Gibson, president of Manufacturer’s Trust, was Iapproached by a Locust Valley neighbor with the idea of forming a club and building a private golf course on a nearby piece of property. Gibson asked the preeminent golf architect Charles Blair Macdonald to evaluate the site’s potential as a golf course. With Macdonald’s enthusiastic response, Gibson formed an organizing committee of eleven very distinguished Long Island sportsmen. They named the club after Frost Creek, an inlet of Long Island Sound that was to play a significant role in the character of the first five holes on the back nine. Macdonald’s course at The Creek was built by Founded: 1922 Seth Raynor, who was aided by Alex Balfour of Carnoustie.

Michael McGovern Hackensack Golf Club MET AMATEUR 111th Met Amateur Championship The Stanwich Club, Greenwich, Conn. August 1-4, 2013 Runner-Up Trevor Randolph (left) and Champion Pat Wilson Pat Wilson of Panther Valley captured his first MGA victory in spectacular fashion when he defeated Trevor Randolph of Arcola, 8 & 7, in the finals at the 111th Met Amateur Championship at The Stanwich Club in Greenwich, Conn. Wilson, who recently graduated from St. John’s University, took control of the 36-hole final early on, racing out to a 7-up lead through the first 9 holes. His MGA championship experience enabled him to weather the storm when Randolph seized momentum on the back 9 to diminish Wilson’s lead to only 2-up. Wilson kept his cool, though, and held the lead to close out the match with the largest margin of victory since 1960. ~Final~ Pat Wilson, Panther Valley def.

The “Met Am” is rivaled for longevity 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 Two-Time Met Am Champion Douglas, then Travis and Travers — gave the tournament Johnson Wagner 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.

  • 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.

Golf, the Flag, and the 1917 Western Amateur By Stephen R. Lowe Within hours of the horrifying events of Tuesday, September 11, 2001, President Bush told the nation that it had just entered its first war of the new century. For days afterward, little else seemed to matter. Our sports-crazed nation approved the cancellation of professional team schedules through the following weekend. The PGA Tour cancelled its event as well, and the long-anticipated Ryder Cup matches, where the European squad looked to settle their Brookline beef at the Belfry, became another quick casualty. Those early cancellations of sports events were easy calls. The following week, though, baseball, football, golf, and everything else American began again, if sometimes awkwardly. The role of sports in times so serious as war has always been tricky. When is it okay to play? As Americans fight the first war of a new century, golf fans may find some helpful perspective in the first war of the last one.

  • 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.

  • Joe Norwood, the Man and His Swing by Dan Norwood Joe Was Born
    Joe Norwood, The Man and His Swing By Dan Norwood Joe was born January, 1892 in Boston Massachusetts. He lost his mother and father at an early age. His first job was as a paper boy. In 1905, when he was 13 he got a job in the golf department in the sporting goods store Wright and Ditson. George Wright was an early-day pro ball player who was later elected to the baseball’s Hall of Fame. In the 1860s and 1870s, Wright played shortstop for the Cincinnati Red Stockings and later the Boston Red Stockings. In 1869 he hit a whopping .633 with 49 home runs in 57 games. After baseball, he founded Wright & Ditson, a sporting goods equipment manufacturer that was instrumental in making tennis and hockey popular in the U.S. Wright also laid out New England’s - and America's - first public golf course, Boston’s Franklin Park in 1890. Wright and Ditson imported and sold golf clubs. Francis Ouimet and Joe Norwood worked at the same store. Alexander H. Findlay was the manager of the golf department. Alexander Findlay ranks among the game's greatest players. Among his many golfing feats, Findlay was the first golfer in history to record a 72, or an average of four strokes a hole over 18 holes; this he accomplished in a championship match in Montrose, Scotland held August 6, 1886, when he was only twenty years old. Findlay is thus credited by golf historians with establishing the standard score for par (72) on a regulation course. Prior to Findlay's score the standard or target score (par) for 18 holes was an average of four and one-half strokes a hole, or 81.

  • Chicago Golf Club
    INFORMATION FOR GUESTS Historical Notes The Chicago Golf Club was founded in 1892 by Charles Blair Macdonald and other prominent Chicagoans who wanted to play the game they had experienced during their travels to Scotland. The USGA recognizes the original course they built in Belmont (now Downers Grove) as the first 18-hole course in the United States. In 1895, Chicago Golf opened Macdonald’s new course, built on more spacious land that the Club had acquired in Wheaton. Macdonald, who also became the first U.S. Amateur Champion, wanted the course built in keeping with the style and tradition of the great courses in Britain. Macdonald’s belief that trees were not an appropriate hazard opened great vistas across the course and subjected play to the vagaries of the wind. Macdonald evolved this style over the next quarter century as he became the first golf course architect of renown in the U.S. At Macdonald’s suggestion, Chicago Golf was redesigned by his protégé Seth Raynor, with the new course opening in 1923. Chicago Golf’s 21st century course is still Raynor’s original design. The “modern” course features several prototype Macdonald/Raynor holes that are considered among their best – the “Road Hole” 2nd, the “Biarritz” 3rd, the “Redan” 7th, “Punchbowl” 12th were modeled on the great holes in European golf, while the “Cape” 4th and 14th holes were based on an original Macdonald/Raynor design. James Foulis from St. Andrews, Scotland, was the Club’s first professional. An excellent player and clubmaker, Foulis won the second U.S.
