There is one part of golf most golfers have mastered and it’s not putting or chipping, it is food and beverage on the fly and of course the postgame recap in the 19th hole. Food is an important part of golf with rounds lasting four to five hours you are going to need to fuel that beautiful swing. The Lake of the Ozarks offers some of the best food on the fairways. Keeping your stomach and cooler full on or off the course is not a problem at the Lake.
As America marks its 250th birthday this year, the spotlight falls on the places where the nation was born — the cobblestones of Philadelphia, the harbor at Boston, the fields of Yorktown. But the Revolution had a western edge that history has nearly forgotten, and it ran right through the river valleys now lying beneath Lake of the Ozarks. The Osage Nation’s trading network was the economic spine of Spanish Louisiana when Spain joined the colonists against Britain — and it was Osage country being fought over at the westernmost battle of the Revolutionary War, won on the Missouri frontier in 1780.
Two hundred fifty years of American independence didn’t happen in Washington, D.C. alone — it happened in communities like ours. Across Camden, Miller, and Morgan counties, men and women in uniform fought for those freedoms, and today their legacy lives on in the posts, auxiliaries, and patriotic societies that call the Lake of the Ozarks home. In this special America 250 issue, L•O PROFILE is proud to spotlight the organizations that serve our veterans, honor our history, and celebrate what it means to be American. Whether you’re a year-round resident or a Lake-lover who comes back every summer, these groups are your community — and they’d love to have you.
