National Fourball 1970 (golfartgallery.com)

From the collection on the walls of the Laurel Valley Golf Club you will find this classic shot of Arnie and Jack as pards in the National Four Ball in 1970.  Get the feeling these guys were intense competitors even as partners?  Arnie’s fingerprints are all over this club-it was his summer hangout through most of his career.

U.S. Ryder Cup Team 1975 (rydercup.com)

This is a period piece for sure-U.S. Ryder Cup Team from the 1975 competition at Laurel Valley Golf Club.  The team includes Jack, Hale Irwin, Lee Trevino, Arnie, Bob Murphy, Raymond Floyd, Billy Casper, Tom Weiskopf, and a very young Johnny Miller.  There is so much tradition just oozing around this place.
