A. Milne First and last and everything in between, I want to encourage you to come to the annual meeting October 15th at Brae Burn Country Club. We are electing board members and voting on a couple of changes in the by-laws. We also have a number of items to discuss going into the next year. I would rather launch those in person where we can get immediate feedback. The trip to Lubbock for the Texas Trophy was long but well worth it, and I didn’t even have to drive. Thanks for the ride Cody! The course was great, even though my putting was exceptionally poor. Once again, South Texas was well represented. I have reserved High Meadow Ranch for the Christmas Party on December 7th. We will get more details out soon. Also in the works is the Past President’s Luncheon. I want to thank everyone for supporting me through the year. In particular I want to thank Marian. She understands us and is the foundation from which the board operates. We do the big picture stuff but she gets the details and makes it happen. Feel free to con- tact me for any reason.

A group of business- man raised $ 100,000 dollars to built a clubhouse and a 9 hole golf course some 10 miles outside the city of Houston. They hired a young Scottish Golf Course Architect name John Bredemus. Mr. Bredemus had honed his architectural skills in the northeast . He was a brilliant college athlete at Yale as he won a silver medal in the decathlon in the 1926 Olympics. He built somewhere around 75 courses just in Texas, the likes of Memorial Park, Colonial Country Club, and San Angelo Country Club. In 1929 due to the stock market crash Brae Burn was closed for about 2 years, then in 1931 a group of investors took control and hired Mr. Bredemus to build the second 9. Over the next 81 years the club had its ups and downs like all clubs. From 1936-1942 a young Golf Professional name Jimmy Demaret served as the head professional. During those times he won his first of 3 Masters Championships. In 1942 Jimmy Demaret, Byron Nelson, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope and Johnny Westmuller ( Tarzan ) put on golf matches raising money to buy bonds for the war effort. The matches cost $ 1.00 to watch and sometimes raised as much as $2,000. With the exception of hosting the Houston Open in the late 50's the club changed very little over the next 50 years. In 1992 the Golf Course was completely redesigned by Golf Course Architect Carlton Gipson ( 1975 President STGCSA). It was designed in a way to help the Harris County Flood Control District use the course as a retention area during flooding along Braes Bayou. During a extreme flood in 2003 engineers estimated the Texas Medical Center would have had $40- $50 million more in damage if not for Brae Burn and other retention areas up stream. In 1996 the club hosted the Texas State Amateur and has hosted several STPGA events. I have been the Superintendent at BraeBurn just over 13 years. In that time frame we have installed 11 new steel bridges, 3.5 miles of 8' wide cart paths, added rock walls to several of the lakes, rebuilt the tees, fairways and greens. We recently just completed a 900' long by 10' tall brick wall along Bissonnet. It has been a real privilege to work here with such a great membership. Over the years the likes of Sonny Dubose ( President STGCSA 1960-65-66), Tom Leonard ( President STGCSA 1964), Earle Ahrendt ( President STGCSA 1978) and John Braum have worked here as Superintendents. We are hosting the Annual Meeting here Oct. 15th. I invite everyone to come meet your peers, vote for your new board members, eat some good food, play a little golf and enjoy part of Houston golfing history. 3 Tee To Green October 2012 Welcome New Members Benjamin Huerta Asst Supt. at Sweetwater Welcome back Kody Key Gulf Coast Territory Sales Manager-Jacobsen Joe McCaskill Supt: Bluebonnet Country Club Billy Rase Supt: Contraband Bayou GC at L’auberge Ed Martinez Meadowbrook Farms Golf Club Click here for all job postings 4 Tee To Green October 2012 Golf Returning to the Olympics? Not since 1904 has there been an Olympic golf champion. That year, George Lyon, a Canadian amateur, defeated H. Chandler Egan, the reigning United States Amateur champion, 3 and 2, in the final at Glen Echo Country Club outside St. Louis, where the Olympics were held in conjunction with the “Meet me in St. Looey, Looey” World’s Fair. After disappearing into decades of debate, golf will return to the Olympics four years from now in Brazil, a nation with only 107 courses and a sports heritage geared more to soccer’s Pelé and Ronaldo. Sixty men and 60 women from a yet-to-be- announced format from the world rankings will play 72 holes in separate tournaments on a yet-to-be-built course.

