  • 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.

  • 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.
