A Midwest awakening: Kansas City golf scene shines with restored muni, pristine private clubs

KANSAS CITY — When you think about premier golf destinations in the U.S., the usual suspects likely come to mind. Long Island, the Phoenix Valley, the Carolinas, anywhere along the coasts of California and Florida. If someone mentions a place such as Kansas City, most people probably assume it’s a bunch of flat Midwestern nothingness ― an afterthought in America's golf scene. But the KC metro is experiencing a golf renaissance.

Chubby Smith Guitar Collection Goes on Sale Saturday at Lawrence Arts Center

LAWRENCE, Kan. (KPR) — Jeff "Chubby" Smith was a longtime recording engineer and producer at Kansas Public Radio and the Kansas Audio-Reader Network. He died in May of this year. While he was born Jeffrey Eugene Smith in 1966, few of his friends or co-workers ever called him that. They simply called him Chuck, Chub, Chubby, Ascencion or Chubias. (He never could decide on a single first name.) He produced KPR's Opera is My Hobby, with Dr. Jim Seaver. He recorded and produced the Ruel Joyce Recital Series and countless other live musical performances.
