Colorado Springs: where the air is thin, the vibes are high, and the golf balls fly farther!

Whether you're a hardcore golfer or just crush it at mini golf, you’ll love the behind-the-scenes scoop on why this isn’t just any tournament coming to The Broadmoor—it’s golf’s toughest test on one of the most scenic courses in America.

Keri spills championship secrets you won’t hear anywhere else—from players traveling with their own mattresses (seriously!) to altitude training tips, family-friendly fun, unexpected course quirks, and even a bear mitigation plan.
