ROUND 4 IN THE ORDER OF MERIT CHASE!

GTA AM TOUR COVID-19 RESPONSE PLAN

During the COVID-19 period, the GTA AM TOUR has prepared this document for the purpose of distribution to all players, Tour Team Members and host facilities to advocate the measures to be followed from the Provincial Government, Health Officials and Regional Authorities.

THE BEGINNING…..

Letters Patent for the Cherry Hill Club Limited were issued by the Ontario Provincial Secretary, on December 28,1922. Capital for the venture was set at $100,000 and nine prominent Buffalo citizens were the founders who acted as provisional directors. Each of the founders, with the possible exception of one, owned property on the Canadian shore of Lake Erie, in and around the Point Abino area. These men were listed in the original club documents as follows:

“Howard Bissell and Jesse Chase Dann, Bankers; Henry May, Capitalist; Walter Fleming Stafford and Roland Lord O’Brian, Brokers; Joseph Harrison Morey and Edward Emerson Coatsworth, Attorneys; John Fitzgerald Fairbairn, Physician; and Walton Olie King, Manufacturer; all Of the City of Buffalo, in the State of New York, One of the United States of America.” The stated purpose of the Club was : “To establish a country club for the encouragement of golf, tennis, bowling and other sports, and for the maintenance of a country place for social meeting and purposes of amusement, and to carry on any other business which may seem to the Company capable of being conveniently carried on in connection with its business, or calculated directly or indirectly to enhance the value of or render profitable any of the Company’s property or rights.”

The Club purchased two farms, which had been operated by the Barnhardt and Laur families. The Barnhardt property was known as Cherry Hill Farm, and its farm house was situated near the current Clubhouse site. The Laur property was to the east, and the original red brick farm house is now used as the Club Office.

Architect ,Walter J. Travis, was retained for a fee of $3000 to design the golf course. Much of the intent and make-up of Travis’ original design remains intact today, although the order of the nines was reversed early in the Club’s history, for unknown reasons.

COMING OF AGE…..

During the decades that followed the founding of the Club, Cherry Hill saw its share of financial challenges, but it remained a coveted retreat for both American members who summered on the Canadian lakeshore and prominent citizens from Southern Ontario. Efforts to build and maintain a proposed polo facility never materialized. Indeed, over time, Cherry Hill earned the reputation as a golf club and a social venue more so than what might commonly be termed as a “country club.” The inherent value of the Walter Travis design remained a valuable Club asset throughout the years. Despite the ravages of the Great Depression and later the hardships of World War II, the Club persevered. Because of its strong ties to the Buffalo area, the club has enjoyed a unique position as a Canadian club that is included among the Buffalo District Golf Association. Through the years the Club has been affiliated with Golf Ontario, Golf Canada, and the United States Golf Association . Recognition of the Club as an outstanding golf course was first evidenced by the selection of Cherry Hill as the site of the 1960 Ontario Open, by the Ontario Golf Association.

The Cherry Hill of 1960 bears little resemblance to today’s course, but as stated earlier, the inherent Travis design remains the unifying force that qualified the course as the site of the Ontario Open back in 1960, as well as making it the great course that it is today. Since that time, trees have matured, traps have been added, and holes have been lengthened. Aerial photographs from then and now show a dramatic difference in greenery as well as water holes and the benefits of modern irrigation methods. The purse for the Ontario Open totaled $5000 and the winning score of 275, or 13 under par was posted by Canadian professional, George Knudson. His final round of 66 would stand as the official tournament course record until the 1972 Canadian Open. It was his first professional win, and Knudson went on to a brilliant professional career. Gary Cowan, an amateur, came in second at 286, or two under par. Not only would Cowan go on to win two U.S. Amateur Championships, he also maintained a special relationship with Cherry Hill, playing in a number of the Club’s Invitational tournaments as a guest in subsequent years. During the 1960’s a program of modernization was begun on the course. This endeavor included the elimination of “chocolate drops”, which were Travis specified mounds that populated certain fairways, as well as renovation of some tees, lengthening of some holes and planting of trees. Dutch elm disease was also beginning to take its toll on the course. Noted Canadian golf course architect, Clinton E. “Robbie” Robinson contributed his ideas, and presented the club with a long term program for course improvement. Many of his suggestions are manifested in the course today.

THE MODERN ERA…..

Following the success of the 1972 Canadian Open, Cherry Hill was chosen to host another national event ten years later, this being the Canadian Professional Golfers’ Association Tournament, or CPGA, which was sponsored by Labatt’s Brewery. The membership rose to the occasion again, forming the many committees, and seeing to the myriad details required for such an event. The field consisted of 140 Canadian professionals, and six invited guests, including American Professionals, Ray Floyd, Jim Thorpe, Ben Crenshaw, Bob Charles, and .

