2. Henry Middleton (October 1774)The second president of the United States was one of the wealthiest planters in the South from one of the most powerful families in the nation. Henry Middleton was also a plantation owner and public official from South Carolina.
In 2000, the Jolliffe brothers opened the first TopGolf location in Watford, just outside London. By 2007, they had opened two more in England and three in the United States (Chicago, Dallas and Alexandria, Va.). What followed was a change in ownership and an era of rapid expansion.
The Jolliffe brothers sold the company to a group of private investors in 2011, and TopGolf has since undergone a major rebranding with a renewed emphasis on food, drinks and fun. âIt is a wildly popular concept,â Shor said of TopGolf, which expects to open 10 more locations this year and 12 more in 2016. âWeâve been really blessed as a company to have such a great customer base and a great following.â
