Firestone's North Course twice hosted a TOUR event, the 1976 American Golf Classic and the 1994 NEC World Series of Golf.

The tournament has been held on more than 60 courses at 56 clubs throughout Ohio. Tam O’Shanter Golf Course in Canton played host to the event 15 times (1989-2002), the most of any venue.

Robison, who followed his 27 years at Firestone with 14 at Canton’s Brookside Country Club, won in 1986. Past champions always are invited, but Robison has declined the last five years.

It's also a great deal of fun to play and an enjoyable challenge nestled on one side of a pristine golf course. The Monster 16th hole on the South Course at Firestone Country Club.

Jacob, who now requires an MRI yearly, may consider a career in the golf industry. On Tuesday, he played a round on the North Course with Pampling’s son, Sam, 19.

Firestone South is a beautiful course, and the 16th is a masterpiece of a golf hole. May you fare better than I did.

Kelly won in 2020 and 2022, and Stricker won in 2021 and 2023. Kelly first spoke about his success at Firestone, and how the course fits his eye.

I'm a 22 handicap and I took on the 667-yard Monster 16th hole at Firestone Country Club's South Course. I was left beat up and bruised.
