A person who does not reside in the MGA territory, and who is not a full-time student or employed in the MGA territory, cannot join an MGA Member Club for the purpose of entering the Met Amateur Championship. All entrants must have a current USGA Handicap Index not to exceed 5.0 under the Men’s USGA Handicap System and are subject to the MGA Rules and Regulations. Format of Play 18-hole sectional qualifying. Qualifiers then play 36 holes of on-site qualifying to determine the 16 players who advance to match play. Championship Schedule Thursday, July 30 . .36-hole stroke play qualifying to determine 16 match play qualifiers Friday, July 31 . .Round of 16 and quarterfinals Saturday, August 1 . .Semifinals Sunday, August 2 . .36-hole final History of the Met Amateur The Met Amateur, the MGA’s oldest championship, was played for the first time in 1899 at Garden City Golf Club and quickly became the country’s most distinguished regional amateur championship. The longevity of the “Met Am” is rivaled in this country only by the U.S. Amateur and Western Amateur. The original championship plate was donated by H.B. Hollins, with the condition that it be retired after three victories by representatives of the same club, a feat accomplished for Nassau Country Club by Findlay Douglas (two wins) and Jerry Travers. The subsequent trophy was a gift of then-MGA president Daniel Chauncey. The Met Amateur immediately set a lofty precedent for quality. Its first two winners, Herbert Harriman (1899) and Walter Travis (1900), also were that year’s U.S. Amateur champions. Two early rivalries — first between Travis and Douglas, then Travis and Travers — garnered national attention. In subsequent years the Met Amateur has been won by the likes of Jess Sweetser, Willie Turnesa, Ray Billows, Robert Gardner, Dick Siderowf, Frank Strafaci, George Zahringer III, Johnson Wagner, and Jerry Courville Sr. and Jr. — all top names in the history of amateur golf. Three Met Amateur champions, Zahringer III, Courville Jr. and Ken Bakst, have also won the U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship. The Met Amateur has always been played at match play, with only slight format changes over the years. It remains the Met Area’s most important amateur event — a demanding, sometimes grueling test of championship golf with the victor surviving multiple days of 36-hole competition.

In 1890, Keller bought 477 acres at the foot of New Jersey’s Baltusrol Mountain, and in May of 1895 hired George Hunter to lay out a short nine-hole course there. Subsequently, a meeting was held in Manhattan at which the Baltusrol Golf Club was organized. Baltusrol’s original course was expanded to 18 holes prior to the 1898 season, then revised in 1905 to form Founded: what the club refers to as the “Old Course.” It hosted the 1895 1903 and 1915 U.S. Opens and 1904 U.S. Amateur. Course Opened: By 1917 the Old Course had become antiquated and 1922 overcrowded, so the club purchased the 146 acres over Architect: A.W. Tillinghast which the Old Course was laid out from Keller, and an Upper Course: additional 172 acres to the west. The following year, A.W. Par: 71 Tillinghast was hired to design two new courses on the Yardage: 6,839 property. He would finish four years later, in June 1922, a Course Rating: 74.7 few months after Keller’s death. Slope: 147 Those two courses have since hosted numerous national championships, including the 1936, 1954, 1967, 1980, and 1993 U.S. Opens, the 1926 and 2000 U.S. Amateurs, and the 2005 PGA Championship. The Upper Course was the site of the 1936 U.S. Open. In 2016, the Upper Course will host the PGA Championship. 112th Met Amateur Championship The Creek, Locust Valley, N.Y. Thursday-Sunday, July 31-August 3 Unpredictable weather brought on new challenges each day and stroke play result - ed in some of the toughest match ups en route to the finals. In the end, the battle came down to David Pastore of Griff Harris Men’s Club and Matthew Lowe of Colonial Springs. Pastore was 2-up at the 35th hole, where Lowe’s tee-shot, landing just a few feet from the hole, seemed like it would force a showdown on the final hole. In an unexpected twist, Pastore’s tee- shot rolled delicately into the hole, giving Pastore an unprecedented hole-in-one walk off victory to claim the Met Amateur title and end the Championship in dramatic fashion. ~Final~ David Pastore def.

  • Master Plan Introduction and Course History Since 1894, When Tin Cans
    Master Plan Introduction and Course History Since 1894, when tin cans were first placed in the ground near the Fenwick Hall, golf has been played in Fenwick. A full nine-hole golf course was opened in1896 and, for over one hundred years, it has provided pleasure to golfers of all ages and abilities. This Strategic Master Plan establishes a framework for maintenance and potential improvements consistent with the history, design and links-style nature of the course. The Strategic Master Plan, as defined in the Mission Statement adopted by the Board of Warden and Burgesses, “will outline for each hole the purpose of the architectural design, highlighting where the current design promotes or occasionally conflicts with the links nature of the course and the other attributes described above. The Strategic Master Plan will also establish maintenance guidelines to ensure the health of the turf and playability of the golf course.” The Board of Warden and Burgesses has requested that the Strategic Master Plan Narrative for Fenwick Golf Course “will include an overview of the golf course and the direction in which it should move forward, embracing its long history; a review of the course agronomics that includes ways to improve the health of the turf as well as methods to save money and a review of architectural alterations dating back to the early 1930s . including a hole-by-hole assessment that will provide suggested modifications to improve the Fenwick Golf Course and make the course more enjoyable and challenging for players across a broad spectrum of abilities.” This Plan has two principal goals.

  • Playing Hickory Golf While You Piece Together a Vintage Set
    CHAPTER 10 cmyk 4/11/08 5:13 PM Page 165 Chapter Title CHAPTER 10 Questions And Answers About Hickory Golf Q: How much does it cost to get started in hickory golf? A: You can purchase inexpensive hickory clubs for as little as $25 each. Obviously, these are not likely to be of a premium quality and will probably require work to make them playable. At Classic Golf, we offer fully restored Tom Stewart irons for about $150 each with a one-year warranty on the shafts against breakage. Our restored woods are about $250 each for the premium examples. So, a ten-club set with two woods would run $1,700. A 14-club set would be $2,300. This compares favorably with the purchase of a premium modern 14-club set where your irons are $800, your driver is $400, fairway wood $200, two wedges at $125 each, hybrid at $150, and a putter at $200 for a total of $2,000. Q: Can a beginner or high handicap golfer play hickory golf? A: Yes. That is how it was done 100 years ago! It can be an advantage starting golf with clubs that require a more precise swing. Q: Are there reproduction clubs available and are they allowed in hickory tournaments? A: Reproduction clubs are available from Tad Moore, Barry Kerr, and Louisville Golf. Every tournament has its own set of rules. The National Hickory Championship allows reproductions because pre-1900 clubs are so difficult to find and are very expensive. At the present time there are ample supplies of vintage clubs available for play, but this could change with the increasing popularity of hickory golf.
