The second round of the Lessing's AJGA Classic has just ended and and this is one of the more unique courses we have been at. First off the club has 54 holes of golf. This is rare, FECC has three full golf courses. They are all nice, and with all the land FECC has its an interesting place to walk around at.
When I was walking around the clubhouse on Sunday I walked right by Rory Mcllroy. Needless to say it was a bit of a surprise. Just not someone I was expecting to see that day. It was quite interesting and cool to see one of the best in the world in the office right next to ours. Apparently he was there for a Nike photo shoot on one of the three FECC courses.
FECC has rivers running through their grounds. Its quite interesting landscape and makes for great courses. As interesting as their land is, the name of the course may be even more interesting. Here is a post I wrote about the name for the AJGA Blog.
Naming rights-
Country clubs can be unique in a
number of different ways. The course conditions, greens, bunkers, food, tennis,
or even the pools. The most unique part of Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club might
be in the name. Fiddler’s Elbow rolls off the tongue and makes people think
when they hear it. However the story of the name is nothing complex. In 1965
Ray Donovan and Ron Schiavone were up in a plane scouting land for a golf
course that they wanted to start. While in the air the looked at a bend in the
river on the land and said “that bend looks like a fiddler’s elbow.” When they
touched down they decided two things. One the land was perfect for the golf
course they were trying to build, and two fiddlers elbow would be a perfect
name for a country club. In 1965 Donovan, who was the 17th United
States Secretary of Labor under Ronald Reagan, and partner Schiavone put up 27
holes on what they would call Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club. In 1995 they added
18 more, and in 2013 the club has 54 holes and is under construction to put in
a pool and tennis courts.
