Here's a BIG rolex for ya...

I am fortunate enough to play golf out at The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island in Charleston, SC and for those that have never been out there
1) It's awesome
2) You'll be seeing a lot of it in August since that's where the PGA Championship is this year...

This greets you at the clubhouse...

Of course, you just need to make sure it has Etur endlinks...

That's quite a nice clock!

I wonder if it is manual or auto wind or even possibly quartz.!

The course has to have hosted (or will host) a "Major" (i.e. U.S. Open or PGA Championship).
