The lowcountry of the Carolinas and Georgia—a sultry region of stoic live oaks, dank pine-tree jungles and sunbaked stretches of intracoastal marsh—is one of the country’s most distinctive environments. Located primarily on remote and difficult to access barrier islands, the lowcountry remained almost entirely unexplored by residential and resort developments until the early 1960s. Arnold Read more…
The emergence of LIV Golf has caused unprecedented fracture and turmoil at the top of the men’s game these past few years.
