Though Firestone & Robertson Distilling Co., vowed to preserve some of the Fort Worth, Texas club’s history, the estates of Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan asked the owners not to include images of the golf icons, as Nelson was a “a Christian and a gentleman and did not drink alcoholic beverages.”

A rezoning request for the Fort Worth, Texas property has been approved by the city council, despite vocal opposition from residents.

The historic property in Fort Worth, Texas, where Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson learned the game, is under contract to be sold to a craft whiskey producer that says it needs to expand operations and create a meeting center. The golf course, or part of it, could be preserved as part of a tourist attraction.
