Haig Point was the first golf course and golf course community featured in the first publication of Links Magazine (then titled Southern Links), the March/April 1988 issue. Links also featured the Palm Beach Polo Golf and Country Club and an interview with Gary Player in this first issue. Celebrating its twentieth anniversary, Links featured Haig Point again in its July/August 2008 publication. The eighth hole "Calibogue" green of Haig Point's Signature Course was featured on the cover of the July/August 2008 issue.
Pat Conroy's book, The Water is Wide, is a recounting of the year (1969) he spent as a teacher on Daufuskie Island teaching at the Mary Field School. With generous contributions from Haig Point members, other Daufuskie residents and various Lowcountry organizations, the school has been preserved as a community center.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“All official institutions of language are repeating machines: school, sports, advertising, popular songs, news, all continually repeat the same structure, the same meaning, often the same words: the stereotype is a political fact, the major figure of ideology.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
“Why is it so difficult to see the lesbian—even when she is there, quite plainly, in front of us? In part because she has been “ghosted”Mor made to seem invisible—by culture itself.... Once the lesbian has been defined as ghostly—the better to drain her of any sensual or moral authority—she can then be exorcised.”
—Terry Castle, U.S. lesbian author. The Apparitional Lesbian, ch. 1 (1993)
