Although its origins are wide- ly disagreed upon, the game has undoubtedly left an indelible imprint on society. In celebration of golf’s past and present, The Daily Tee has compiled a list of 25 of the game’s most unusual, awe-inspiring, and just plain weird facts. Enjoy! 1) Breaking Barriers – Long before Annika Sorenstam competed in the 2003 Bank of America Colonial, Babe Zaharias became the first – and only – female golfer to make the cut at a PGA TOUR event, shooting 76 and 81 during the first two rounds of the 1945 Los Angeles Open. 2) Break Needed – One of the world’s most popular actors, Samuel L. Jackson, is also an avid golfer. In fact, the star of flicks like “Pulp Fiction” and “Django Unchained,” has a contract clause to play golf twice a week whenever he films movies.

  • Up to Par Management Sponsors the NGCOA Mid-Atlantic
    A Message from Our President Winter 2018 The holiday season is wrapping up, and golf course owners and operators in the Mid-Atlantic preparing for the new season, which will be here before we know it. So, what will the New Year hold? Is the supply and demand going to level out some, with the recent closing of a number of courses in the Mid-Atlantic? Will we find new ways to create revenue at our courses? The NGCOA Conference is coming up in San Antonio on February 6-8, and a great program is planned. The program looks great – hope you can make it! There is a lot of momentum, following a successful TechCon event in Las Vegas in September. Second-year CEO Jay Karen is now building strong industry relationships and bringing new faces to the conference. Click here to view the program for the NGCOA Conference. Say, did you see the Nov./Dec. issue of Golf Business magazine? The cover features “The Four Golf Golf Horsemen,” the four new minority owners of Marlton Golf Club in the Washington, DC area. They plan to expose the minority community to both golf and business. Great reading! We had a really great annual meeting a few weeks ago at 1757 Club in Dulles, a Billy Casper Golf facility. Peter Hill, CEO of Billy Casper Golf, shared his insights on the industry and where it is headed. We had a national update from NGCOA CEO Jay Karen, and a Government Relations report from the GCSAA’s man on the Hill, Bob Helland.
