Meehan, Jr. preserve the game we love. Since its inception, the Association Huntingdon Valley Country Club has conducted championships and monitored compliance with Vice-President: the Rules of Golf. Over the years, we have expanded the tourna - Mr. J. Clark O’Donoghue ment schedule, provided educational seminars, offered handicap Riverton Country Club services, conducted course ratings and collected memorabilia to Treasurer: preserve our history. Mr. Frank E. Rutan, IV Just as we have since our very first year, the Association Philadelphia Cricket Club GAP President Rich Meehan started its 113th golf season with our GAP Team Matches. A Secretary: total of 312 teams from 127 member clubs with 3,744 players competed on three week - Mr. Christopher J. Terebesi ends in late April and early May this year. The GAP Team Matches or Interclub Matches, as Chester Valley Golf Club they originally were named, appeared to be the primary reason that representatives of General Counsel: Merion Cricket Club, Aronimink Golf Club, Philadelphia Country Club and Philadelphia Mr. A. Fred Ruttenberg Cricket Club formed the Association. The matches are unique among golf associations and Woodcrest Country Club are believed to be the largest team match competition of its type. Executive Committee: Education continues to be a priority for the Association. Stephen Koytek, our Caddie- Mr. J. Kenneth Croney Scholar of the Year, confirmed our commitment to scholarships for caddies when he told Sunnybrook Golf Club fellow caddie-scholars at our Annual Brunch that he would not have been able to attend Mr. John C. Holsten college without a scholarship. North Hills Country Club responded to the educational needs Aronimink Golf Club of caddies and the desires of the Trust by hosting the inaugural J. Wood Platt Invitational. Mr. Andy M. Karff Philmont Country Club Golf in Philadelphia received a boost from the USGA this year. Association volunteers Mr. John M. LeBoeuf and Member Clubs were in the spotlight when the USGA held the Walker Cup at Merion Philadelphia Country Club Golf Club and the U.S. Women's Open Championship at Saucon Valley Country Club.

John Capers, Merion Golf Club's archivist was right: we have discovered Whitford Country Club interesting, rare and valuable treasures of our 113-year history as an Association. Generous Ex-Officio Association members have made wonderful contributions to the collection. Mr. Jack C. Endicott Numbers do not tell the whole story. While the Association completed a year with Manufacturers Golf & Country Club increased tournament participation over last year, our Member Clubs are feeling the effects of the economy. Average memberships at clubs in the Association fell by 5.5 percent. Dues increased, guest rounds are down, member play is down and restaurant activity is off at many clubs. This is a challenging time for golf but many member clubs are offering more creative membership categories at less cost in order to attract the next generation of golfers. Communication to Member Clubs is a daily activity at the Association and continues through our magazine, Web site and handicap newsletter emails (Erevisions). We strive to Executive Offices: provide best practice information as well as Association news and tournament results on a 1974 Sproul Road, Suite 400, Broomall, PA 19008 timely basis.

  • Cubed Circle Newsletter 241 – Consistency Is Hard
    Cubed Circle Newsletter 241 – Consistency is Hard As many of probably noticed, we have been posting late and sporadically for the last month. This was, obviously, not our intention, but with the second semester eating into my free time, staying up to date is a tall order. Even without the newsletter itself seeing weekly publication the site has still remained up to date on a weekly basis, thanks primarily to co-author Ben Carass, as well as guest writers Paul Cooke and Leslie Lee III. But, the newsletter has survived for well over 241 weeks, and will hopefully thrive in the years to come. I have attempted to make provisions for publishing related tasks which should minimize the risk of major delays (obviously there will be some regular delays, as this late issue can attest), but we have some fail safes in place in order to keep this to a minimum. With all of this said, we have a great issue for everyone this week with Paul Cooke discussing the Pro-Wrestling Only Greatest Wrestler Ever project and his personal experience with the poll, Ben covers the news including tons of results from Japan and the Lesnar USADA violation, the Mixed Bag returns with a look at comedy wrestling, Ricochet/Ospreay, and a potential WWE match of the year -- plus Ben also looks at last Sunday's Battleground show and the first RAW of the brand split (a very good show). Also, for those unaware, we now have an official Twitter account @CubedCircleWres allowing the banger to unprecedented highs at @BenCarass and @RyanClingman.

Hope everyone else had a good weekend outside of podcast land. I just got back from a trip out West to Humptulips, Washington. Unfortunately, uh, I had to go and attend a family funeral. Uh, seems like every time you’re in the military or if you work away from your hometown- the only time you’re able to visit your hometown and your family and friends are funerals and weddings, which sucks-sucks a lot. The last two have been funerals- the next one will be a wedding and I am gonna be excited for that. So, shout out to my family out there. A couple of reviews and comments since I’ve been gone. Uh, first one is from goodhumorfan- “Good stuff. A good podcast for up to date information. The guests are interesting and the host is relatable.” Well, thank you for the review goodhumorfan and I’m happy to be able to- I’m happy you’re able to relate to me- absolutely.

As the name indicates, the Club was formed by a group of young men of English descent who had played the game while students at the University of Pennsylvania. With the wish to continue to play together after their graduation, they formed the Club under the leadership of William Roach Wistar. While playing cricket on any grounds available for the first 30 years of the club’s existence, in 1883, The Club "came home" to Chestnut Hill through the generosity of a benefactor, Henry H. Houston. Houston arranged for them to settle down at The Club's present location on West Willow Grove Avenue in the St. Martin's section of Chestnut Hill. The original nine-hole course was built in 1895 and was quickly replaced by a new eighteen-hole course in 1897. When the Golf Association of Philadelphia was organized in 1897, The Club was one of four founding members alongside Aronimink Golf Club, Merion Cricket Club, and Philadelphia Country Club.