Wilson, GCSAA certified golf course superintendent at The Club at Falcon Point, Katy, Texas, has completed the renewal process for maintaining his status as a Certified Golf Course Superintendent (CGCS) with the Golf Course Superintendents Associa- tion of America (GCSAA). Wilson has been at The Club at Falcon Point since 2004. A 15-year GCSAA member, he initially achieved his certification in 2002. Approximately 1,600 golf course superintendents worldwide currently hold “CGCS” status. According to GCSAA Chief Executive Officer Rhett Evans, “25 percent of GCSAA’s Class A members have elected to earn the highest level of recognition through the professional designation “CGCS” by completion of the GCSAA Certification Program.

  • On the Eve of 80, Jack Nicklaus' Legacy Becomes Less Defined by His Record and More by His Character
    On the eve of 80, Jack Nicklaus' legacy becomes less defined by his record and more by his character. By John Feinstein Peter Alliss, the Hall of Fame broadcaster and former player, almost always used the same three words to describe Jack Nicklaus whenever he found himself on-air while Nicklaus was playing: “The great man.” That sums it up pretty well. Nicklaus turns 80 on Tuesday and there isn’t any doubt that just about everyone who has crossed his path during his remarkable life would agree with Alliss—and then some. “What you need to remember when you talk about him is that he wasn’t just the greatest winner in golf history, he was also the greatest loser,” says David Feherty. “Every time he finished second in a major [19 times], he went out of his way to make sure the winner got to enjoy what he had accomplished. He wasn’t just gracious, he was more than that. He was willing to humble himself—to always say, ‘The best man won.’ That may have been true on that occasion, but it was never true over the long haul. There was never any real reason for Jack Nicklaus to be humble. And yet, he was.” Tom Watson dueled with Nicklaus on three memorable occasions in major championships: the 1977 Masters; the 1977 Open Championship and the 1982 U.S. Open. Watson considers those events his three greatest moments in golf, not just because he won a major title, but because he beat Nicklaus to do so. “If you beat him under those circumstances, you have to come away believing you can play with the very best,” Watson said last week.

  • Sample Story for Club Newsletter
    SAMPLE STORY FOR CLUB NEWSLETTER HEADER: Same Sport, One Played Dry, One Played Wet The Similarities Between Golf and Fly Fishing QUESTION: What do Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Mark O’Meara, Padraig Harrington, Nick Faldo, Nick Price, Davis Love III, Justin Leonard, and David Feherty all have in common? ANSWER: They are all avid fly fishermen…and they’ve been known to play a bit of golf. A pure coincidence? Maybe. Then again, probably not. Both golf and fly fishing can be pinpointed to 15th century Great Britain. But the sports share much more than a historic and geographic kinship. In both cases, it’s what happens “between the ears” (in the words of the immortal Bobby Jones) that separates success and failure. Both golf and fly fishing are sporting cultures perfectly suited for the type-A personality. Think about it. In an average four-hour round of golf, the time you actually spend swinging a club and putting amounts to about three minutes. The rest of the time you’re gauging distances, checking the wind, selecting clubs, reading greens, and enjoying the scenery. When you’re fly fishing a river, the best day involves minutes, not hours, of actually fighting fish. The rest of the time is spent gauging currents, checking for rises, selecting flies, reading the water…and enjoying the scenery. “For me, the shared appeal of golf and fly fishing is the chance to be outside in a beautiful place,” said Russ Miller, Director of Golf at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colorado. “The river or lake is your golf course.

  • David Feherty
    David Feherty Former professional golfer, NBC Sports Golf Analyst, PGA Announcer and host of Feherty David Feherty was born in the seaside town of Bangor in Northern Ireland. He grew up with aspirations to become an opera singer, until he discovered he had the knack for hitting a golf ball. He jokes about his career change, “I was always interested in music from a very early age. But when I turned pro at age 17, I haven’t sung a note since. Now, I only sing to punish my children.” David enjoyed a successful professional career, with 10 victories worldwide and over $3 million in prize money. He was a regular on the European Tour, with victories including the ICL International, the Italian Open, Scottish Open, South Africa PGA, BMW Open, Cannes Open, and Madrid Open. He captained the winning Irish team in the 1990 Alfred Dunhill Cup and played on the European Ryder Cup Team in 1991, an experience that rejuvenated his fervor for golf. In 1997, David retired from professional golf when offered a position as a golf commentator for CBS Sports. “I always enjoyed talking more than playing, and now I’m being paid for what I like to do most.” In 2015, David joined NBC for analysis on tournament coverage. Thanks to his sharp wit and colorful personality, he has become golf’s favorite announcer. The Golf Channel is currently airing its ninth season of Feherty — its most popular program. No topic was off limits in this original series that shares revealing interviews with well-known personalities from sports and entertainment, including President Clinton, Donald Trump, Samuel L.
