There is also a self-guided enhanced audio tour, "Voices from the Hall", that allows you to have first-person accounts of the Hall of Fame Members, which takes you through the history of the game, historical moments, personal stories and details behind specific pieces of memorabilia. Voices of golf legends such as Tony Jacklin, Tom Kite, Nancy Lopez, Carol Mann, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Annika Sorenstam, Louise Suggs and many more guide you through more than 175 stops throughout the museum. That evening we had a wonderful meal in the 500 South Restaurant, in our hotel, and prepared to get a good nights sleep in preparation for our early morning tee time on The Slammer and Squire.
The Slammer and Squire is named after golf legends "Slammin" Sam Snead and Gene "The Squire" Sarazen, this course was designed by Bobby Weed who consulted with the two legends to create this par 72 masterpiece. It opened in 1998.
This course is truly a tribute to the game of golf. With its five sets of tee boxes, the 6,939 yard course can be played from a variety of lengths creating a challenging round for the advanced golfer but also an eminately playable course for the novice. |
