Bevvy Covers Officially Launches, Introducing a Bold, Personality-Driven Approach to Golf Headcovers

Woman-owned brand founded by Bevin Wallace blends craftsmanship, humor, and performance to redefine on-course style

(Denver, CO) — Bevvy Covers, a new woman-owned golf accessories brand, today announced its official launch, bringing a fresh, personality-forward perspective to the game through premium, handcrafted headcovers.

Founded by entrepreneur and avid golfer Bevin Wallace, the brand is rooted in a simple idea: golf gear should reflect who you are, not just how you play. Born from a lifelong connection to the game and a professional background in relationship-driven sales, Wallace’s journey to launching Bevvy Covers is a testament to entrepreneurial spirit and creative problem-solving.

Bevvy Covers enters the market at a time when golf culture continues to evolve, with players increasingly seeking ways to express themselves both on and off the course. The brand’s launch showcases this broader shift toward individuality, creativity and inclusivity within the game, values that are central to Wallace’s vision.

What began as time spent on the course hosting clients, and later playing more frequently with family after stepping away from corporate life, evolved into a hands-on passion for design and craftsmanship.

“When I couldn’t find headcovers that felt like me — something elevated, unique and fun — I decided to try making my own,” said Wallace. “That sparked something. What started as a creative outlet quickly became an obsession with getting every detail just right.”

This passion now defines Bevvy Covers, where each product is thoughtfully designed and carefully constructed to balance style with performance, offering golfers a durable, protective solution that doesn’t sacrifice individuality. Drawing inspiration from personal experiences, inside jokes shared on the course, and the camaraderie that defines the game, Bevvy’s designs bring a sense of humor and authenticity to a category often dominated by tradition.

As a perfectionist by nature, Wallace is building the brand around a commitment to quality and intentional design, ensuring every stitch reflects the care and attention behind it.

“Our goal is to create products that make people smile while also delivering the protection your clubs deserve,” Wallace added. “Golf has given me so many meaningful moments with family and friends, and Bevvy is my way of bringing more personality and joy to that experience.”

The Three Greatest Golf Movies Ever Made

By the time the credits roll, these films prove golf is anything but a quiet game.

Golf has a reputation problem. To outsiders, it’s slow, polite, maybe even a little sleepy. But Hollywood has spent decades trying to rewrite that narrative—and at its best, it’s succeeded. The greatest golf films don’t just capture the sport; they bottle its obsession, its absurdity, and its occasional magic.

Here are the three movies that define golf on screen—and why they still matter.

1. Caddyshack — Chaos Wins

If golf has a comedic soul, this is it.

Released in 1980, Caddyshack didn’t just poke fun at country club culture—it detonated it. The film is less about competition and more about class clashes, ego, and pure nonsense. Chevy Chase plays it cool, Rodney Dangerfield plays it loud, and Bill Murray… well, he plays it completely unhinged.

And yet, beneath the anarchy, there’s something true about golf here. The game has always been a social battleground as much as a sport. Status, money, belonging—it’s all in play before the first tee shot.

Four decades later, Caddyshack remains the most quoted golf movie ever made—and arguably the most influential.

2. Tin Cup — The Beauty of the Blow-Up

Where Caddyshack is chaos, Tin Cup is heartbreak.

Kevin Costner stars as Roy McAvoy, a gifted but self-destructive golfer chasing one last shot at greatness. Unlike most sports films, this one understands the quiet cruelty of golf—the way a single decision can define everything.

The film’s climax is legendary: a final-hole gamble that turns into a slow-motion unraveling. It’s not just drama; it’s psychology. Every golfer who’s ever refused to “lay up” sees themselves in that moment.

Tin Cup doesn’t just show golf—it understands why people can’t quit it.

3. Happy Gilmore — The Game Gets Loud

Golf had never seen anything like Happy Gilmore—and it hasn’t since.

Adam Sandler plays a failed hockey player who stumbles into golf with a slapshot swing and a short fuse. It’s ridiculous from the opening scene, but that’s the point. Happy Gilmore drags golf out of its quiet, buttoned-up world and injects it with chaos, noise, and attitude.

Purists rolled their eyes. Everyone else loved it.

More importantly, it brought new fans into the game—kids who didn’t see themselves in country clubs but suddenly saw golf as something they could crash.

Final Word

Together, these three films tell the full story of golf:

Caddyshack shows its absurdity

Tin Cup reveals its obsession

Happy Gilmore proves it can evolve

Golf may be played in silence—but on screen, it’s never been louder.

