Making Memories with Dad to Last a Lifetime
Golf: A Legacy Passed Down Through Generations
Many of golf's legends attribute their passion and success to early days spent on the course with their fathers. These foundational experiences not only honed their skills but also instilled values of discipline, patience, and perseverance.
- Jack Nicklaus, often referred to as the "Golden Bear," cherished playing in the Father/Son Challenge with his sons, stating, "I play the Father/Son every year on the PGA TOUR Champions. I split it between Jackie and Gary as my playing partners."
- Justin Thomas was introduced to golf by his father, Mike Thomas, a PGA teaching professional. Their bond over the game remains strong, with Mike still serving as Justin's coach.
- Phil Mickelson learned to play golf by mirroring his father's right-handed swing, leading to his distinctive left-handed style. Their frequent rounds together during Phil's youth laid the foundation for his illustrious career.
- Davis Love III and his son, Dru Love, exemplify the enduring nature of golf's familial ties. In 2018, they teamed up to win the Father/Son Challenge, showcasing the deep connection forged through shared rounds.

Creating Moments That Matter
Golf offers more than just a game; it's an opportunity to connect, reflect, and grow together. As Tony Finau aptly said, "My son has impressed on me that’s what he wants as well. So, I have to try to be tough on him to hold him accountable to teach him that hard work and grit, it’s not easy, though."
At Treetops Resort, we believe in the power of these shared experiences. This Father's Day, give the gift of time, connection, and cherished memories. Book your tee time or golf package today and embark on a journey that celebrates the enduring bond between father and child.
