    Celebrating Our Heritage, Preserving Our Future RCC Heritage Tournament July 11, 2020 Start Spreading the News Reading Times, November 4, 1922 olf was new to Berks County in the 1920s. Berkshire Country G Club built the county’s first golf course in 1898 near Carsonia Park and the Galen Hall resort hotel opened nine holes designed by Alexander Findlay in 1911. The game caught on quickly to the point that Reading Country Club was chartered in 1922. The announce- ment was greeted with great interest in the Berks community. RCC held its first membership din- ner on March 15, 1923, at The Berkshire Hotel in Reading. Alexander Findlay, the golf course designer, spoke to the mem- bers as did former Governor William Sproul and Mayor John Stauffer. These articles are just a few of the stories about RCC that appeared in the Times and the Eagle. Reading Times, May 24, 1923 Reading Eagle, May 28, 1924 Reading Times, September 5, 1922 Home Looted, Ball Missing n August 7, 1929, the Reading Times reported a theft at the home of John O Rader, a professor at Reading High School, who said his home was entered while he was away. Although the home was ransacked, Rader told police only one item was missing: a golf ball. But not just any golf ball. Rader had the ball mounted on a plaque after he used it to make a hole-in-one at RCC. Rader was club champion in 1931 and ‘32. The Galtere Family • Be Awesome, Exeter! Copyright © 2020 by Thomas R.

  • The Happy Golfer
    The Happy Golfer By Henry Leach The Happy Golfer CHAPTER I THE SEVEN WONDERS OF GOLF, AND THE ABIDING MYSTERY OF THE GAME, WITH A THOUGHT UPON TRADITIONS AND THEIR VALUE. The first of the seven wonders of golf is a mysterious fascination that it sets towards mankind, from which, overwhelming and enduring, no people are immune. The game seizes men of all ages, of every nationality, all occupations, dispositions, temperaments—all of them. The charm acts upon men and women alike. Sometimes we have suspected that males are more whole-hearted golfers; but there are circumstances of quick recurrence to cause a doubt, and even were there none the fancied difference would be capable of explanation. It has nearly become an established rule that they golf the most who golf the last, for there is no man of the links so keen, so simple and humble in his abandonment to the game, as he who but lately held aloof and laughed, with many a gibe upon the madness of the class. Savages have attempted golf and found they liked it, and the finest intellects are constantly exercised upon its difficulties. So this diversion, pastime, game has become a thing of everywhere and everybody as no other sport of any kind has ever done. The number of people who play no golf decreases daily, and events of the last ten years have shown that its supremacy as the chief of games is sure. It is clear, indeed, that, so far as the numbers attached to it are concerned, it is still only at its beginning, in toddling infancy.
