on the title and a second place finish for Lukas Bigger. We better see you guys at the 2024 Grass Clippings Open under the 💡’s.