Mountain Lake Begins Restoration Project to Its Historic Golf Course

Tyler Rae to Lead Six-Month Project Rebuilding Greens, Restoring Bunkers and Enhancing Iconic Holes to Its Original Seth Raynor Design

(LAKE WALES, Fla.) – Mountain Lake, a residential community located in central Florida’s lake district, has officially started the extensive restoration project of its Seth Raynor-designed golf course.

The project, led by renowned course architect Tyler Rae, will focus on three main components: the reconstruction and redesign of the putting surfaces, design enhancements for every hole using archival photos and newly discovered historic information about the course, and the restoration and placement of bunkers.

Rae, who was the lead architect at courses in New York, Illinois and South Carolina, has restored other Seth Raynor original designs at Lookout Mountain Club in Georgia and Wanumetonomy Golf and Country Club in Rhode Island.

The multi-million-dollar restoration project began on April 20 and has shut down the golf course. The golf course will reopen in November 2026. NMP Golf Course Construction Corp. from Williston, Vt. is the general contractor.

“Any work on the golf course must first and foremost be work that will enhance enjoyment and playability for our members,” says General Manager and Chief Operating Officer Eric von Hofen. “Viewing this infrastructure-driven renovation project through the lens of Seth Raynor’s vision for Mountain Lake will set the community up for its next 100 years.”

A major aspect of the golf course restoration plan will focus on modernizing and improving the greens and bunkers. Many of the current greens were built in the early 2000s as part of a redesign project and were nearing the end of their functional life. The materials in the subsurface layers of the greens have gradually hardened over time, which has limited drainage. In addition to updating the infrastructure, changes will be made to the TifEagle Bermuda putting surfaces to match the sizes, shapes and characteristics shown in historical photos. There have also been underlying issues with the bunkers; therefore, they will be updated to help manage the rising costs of repairs and maintenance. 

In evaluating the design enhancements for the course, Mountain Lake reviewed historical information, which included Raynor’s 1915 sketch of the first nine holes, revision drawings dating back to 1929 from Raynor’s protégé Charles Banks, an engineering drawing from 1935 and aerial photographs of the grounds from 1941. Rae and his design team meticulously studied these documents, which offered insights into the golf course’s evolution from its inception to its current state.

Notable design enhancements include:

Recreating the original punch bowl green at the third hole that was seen in Raynor’s 1915 routing and in early 1917 photos.

Reconfiguring the fairway bunkering at the fourth hole to match the design seen in Raynor’s 1915 routing. A large, dominant bunker on the left will replace the multiple ones currently found on that side, forcing golfers to decide how much they want to bite off from the tee.

Moving the sixth green more than 20 yards to the right to open up views of the green from the tee. 

Rebuilding the greenside bunkers at No. 11 to make them more sizable and dramatic, which will make this Redan hole truly one of a kind.

Dubbed the “Road Hole,” the 13th will feature reconstructed bunkers aimed at promoting strategy off the tee. A fairway bunker about 100 yards from the green also will be recreated, emulating the strategy and location of the Scholar’s / Progressing bunker complex on the original Road Hole at The Old Course at St. Andrews in Scotland.

The green on the finishing hole will be restored to its original concept as seen in Raynor’s 1915 routing. It will feature a large false front and a kidney shape surrounding a deep right bunker.

Relandscaping many key areas on the golf course with native Live oak trees, grasses and native plants will also be a priority. These plantings will add texture and depth to the golf experience.  

“The goal of this project is not to reinvent the golf course; rather, we will take the most current iteration of the course and make it better, while also paying homage to Seth Raynor’s original design,” says Rae. “This restoration project will maintain the playability of the golf course, as well as emphasize and reintroduce the features of the golf course that will make Mountain Lake a stalwart on Top 100 lists for many years to come.”

Founded in 1915 and designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr., Mountain Lake spans over 1,000 acres of rolling hills and numerous lakes, offering panoramic views of the surrounding central Florida landscape and neighboring Bok Tower Gardens. The secured enclave boasts a wide assortment of residences, including historic homes built by legendary architects for some of the country’s most recognizable names. Current homeowners are stewards of their home’s history while maintaining the captivating exterior of these charming residences and updating the interior with accoutrements and furnishings.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Colony House is the social hub for the community, offering sophisticated dining options in 1916 and casual cookouts by the pool. A fitness center, library, 37 guest suites and full-service concierge services also are available at the Colony House, with croquet lawns situated just steps away and a racquet sports facility located to the right of the first fairway. Mountain Lake also boasts a shooting range nestled in an old clay mine on the outskirts of the community.

