"The Squire" Course of PGA National
|
The Squire, opened on October 30, 1981, is named after the immortal Gene Sarazen, who has set standards in golf that are looked upon today with the greatest admiration. Nicknamed the "Squire," he is as much a part of golf history as anyone that has played the game. He was a true competitor who became the first person ever to win the professional "Grand Slam" - the U.S. Open, the Brithish Open, the PGA Championship and the Masters. His actions on and off the course have always been exemplary. >He stands today as a credit to all who have enjoyed the game.
Tom and George Fazio, designers of the course, refer to the "Squire" as "the thinking man's course," requiring the golfer to test his/her accuracy with fairway woods and/or long irons off many tees and precise short iron shots into the greens. The links layout is the shortest yardage, but plays the narrowest of the PGA National Golf Club courses.
