The history
On the final hole of the 1969 Ryder Cup Match at Royal Birkdale in England, Jack Nicklaus stunned the golf world by conceding a two-foot putt to Tony Jacklin, for the first of only two ties in Ryder Cup history. Today, that gesture is considered one of the finest acts of sportsmanship in golf history and has inspired one of America’s great residential country clubs, The Concession. Located on Florida's Gulf Coast, amid ancient oak hammocks, only 236 magnificent homes will grace the 1,200-acre reserve. This extraordinary private community is a worthy complement to the unique experience of The Concession Golf Club and its Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course (in association with Tony Jacklin).
