Keith Flatt Flatt is a longtime Las Vegas golf professional, instructor, player, course owner and operator, and is the only Las Vegas Golf Hall of Fame inductee who has had a movie created about his life story. “The Squeeze” was released in 2015 and depicted Flatt’s early Vegas life as a golf gambler and hustler. It was filmed at Wynn Las Vegas and directed by esteemed sports producer Terry Jastrow. According to junior golf and amateur association leaders, Flatt is always there to support the grassroots of golf and offer his courses for play. Flatt also oversees Elite Golf Management.
