Did you know… that the water around hole #17 on the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass claims over 120,000 balls each year?!? I am honored and disappointed to say that it has claimed one of mine as well!
Did you know…the 1st women’s golf tournament was held in 1811 at Musselburgh Golf Club in Scotland? Yes, women played golf before 1811 but this was the first organized tournament. Guess what 1st prize was? A fishing basket!