As in 1972, the course played as a par 71, and after the last players had finished 72 holes, the two leaders were tied at one under par. Again, Cherry Hill had stood up respectably to some of the best players of the day. The two leaders who faced each other in a sudden-death playoff were Canadian, , and then Buffalo resident, Jim Thorpe, both of whom shared equally in the position of “hometown favorite”. Thorpe prevailed on the third hole of sudden-death by making birdie on number 17, in a most dramatic playoff. His earnings totaled $20,000.

Following the event, the Captain of the CPGA wrote a glowing letter of thanks to the Club, which included the following remarks: “As in 1972, the Cherry Hill Club has demonstrated that it can rise to the occasion and host a National/International Tournament of the first order and do so efficiently, effectively and graciously.

To all of you…, the sincere and heartfelt thanks of the members of the Canadian Professional Golfers’ Association for a job well and truly done.”

TODAY…..

Today Cherry Hill maintains a pleasant balance between the great traditions of the Club and the requirements of a modern-day golf course and facility for social events. Many have characterized Cherry Hill as a family club, and indeed it caters to the wishes of all aspects of the membership. The men’s golf experience at Cherry Hill includes the usual camaraderie, the popular Cherry Picker’s guest days, as well as Invitational tournaments that offer a unique Southern Ontario experience that is envied throughout the region. Ladies golf at Cherry Hill is well subscribed, and the women players have long been respected as dominant players in interclub and district events.

The Cherry Hill Junior golf program thrives, and has turned out many accomplished golfers, including mini-tour professional players and a two- time New York State Amateur Championship winner.

The golfing membership is capped at 400 members, and other categories of members, such as senior, social and successor members round out the membership. The golf season lasts as long as nature will allow, and the Clubhouse is vibrant with casual social activities from spring until late fall.

As Cherry Hill approaches its first century mark, the facility and the membership continue to live up to the stated purpose that the forward- thinking founding members established – a place to play golf and have fun, among friends.

CHERRY HILL GOLF CLUB - HOLE #1 (PAR 4)

The 1st at Cherry Hill is a classic opening hole that is not particularly difficult and very pleasing to the eye. Two bunkers guard the right side of the fairway and a magnificent oak tree, dating back to the early 1700´s, dominates the scene just short of the green on the left. The green has bunkers left and right and slopes from back to front. A putt toward the back of the green will break right, or toward the Niagara River, a fact that is true of many of the greens at Cherry Hill. was aware of this fact, and several times in the course of play, was heard to ask his caddie, “Where´s the River?”

A fine Par 4 with trees and rough on both sides from tee to green. There are bunkers staggered left and right in the landing area, and a wild shot to the left from the tee can end up on Kings Highway #3. An equally wild tee shot to the right can find a watery grave. Pin positions on the front left and right of the green are particularly difficult, as a ridge bisecting the green vexes players on approach shots as well as putts.

A delightful treelined short Par 4 with a daunting bunker that guards the right side landing area. The outstanding feature of the hole is the green with a deep swale which cuts diagonally across the middle of the putting surface. A putter whose ball is on the wrong side of the swale will likely have a difficult time in getting down in two. The green slopes severely from right to left, toward the river. Approach shots that miss to the right will often cost the player an added stroke.

This long, difficult Par 4 often plays into the prevailing wind and is the hardest hole on the course. Staggered fairway bunkers mandate a precise drive, but the left bunker is particularly penal due to its depth and severe mounding. The green is well bunkered and slopes from back to front. An approach shot that lands over the green presents a difficult chip shot, particularly when the pin is positioned at the back of the green. Ladies play this hole as a Par 5.

A fine Par 3 with water at the right front of the green, number 5 is the only hole without a bunker. It features a closely mown surrounding swale, which presents a variety of recovery options. The prevailing wind often pushes tee shots toward the water. The tendency of putts to break toward the Niagara River is most evident here at the fifth green. THIS IS THE GTA AM TOUR HOLE IN ONE COMPETITION!

A stout Par 5, number 6 is a dog leg left. A large tree on the left side of the fairway tempts the optimistic player to cut the corner by launching the tee shot over the venerable oak. An intimidating, severely mounded bunker complex guards the right side of the fairway. The green is well trapped and slopes severely from back to front. "WHERES THE RIVER?"

Number 7 is the most heavily bunkered hole on the course and requires accurate placement of every shot. There is a right side bunker severely encroaching the fairway, which must be carefully negotiated on the second shot. The green is well bunkered, but is relatively flat. During the 1972 Canadian Open and the 1982 Canadian PGA, this hole played as a Par 4 for a total Par of 71.

