highlighting the greatest moments in the game's history, with a particular focus on USGA champions and championships. The Spirit of Championship Golf A six-minute introductory film – The Spirit of Championship Golf – brings visitors into the world of USGA championships, exploring the physical, mental, and emotional skills required to excel at the game's highest level. The program comprises interviews with USGA national champions, including some of the game's most popular players such as Hale Irwin, Peter Jacobsen, Nancy Lopez, Arnold Palmer, and Annika Sörenstam. The Hall of Champions The Hall of Champions, the signature architectural space in the Arnold Palmer Center for Golf History, celebrates every USGA champion and championship to date. The oval rotunda, illuminated by a clerestory, houses all 13 USGA national championship trophies, while the names of every USGA champion, such as eight-time winners Bobby Jones and Tiger Woods, are inscribed on bronze panels that encircle the room. Permanent Galleries The Permanent Galleries in the USGA Museum tell the story of golf in America, from the late 19th century to the present. Each gallery focuses on an era and iconic moment – champions and events in the game's history that are pivotal for understanding the growth, evolution, and significance of the game in U.S. history. Special rooms are dedicated to Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan, and Arnold Palmer. The Pynes Putting Course The Pynes Putting Course is a , nine-hole facility that allows visitors to test their putting skills over the course's humps and swales with replica antique clubs and balls from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The course was inspired by the world-renowned Himalayas Putting Green at St Andrews Links in Scotland. Starting positions for each hole are marked. Par is not indicated on the course scorecard but two-putts are well-earned. The Pynes Putting Course is open to visitors during regular museum hours annually from April to October, weather permitting. Museum visitors receive a souvenir square-mesh golf ball and can choose from replicas of four classic putters, such as Bobby Jones’ famous Calamity Jane II, to play the nine-hole course that is altered on a weekly basis.
