This annual competition has seen notable winners over the years; among them are Byron Nelson, Denny Shute, Tom Weiskopf, and Jack Nicklaus. As the venue for such a prestigious event, the newly-opened Athens club had an opportunity to make an impression upon elite golfers with its facilities, golf course, and hospitality. The 36-hole event was staged on July 30 – 31, 1923, for participants from across the state, as well as from Parkersburg. The field included George Sargent, the Scioto Country Club professional who designed the ACC layout as played then. Sargent’s young son Alfred, later a star of the Ohio State golf team, played as an amateur. F. Stanley Crooks, an amateur from Scioto CC who often partnered with Jules Blanton, then ACC golf pro, competed; Crooks was a life-time member of the ACC, an honor bestowed for his role in the ACC’s founding. Long hitting Lloyd Gullickson, professional at the Columbus Elks golf club was a gallery favorite, as was 19-year old Bobby Shrieve of Cleveland. During the first day of play, only five players broke 80 on the course. Few were able to improve on the second day. The winning score of 155 (76-79) belonged to P. O. Hart, the pro at the Marietta Country Club. Gullickson took second place with 156 (77-79). Shrieve, who had problems on the 17th hole in his first round, scored 161 (82 – 79) and shared third place with George Sargent (80-81) and Charley Lormes, another Columbus pro. ACC’s Jules Blanton tied a player from Cleveland at 168 and divided 15th place money. Blanton, after competing in Shaker Heights later that summer, returned to Athens and declared, “The professional open tournament held at the Athens Country Club last July has surely put Athens on the map in golf circles.” Those who played here, he reported, found the Athens course “to be one of the most difficult and interest[ing] links in the state.” Jan/Feb 2018 | Page 6.

  • Inaugural Version Of
    Inaugural Version of September 12-15, 2018 Message from The Centennial Chairmen Glenn Brander & Jeff Haar rentwood Country Club has a surprisingly long history. In fact, in 1916, Brentwood’s first 9 holes B opened, and one year later, its second 9 holes opened. Over the past several decades, Brentwood has hosted many great member-guest tournaments, most no- tably The Brentwooder. The Brentwooder has provided our members ONE opportunity each year to play alongside a guest of their choice in a meaningful, highly competitive, match play tournament. The Brent- wooder has long been, and will continue to be, a premiere tournament at Brentwood Country Club. In the past several years, as our competitive golf culture has grown, our Brentwooder tournament has sold out with a wait list. And so, many of our members were shut out from playing in the tournament. A realization set in that there was clearly an appetite from our membership for competitive, member-guest tournament golf, and one event a year wasn’t going to satisfy this appetite. It has long been a desire of ours to tie our club’s rich history, our heritage, to a singular, annual event. It was clear to us that the event needed to be a member guest tournament, one that doesn’t compete with The Brentwooder, but instead compliments it. The tournament would occur at a different time of the year, and with a format that differed from the Brentwooder’s match play format. With all of this in mind, a tournament sub-committee was formed, one that represented a healthy cross section of our membership (young-to-not-so-young).
