Brendan Steele will defend his back-to-back titles this week in the Safeway Open in Napa. The native Idyllwilder won this first event of the PGA Tour season in both 2016 and 2017 — it would be a real rarity for a player to win a Tour tournament three years running. This year, Phil Mickelson, fresh…
New Town Crier Members are adding more good support to our community’s newspaper. Eighteen brand-new Members have joined during the first three weeks of our second Members year. And another 123 Charter Members already have renewed — 14 more during this past week. That brings our currently active membership to 671, all of whom are…

Brendan Steele posted an even-par 74-69-69-68 — 280 last week in the BMW Championship, which was good for only 63rd place on the relatively tame Aronimink Golf Club course at Newton Square, Pennsylvania, closing out his 2017-18 PGA Tour season.

Editor’s note: I’m giving Jack a turn again this week. “Fake news” is taken to mean one thing at the national level, but something quite different at the local level. When any newspaper values its reputation, it does not report rumor as news. It uses reliable sources and it verifies them. A reliable news source…
Our Charter Membership list, comprising those readers joining during our first Membership year, will close on Aug. 31.
