Road Swing Preview · June 27–29, 2026

The Bellingham Trip — three cards, one weekend.

The ETGL heads north for a three-round summer package across North Bellingham, Shuksan, and Lake Padden. This is the unofficial Clubhouse preview: fake purse, real storylines, and enough leaderboard anxiety to make every first-tee swing feel expensive.

One weekend, three very different scorecards.

North Bellingham · Shuksan · Lake Padden · June 27–29, 2026

Bellingham is less a single stop than a small stage race: keep it together on Saturday, survive the middle round, then find one more clean card before the caravan points south. Official results will still live with the league; this page is the Clubhouse hype sheet for the stretch that can rearrange both the Commissioner's Cup and Green Jacket boards.

The course rotation — northbound, then home.

The exact pairings and tee details belong on the official site. This is the Clubhouse read on the shape of the weekend.

Round 1 · Sat Jun 27

North Bellingham

The opener sets the tone. No one wins the trip here, but one loose nine can make the rest of the weekend feel like math homework.

Round 2 · Sun Jun 28

Shuksan

The middle card is where patience matters. It rewards the player who can reset after dinner stories become breakfast excuses.

Round 3 · Mon Jun 29

Lake Padden

The closer. Everyone knows what they need, everyone pretends they are not leaderboard-watching, and the last six holes get loud.

Storylines — what to watch.

Pressure, pace, and pretend money
01

Can anyone slow Clogston?

Two straight gross wins have turned the front of the board into a chase scene. Bellingham gives the field three chances to dent the lead.

02

The Green Jacket is still noisy.

Tank, Kibbee, Berger, Mischke, Brinck, and Rowe all have enough net life to make one hot card matter more than the standings suggest.

03

Road-trip stamina is a scoring category.

Three days rewards the player who keeps the same swing after two meals, five stories, and one deeply questionable yardage.

04

Every round has its own plot.

North Bellingham introduces the weekend, Shuksan tests the reset button, and Lake Padden gets the final word.

The fake purse — $4.5M of leaderboard theater.

Unofficial. Imaginary. Still emotionally binding for anyone who appears above the fold.

Players to watch — the travel board.

Six names with different reasons to make Bellingham matter.

Gross No. 1 · Net No. 1

Chris Clogston

He arrives with both races in his pocket. The question is whether the weekend becomes a coronation or a correction.
Gross No. 2 · Net No. 2

Jon Hayenga

The closest double-race pursuer. Three rounds gives him room to apply pressure without needing one perfect Saturday.
Defending Green Jacket

Chris Tank

Still dangerous in net and built for the kind of weekend where one controlled card turns into three.
Top-four in both races

Todd Kibbee

Already near the top. If the leaders stumble, Kibbee is exactly close enough to make the standings uncomfortable.
Net No. 5

Warren Berger

West Seattle showed the net game travels. A steady Bellingham set could turn him from chaser to problem.
Latest co-net winner

Pete Brinck

Fresh off a share of the West Seattle net title, Brinck has the right kind of momentum for a long weekend.
