    Heroes & Legends

    Although decades have passed, reminders of World War II can still be found in beaches, pastures, towns, and cities across Europe. This journey includes poignant visits to museums, memorials, and battle sites where Allied forces fought bravely for the freedoms we enjoy today. For golf enthusiasts, it also includes coveted tee times on courses in the Normandy region of France and the breathtaking lowlands of Scotland, and a ticket to the final round of the 2018 Open Championship. Golf was hardly just a game when World War II ended—it signaled an attempt to return to normalcy in the postwar period, a return to pastimes largely forgotten in the chaos of a world at war.