Number 8 has a signature elevated tee with the words "Cherry Hill Club" depicted in the form of sculpted greenery. It is a long Par 4 with a right side fairway bunker complex and two ominous ponds on the left. The 8th presents perhaps the most challenging tee shot on the course, as the landing area narrows the farther one drives the ball. The green slopes from back to front and from left to right, and can feature numerous challenging hole locations.

This is a brute of a Par 3, being long, uphill, and usually playing into the prevailing wind. The green is of the redan design with a deep bunker cutting into the left side of the green. A Par on this hole makes for a satisfying completion to the front nine. While the reason to change the order of the two nines early in the Club´s history remains uncertain, one can easily surmise that it was done to avoid ending the round with a hole so troublesome and humbling.

This straight downhill Par 4 has out-of-bounds all down the right side. There are trees, rough, and a fairway bunker down the left side. The green is large, well bunkered, and slopes insidiously from the front right to back left toward the Niagara River. Approach shots & putts will break sharply to the left and often end up in the "black hole" at the back left of the green. Approach shots missed to the right of the green result in drastic consequences.

#11 and #9 are among the two most difficult Par 3's found on any course. Years after the 1972 Canadian Open, still remembered the two holes, asking, "Have those two Par 3's gotten any easier?" #11 requires a fairly long tee shot to a small green with bunkers left and right and severely sloped from upper left to lower right. A small plateau in the back left corner is a favorite pin position and 2 putting from the lower right portion of the green is a monumental task.

This is a reasonably long Par 5 with O.B. all down the right and a pond which beckons your 2nd shot. There are bunkers on both sides of the green and a stand of pine trees behind it. The slope of the green from front to back adds to the difficulty of the hole. The 12th is the lowest ground on the course, but remains playable in all but the wettest periods due to diligent drainage measures on the fairway, and an efficient water removal system running between the 12th and 7th holes.

#13 is a deceptively short Par 4 that has been the scene of numerous disasters. There are bunkers on both sides with O.B. right running tee to green. The green is heavily bunkered with a narrow opening, a closely mown chipping area to the left, and O.B. fairly close to the back of the green. Statistics from the 1972 Canadian Open indicate #13 played the most difficult in relation to Par.

This is a long Par 4 with two intimidating bunkers on the left and and a lone bunker down the right. The 14th is a virtual Par 5 for those who dare to tee it up from the Black Tee. There is a gully which cuts across the fairway about 50 yards from the green. Although it is not really in play, out-of-bounds runs down the right side. This hole plays as a Par 5 for Ladies.

The most outstanding feature of this dogleg left Par 4 is a large pond that frames the entire left side of the fairway and cuts in front of the green. The green itself is in two levels, the rear being much higher than the front. With the hole cut in the front of the green, more than one player has putted from the upper level and ended up in the water.

This is an attractive Par 3 to a slightly elevated green and is handicapped as the easiest hole on the course. There is a large, high-faced bunker all across the front of the green. Two hidden bunkers guarding the left and rear of the green capture many an errant shot. The green itself presents a problem in that the rear is considerably higher than the front.

This is a long dogleg right Par 4 with strategically placed mounds and bunkers both left and right. The green is also well-bunkered and slopes sharply from back to front. An approach shot that ends up behind the green can easily cost the player a stroke. Putts from the back of the green are equally problematic. Conversely, average players putting to a back pin rarely find it in themselves to get the ball up the slope to the hole, often leaving a lengthy Par putt.

This marvelous finishing hole presents Birdie possibilities, unless your playing the tips. Otherwise, 18 is a medium length Par 5 with an uphill approach and deep bunkers right of the green. Putting from the front of the green toward the rear, the ball breaks to the right -- toward the Niagara River. Some of the most severe breaking putts on the entire course can be produced on this green, so make sure to sink that winning putt!

Itdevelops thegood qualities ofaman’s nature andsoftens thepoor ones.” “As adisciplinarian andestablisher ofcharacter,it is without apeer. It cultivates patience and endurance under adversity and yet keeps constantly alive the fires of hope. It is a leveler of ranks and classes: rich and poor alike meet on common ground. Skill at it cannot be purchased except by application, concentration, hard work, much travail ofspirit andundying faith—all ofwhich really represent a labor of love. It has saved thousands of lives,and broadened,sweetened and enriched the minds and dispositions of many thousands more. It hasgivenbirthtoandfirmly cemented friendships without number.” “It is thebest, asit is thefairest ofalloutdoor pastimes —and it may beplayed from cradle tothegrave.” (The American Golfer, Feb. 1910)

Kind of sums up what the GTA AM TOUR is all about!
