Ah, Memorial Day. Some call this weekend the unofficial start of summer, while many travel to be with friends and family and remember those who died in military service. It’s also a popular time to hit the links by day and hit the trackball by night. As we round the corner to the second half of the Golden Tee 2015 season, I like to reflect on the history of the Golden Tee LIVE era and admire the fact that we’ve been given 50 grand courses to curse and celebrate at the same time. In the spirit of travel, what if we could visit all 50 courses and take a spin on each? How would that look? I’m glad you asked – let’s take a journey around the Golden Tee world via seven exciting Golden Tee Fan regional tours! And while you are out, see if you can spot all your favorite Golden Tee clubs, balls, and golf terms while celebrating the diversity of each masterpiece and learning a few fun facts — which is your favorite?