Cobbs Creek Foundation and Lincoln Financial celebrate grand opening of Lincoln Financial Center at Cobbs Creek

(Philadelphia, Pa.) – The Cobbs Creek Foundation and Lincoln Financial today celebrated the grand opening of the Lincoln Financial Center at Cobbs Creek and launched the first full season of golf since the Cobbs Creek Foundation began revitalizing the historic course.

Joined by elected officials, business leaders, community members, and executives from Lincoln Financial, leadership from the nonprofit Cobbs Creek Foundation cut a ribbon on the 42,000 square-foot Lincoln Financial Center at Cobbs Creek. The three-story complex houses a driving range and golf entertainment center, The Little Horse Tavern restaurant, retail pro shop and 200-person event and community space.

“We are thrilled to bring to life our partnership with Lincoln Financial on the new Cobbs Creek Golf and Education Campus and to welcome visitors from across the city and region to the Lincoln Financial Center,” said Jeffrey Shanahan, president of the Cobbs Creek Foundation. “We thank our partners at Lincoln Financial for their investment in this community. Their commitment ensures that the Cobbs Creek campus will be a beacon of education, life-changing opportunities, and environmental stewardship.”

"For more than 120 years, providing financial protection and security for our customers and their families has been central to Lincoln Financial’s mission — and that commitment extends to strengthening the communities where we live and work,” said Ellen Cooper, Chairman, President and CEO of Lincoln Financial. “We are proud to support the Cobbs Creek Foundation’s work to expand access and opportunity across Philadelphia. Through our partnership with TGR Foundation, we are bringing financial literacy and economic empowerment programs to the next generation. As a founding partner, we are honored to be part of this effort and to call this city our home.”

Lincoln Financial became a founding partner of the nonprofit Cobbs Creek Foundation in March 2025, a strategic alignment that will further the restoration of the historic campus as well as the development of community education, networking and mentorship opportunities – reflecting a shared, long-term commitment to the Philadelphia community through increased access to innovative programs and world class facilities.

Together with its partners, Cobbs Creek Foundation is building Philadelphia’s newest amateur and professional sports venue — one rooted in excellence, inclusivity, and a deep commitment to giving back to the community. As one of the first founding partners in this initiative, Lincoln Financial is leading the way in this groundbreaking private-public partnership in sports and education, bringing together mission-driven organizations committed to expanding access, opportunity, and community impact in West Philadelphia.

In addition to naming the Lincoln Financial Center at Cobbs Creek, the company has also partnered with TGR Foundation to develop a new financial wellness program, Money Moves. This program is designed for students in grades 4-12 and their families to build real-world money management skills through topics such as budgeting, entrepreneurship, investing and more. Powered by Lincoln Financial, the program will launch in July at the Smilow Woodland TGR Learning Lab at Cobbs Creek and be available at all TGR Learning Labs starting with the 2026-2027 academic year.

The Smilow Woodland TGR Learning Lab, which opened in April 2025, provides free, year-round educational opportunities for local youth in grades 1-12, including STEAM courses, academic support, college prep and career-connected learning experiences.

The Q School short course, now open to the public, is an entry point for golfers of all ages and abilities and is designed to introduce new players to the game, while also creating a venue for accomplished players to hone their iron play and short game.

The Lincoln Financial Center at Cobbs Creek opened in December 2025 as the first golf amenity reopened to the public since the golf course closed in 2020. The new building’s state-of-the-art amenities include:

- A double-decker golf practice facility equipped with Toptracer technology and food and beverage service to all 68 bays. Hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily with walk-ins welcome.

- The Little Horse Tavern, an elevated and approachable neighborhood restaurant and bar.

- A retail pro shop featuring Cobbs Creek apparel, gear and other items for golfers and Cobbs Creek history enthusiasts.

1916 by Fitler Club, a 200+ person community event/banquet space on the top floor. Named after the year the Cobbs Creek Golf Course originally opened, this space is available for meetings, corporate and community events.

“The Lincoln Financial Center at Cobbs Creek is a place for us to gather, reconnect and enjoy time together, but it’s much more than that,” said Chris Maguire, chairman of the board of the Cobbs Creek Foundation. “More importantly, it will generate revenue to begin transforming this golf course into a unique self-sustaining destination where golf serves as the engine powering opportunity, education, and community impact for generations to come.”

