Let's say you've recently moved to the area, and you've been thinking about joining a golf club. You've probably tried out all of the best public courses in Palm Beach County (and/or Martin County), and maybe you've played as a guest at a few private courses. Or, maybe you're already a member at a local club and just want to shake it up by playing some new tracks.

The first day of a golf tournament isn't typically the most memorable, but this morning (Thursday 2/27), history was made at PGA National. Jake Knapp (who finished tied for 4th at last year's Cognizant Classic the week after earning his first PGA TOUR win at the Mexico Open) has shot a bogey-free, 12-under-par, 59. With that, Knapp becomes only the 14th player on TOUR to ever play a round under 60 and the first to do it at an event in the state of Florida. He also broke the single-round record for this tournament, which was 61, set by Brian Harman in 2012.
