Wednesday, January 4, 2017 / Legacy.
The Legacy Golf Club, rich in heritage and history, is an 18-hole par 71 championship golf course designed by renowned golf course architect Gary Panks. Located on what was once Dwight B. Heard’s 7,500-acre ranch, the golf club is rich in Arizona heritage and history. Taking great pride in preserving and integrating many of the historical structures and monuments, our 18-hole championship golf course offers a unique look and an added opportunity to experience some Arizona history and of the Heard legacy, from which the golf club takes its name. The original two-grain silos, built in 1902, still remain along the 18th fairway and were once the tallest structures in Maricopa County. The Sierra Vista House, which marks the 1st tee, was visited on occasion in the early 1900’s by Theodore Roosevelt and Pancho Villa. Come make your own history at the Legacy Golf Club!
What a hoot it was playing with Bill Heller. He actually played better than I have ever seen before from him. Missed by one stoke for a three way tie for 1st. Two Doug night was in effect again, Doug (one) Rankin got 1st on the scorecard playoff and Doug (two) Patterson got second place also at 63 net. Bill was third at 64 net. See you all at Francisco Grande Saturday. The other losers are listed below.
