    Met Open Championship Presented by Callaway 103rdAugust 21 - 23, 2018 Wykagyl Country Club History of the Met Open Championship Presented by Callaway From its inception in 1905 through the 1940 renewal, the Met Open was considered one of the most prestigious events in golf, won by the likes of Gene Sarazen, Walter Hagen, Johnny Farrell, Tommy Armour, Paul Runyan, Byron Nelson, and Craig Wood, in addition to the brothers Alex and Macdonald Smith (who together captured seven Met Opens, with Alex winning a record four times). The second edition of the championship was hosted and sponsored by Hollywood Golf Club, when George Low won in 1906. After an eight-year hiatus overlapping World War II, the Met Open became more of a regional championship, won by many of the top local club professionals, among them Claude Harmon, Jimmy Wright, Jim Albus, David Glenz, Bobby Heins and Darrell Kestner, not to mention such storied amateurs as Chet Sanok, Jerry Courville Sr., George Zahringer III, Jim McGovern, Johnson Wagner, and Andrew Svoboda. The purse was raised to a record $150,000 in 2007, giving the championship added importance. In 2015 the MGA celebrated a major milestone in marking the championship’s 100th playing, won by Ben Polland at Winged Foot Golf Club. In 2017, The MGA welcomed a new Championship Partner, Callaway Golf. Callaway Golf is the presenting sponsor of the Met Open Championship. Eligibility The competition is open to golfers who are: 1. Past MGA Open Champions. 2. PGA Members in good standing in the Metropolitan and New Jersey PGA Sections.

    2015 NEW ENGLAND PGA SECTION CHAMPIONSHIP PLAYER INFORMATION PACKET CONCORD COUNTRY CLUB NASHAWTUC COUNTRY CLUB AUGUST 17-19, 2015 PRESENTED BY SUPPORTED BY 95TH NEPGA SECTION CHAMPIONSHIP Concord Country Club ♦ Nashawtuc Country Club August 17-19, 2015 LETTER FROM DAVE POPLYK Dear Fellow NEPGA Professionals, Welcome to Concord Country Club and the 95th playing of the New England PGA Section Championship. Concord Country Club has a history as rich as the town it sits in, and we look forward to adding another chapter to the history of our club. The club was initially founded in 1795 by nearly 19 members of the community and first built a clay tennis court in 1900. It hired golf course architect Donald Ross to design the first nine holes in 1913, and later constructed a swimming pool by damming a brook near the seventh hole in 2015, which can still be seen today. Now, the course boasts 18 championship holes that play at roughly 6,700 yards and reminds players of a vintage Ross design. The last time the Section Championship was contested at Concord, Chip Johnson defeated Kirk Hanefeld in a playoff to deny him of three Section Championship wins in a row. We anticipate our course will provide another exciting finish this time around. Along with the entire Concord CC staff, I would like to wish all competitors great success in this year’s New England PGA Section Championship. Enjoy your time in Concord. All the best, David Poplyk, PGA Head Golf Professional Concord Country Club 95TH NEPGA SECTION CHAMPIONSHIP Concord Country Club ♦ Nashawtuc Country Club August 17-19, 2015 LETTER FROM CHRIS CARPENTER 95TH NEPGA SECTION CHAMPIONSHIP Concord Country Club ♦ Nashawtuc Country Club August 17-19, 2015 LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear New England PGA Professional, Thank you for participating in the 2015 NEPGA Championship/PNC.

  • 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.
