Four in C.O. in Golf Digest’s top 200 — Pronghorn Club’s Nicklaus (No. 130) and Fazio (No. 134), Crosswater Club (No. 177) and Tetherow Golf Club (No. 192) all placed in Golf Digest’s list of The Second 100 Greatest courses in the U.S. The list, released in Golf Digest’s February 2013 issue, is based on a survey of golf experts who are asked to rate both private and public golf courses based on seven criteria. The four courses at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort were the only Oregon courses ranked in the magazine’s top 100.

Widgi head pro let go — Dan Ostrin is no longer the head professional at Bend’s Widgi Creek Golf Club. Ostrin, who had been Widgi’s head pro for eight seasons, was let go from the club last week as part of a restructuring effort, according to the golf club. Widgi assistant pro Josh Bowles has remained on staff, said Brad Hudspeth, Widgi Creek’s general manager.
