The 2019 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid Limited
The 2018 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid. Last year, the big news from Hyundai was the introduction of its Prius-fighter Ioniq Hybrid. Now, for 2018, there's a plug-in version---and we like it better than the original. 2018 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid. We liked the '17 Ioniq just fine, apart from being unable to get close to the EPA fuel economy estimate in our tester. But we had no such problems with the Plug-In Hybrid. 2018 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid. The 2018 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid delivers 29 miles of pure electric range before the gas/electric hybrid system takes over. My commute is 25 miles each way, so 29 out of every 50 mile daily roundtrip was done without using a drop of gas. That allowed me to finish the week, which involved about 300 miles of driving, with an average fuel economy of 62.5 miles per gallon. 2018 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid interior. Also nice is the fit, finish and level of equipment in our tester. 32,050---which for the level of equipment---is more than competitive with the Toyota Prius Prime. Ioniq is a much nicer car to look at than the current-generation Prius.

The West Course has hosted multiple US Opens, most recently the 2006 event won by Geoff Ogilvy after shocking final hole collapses from both Phil Mickleson and Colin Montgomerie. The West has also hosted the PGA Championship in 1997 (won by Davis Love III) and a Walker Cup, among many other notable championships. It's a notoriously difficult course and many of the Opens held there have been notable for the high scoring, with the 1974 "Massacre at Winged Foot" won by Hale Irwin perhaps being the most famous of them all. My round on the West Course was one of those magical days where I stepped up my game to match the occasion, shooting a 78 from the tips with three birdies. We'd later head back out to play eight holes on the soon-to-be-restored East Course (Gil Hanse is doing the work) and finished the night off in style, with gourmet hot dogs on the patio, a few drinks and great conversation.
It was one of the great days of my golfing life and I hope to return someday soon! The next day, I was able to get in 36 holes, playing in two states. First up was The Course at Yale, unquestionably the best university course in America. The Biarritz hole at Yale - that's me STANDING in the 5 foot deep swale! I had the distinct pleasure of playing with 11-time Yale club champion and highly decorated amateur Reverend Bill Lee and his good friend Gerry. The scale at Yale is pretty much unlike any course I've seen in my life - MASSIVE doesn't even begin to tell the story. I understand the club is working hard on their conditioning issues and it's necessary, as the stately trees are keeping the much needed sunlight from hitting the turf, with many patchy areas throughout the course. I think this is a potential top 100 WORLD golf course if the proper work is conducted. Just sensational architecture and a real treat to play.
After my round, I hopped in the car and drove back into Westchester to play the understated Fenway GC, an A.W. Gil Hanse has led a restoration effort at Fenway and despite being very much under the radar, it's a classy club and a treat to play. I whipped around as a single with a caddy in about two hours and it was a great experience and a lovely course. Shinnecock is a beautiful brute and very well may be the best and most difficult golf course I've ever had the pleasure of playing. Rated 5th in the world by Golf Magazine, this William Flynn masterpiece features incredible land, strategic play at every turn and a truly wonderful set of green complexes. Like Oakmont, another famously difficult golf course that has hosted major events, Shinnecock is eminently fair, with plenty of width but is completely exposed to the elements, with wind especially being a major factor.
