Wisconsin: a destination for beer, cheese and — golf?

Golf Advisor named the Badger State the best golf destination to visit in 2017, thanks in part to Erin Hills playing host to the 2017 U.S. Open in June.

And while visitors will have to wait to play the course until after the tournament (they closed last year to prepare), Wisconsin is home to a number of other world-class golf courses for working on your stroke. That includes The American Club, home to four Pete Dye-designed courses, and the nearby Jack Nicklaus-designed course, The Bull at Pinehurst Farms.

Team Vanessa

Waukesha's Nick Viall is once again trying to find love on "The Bachelor" franchise. The country will find out Monday which woman won his heart, but who is Wisconsin cheering for?

CableTV dug into Google Trends data to find the most popular contestant in each state, and Wisconsin is solidly on the side of Montreal native Vanessa. Maybe it's that proximity to Canada, eh?

Fans of the Cap
