Pine Lakes "The Grandaddy" |
|
Pine Lakes known as
the "Granddaddy", was designed in 1927 by Robert White. Elegant and
upscale are two words that instantly come to mind upon entering the gates of Pine
Lakes International Country Club. The beautiful 62-room ante-bellum club was completed
in 1927 and has always been a must for photographers both professional and amateur
alike. The clubhouse is surrounded by oaks and towering pines.
There you are met by white-gloved caddy masters who are also clad in Scottish
attire. Many of these gentlemen have been in the club's employment for 30-40 years,
having begun as caddies carrying the bags of some of the most noted golfers in
history. A proud adherence to tradition is evident as they inform you that the
only time you are permitted to handle your clubs during your visit is while you're
playing with them. Several assistants to the caddy masters begin a time-honored
ritual of washing your clubs and shining your shoes.
Halfway through the course, visitors encounter the Club Chef. A double take proves,
that yes, he is stirring his famous homemade clam chowder over an open fire. This
secret recipe was first concocted by "The Granddaddy's" original club
chef of over 40 years. On warm, sunny days, you will be treated to a refreshing
mimosa on the course. When the wind blows and there is a nip in the air, you can
expect hot chocolate on the first tee. |
