Dan Bury over at GOLFNOW.com - and friend to ChicagoDuffer.com - informed me of a few interesting events going on this weekend to coincide with the PGA TOUR's John Deere Classic in Silvis, IL. Beginning on July 7th, you can participate in events at two area golf courses: Wedgewood Golf Course and Inwood Golf Course, both in Joliet, Illinois.

On July 8th the action shifts to two other golf facilities in the area: Oak Meadows Golf Club in Addison and Top Golf over in Wood Dale.

Next, you can participate at two locations on Saturday, July 9th at TopGolf or Mackray Memorial Golf Club in Barrington:

Finally, you can visit Ravisloe Country Club in Homewood on Sunday, July 10th for the final event location, which will include a driving range chipping contest.  You can also watch the action live from the John Deere Classic on televisions at Wedgewood Golf Course throughout the week:
