The team to beat

Cypress Lake Country Club, 50th Anniversary, Fort Myers Golfing

about to start to playing

Cypress Lake Country Club, the second oldest club in Fort Myers, just celebrated 50 years in Southwest Florida. Founded by some of golf’s greats like Patty Berg and Gene Sarazan, the club has been and continues to be host to numerous golf pros. The course and club opened for play on February 22, 1961 with just nine holes, but by July 1962 all eighteen holes were open. In 1966 it was declared fully playable and named among the 200 toughest courses in the United States by Golf Digest. Just six short years later, it became fully private in May 1972. Fast forward a bit and in 2001, Ron Garl, the creative and prolific course architect oversaw the renovation of the course. Maximizing the unique characteristics of the natural landscape and course, Garl’s work truly reflected the original style Wilson employed when constructing it. Legends once walked the course which was designed in 1959 by Dick Wilson. Originally in the outskirts of town, the golf course is now considered conveniently located, in South Fort Myers, drawing members from all over Southwest Florida and beyond, with members from 29 states.

Outdoors on Fort Myers Beach, Fort Myers FL

It was to nice to spend the day inside the office, so I used the afternoon to take some outdoor photos. The first place that came to mind was Fort Myers Beach, it was sunny, warm and people were all around. I think the biggest perk of living in Fort Myers is being so close to the beach, it is so nice when you only have to drive a couple minutes to get to the white sands of Southwest Florida! - Max Soto.

    The Search for the Skunk Ape a.k.a Big Foot. We at the Fort Myers Daily, talked with business owner and amateur cryptozoologist, Brian Podlasek about his history of field investigations of this mystical creature. Brian has been looking for big foot in Montana and all around the globe. He believes, as the cold weather approaches, the big foot will begin it’s migration south to the warm weather of wetlands of Fort Myers. It’s speculated that Southwest FL, is the breading grounds for these creatures. According to his research, the big foot should be on it’s long travel down south. Above, Brian found Chewbacca at a bar stop, believed to be a the descendant of Big Foot. Click below to see more pictures of Brian and his colleagues on their last research expedition. Email us if you are interested in helping Brian make history as they find this year.