The Cobbs Creek Foundation is raising $180 million to restore and revitalize the historic Cobbs Creek Golf Course, with the remainder of the project set to open in phases. The Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner-led restoration of the 18-hole championship course is underway with an opening planned for 2027, and the nine-hole Karakung course set to open in 2028.

The Cobbs Creek Golf Campus is managed by Troon, the global leader in providing golf and club-related leisure and hospitality services.

Michigan’s “Dog Tracks”: The Three Lowest-Rated Golf Courses Drawing Player Ire

Brookside Golf Course

Michigan is widely celebrated as a golfer’s paradise, home to more than 850 courses and multiple layouts ranked among the best in America. But for every pristine fairway along Lake Michigan’s bluffs, there are a few courses that have earned far less flattering reviews.

While no official statewide “worst-of” list exists, a combination of user-review platforms, golfer feedback, and documented complaints reveals a trio of courses that consistently land at—or near—the bottom of the ratings.

1. Brookside Golf Course

A lesson in patience—and frustration

Few complaints sting more than wasted time, and Brookside has become synonymous with painfully slow rounds. One widely cited review describes players waiting over two hours on just six holes before walking off the course entirely.

Golfers point to poor pace-of-play management and overcrowding as the primary culprits. While layout and design rarely draw harsh criticism, the overall experience—long waits on every tee box—has dragged its rating down significantly.

2. The Classic at Otsego Club

The Classic at Otsego Club

A stunning design undone by conditions

On paper, The Classic at Otsego Club should be a gem. The routing and natural landscape have even earned praise from seasoned players. But according to repeated golfer feedback, poor maintenance has overshadowed its potential.

One golfer summed it up bluntly in an online discussion:

“It was like playing in a farmer’s field.”

Reports of patchy fairways, damaged greens, and inconsistent upkeep have turned what could be a destination course into a cautionary tale. The gap between design quality and actual playing conditions is what lands it firmly among Michigan’s worst-rated.

3. Loggers Trace Golf Course

Infamy through word-of-mouth

Loggers Trace

Loggers Trace has developed a reputation less through formal rankings and more through golfer chatter and media mentions, including videos labeling it “the worst golf course in Michigan.”

Common criticisms include uneven course conditions, inconsistent maintenance, and a layout that many players find confusing or poorly marked. While not universally condemned, its recurring appearance in “worst course” conversations suggests a persistent reputation problem.

A State of Extremes

The contrast is stark. Michigan boasts elite venues like Arcadia Bluffs Golf Club and Crystal Downs Country Club, which regularly earn national acclaim. Yet the state’s sheer volume of courses means quality can vary widely.

In many cases, the difference between a top-tier course and a bottom-tier one isn’t architecture—it’s maintenance, management, and player experience.

Final Word

Calling any course “the worst” is inherently subjective. Conditions change, ownership shifts, and renovations can revive even the most criticized layouts. But for now, Brookside, The Classic at Otsego Club, and Loggers Trace stand as cautionary examples: in golf, as in life, execution matters just as much as design.

Sedona Golf Resort Completes Enhancement Project

(Sedona, Ariz.) – Sedona Golf Resort in Sedona, Arizona recently completed a four-month, $400,000 golf course enhancement project. The project, which began in January, focused on updating the irrigation system and bunkers across the 37-year-old property. Sedona Golf Resort’s agronomy team oversaw the planning and management of the project with Henderson, Nevada-based Pro-Turf International executing the work.

During the project, a total of 39 greenside bunkers were rebuilt, while five-and-a-half bunkers were eliminated. The refreshed bunkers were refilled with 1,200 tons of premium Arizona 50/50 bunker sand, which has an off-white color. Crews also replaced the irrigation system’s eight-inch mainline (that was originally installed in 1988) on holes 11 and 13, and reconfigured irrigation lines on the practice range tee and on holes five and nine.

“The irrigation system upgrades will allow us to have more consistent irrigation cycles each night, which ultimately supports turf health to provide firmer and faster conditions,” said Sedona Golf Resort General Manager Jeremy Hayman. “Between the refreshed bunkers and improved conditions, golfers will definitely notice the enhancements.”

Owned by the Arizona Hideaway Collection and managed by Troon Golf, Sedona Golf Resort opened for play in 1988. The 6,646-yard, par-71, Gary Panks-designed course is set in the heart of Sedona’s red rock landscape and is renowned for its dramatic elevation changes and views of the surrounding red rock formations.

· Enhancements for events such as weddings and corporate retreats
