Colorado Golf Boom Keeps on Ticking Whistling Straits Even Stuns Dye BRIEFS Colorado golf boom keeps on ticking By ALLEN BEST In 1992 Fred Green wanted to build a membership-driven golf course about 15 miles west of Vail, Colo., the nation's largest ski area. As a hedge, he drafted plans to first excavate the rich gravel deposits. Green started selling memberships at $50,000, quickly upped it to $80,000 and, soon, greens overlaid the gravel. The membership roster is full at 250, with invitation-only member- ship fees now believed to cost well in excess of $100,000.

Whistling Straits raises $500K for The First Tee KOHLER, Wis. (AP) — Former President George Bush said The First Tee program will teach young people valuable les- sons in life as well as how to play golf. "The First Tee program has to do with life," Bush said before teeing off in a fund-raiser to open Whistling Straits, a new Pete Dye-designed course near Kohler. "By giving a kid a shot at the American dream, it has to do with what sports means in a person's makeup. "It has a lot to do with the real business of living. It's about giv- ing some kid a shot not just at playing this marvelous game of golf that we all love, but to give them a shot at the true meaning of life. And I mean that seri- ously." The First Tee was started last year by the World Golf Founda- tion to create new facilities and programs to make golf more af- fordable and accessible for youths.

    WHISTLING STRAITS® FACTS “I should say this with some degree of modesty. But in my lifetime, I’ve never seen anything like this. Anyplace. Period.” Pete Dye, World Golf Hall of Fame Designer Blackwolf Run® and Whistling Straits A throwback to the raw freshness of Ireland sculpted into the Wisconsin coastline, Whistling Straits is part of Destination Kohler in Kohler, Wisconsin. Located off the shore of Lake Michigan, Whistling Straits is comprised of two, 18-hole championship golf courses that continue to challenge the best professional and amateur golfers around the world. Arguably the best golf experience in America, these Pete Dye-designed courses continue to be ranked at the top of the list of “America’s 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses” by Golf Digest. CHAMPIONSHIPS – PAST & FUTURE EVENTS 2020 Ryder Cup will be hosted on The Straits® at Whistling Straits. 2015 PGA Championship was hosted on The Straits. This was the third time the PGA Championship was hosted on The Straits and the championship didn’t disappoint. On Sunday afternoon two of the world’s best, Jason Day and Jordan Spieth, battled for the Wannamaker Trophy. Day fired an impressive final round 67 to beat Spieth by 3 shots and capture the 2015 PGA Championship title, his first major championship. The 2010 PGA Championship was hosted on The Straits. This was the second time the PGA Championship was hosted on The Straits, and for the second time on this riveting and unforgiving course, the winner had to be determined by a playoff. With the sun setting quickly and a nerve-wracking three-hole playoff between Martin Kaymer and Bubba Watson, it was Kaymer who pulled through for the win.
