Enjoy a Day of Play at The Highlands, Florida Style

The Highlands, part of The Meadows Country Club in Sarasota, was designed by Francis Duane, a native of The Bronx, New York. Duane worked with greats such as Robert Trent Jones and Arnold Palmer, eventually going out on his own to design renowned courses such as Bellerive Country Club, St. Louis, Missouri; Big Sky Resorts Golf Course, Big Sky, Montana; Half Moon Bay Links, Half Moon Bay, California; and Kapalua Resort, Lahaina, Maui, Hawai‘i. Duane is known as a profile in courage in golf architecture, as he contracted Guillain- Barré Syndrome, a debilitating disease. Through his illness and as a wheelchair user he still traveled, often with connecting flights, to courses under his design to craft places we still play and enjoy today.

Far and Wide

Summer is in full swing; and as I plan my fall and winter activities, I am taking some R&R in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, enjoying beach time, golf and great meals cooked on the grill. We’re looking forward to a successful The Trazees awards next month at the beautiful The Joseph Hotel in Nashville. In addition, we are currently confirming those of you joining me on the GT-hosted Windstar Cruises trip to Tahiti on Star Breeze.
