East Lake Golf Course

Established in 1904, East Lake was originally designed by architect Tom Bendelow. His design, which took three years to complete, was short lived. In 1913, the Club hired Donald Ross to completely rework the Bendelow design. Over the years, Ross’ routing remained basically intact. George Cobb did some work in 1959 in preparation for the Club to host the Ryder Cup in 1963. After years of neglect, Rees Jones restored East Lake in 1993. It has been home to the Tour Championship for 22 years offering some of golfs greatest moments.

Sometimes it’s easy to see a new product and love the look of it (in my case, Stealth) and have your heart set on it, however it is vital you justify any purchase by the performance benefits the product gives you. Often, you will get the best out of the products you didn’t go in store for.
