    The Saint Andrew’s Society of the State of New York Established 1756 Join us for the John A. Fraser Memorial Golf Tournament the Society’s 76th Annual Tournament St. Andrew’s Golf Club, Thursday, June 3rd, 2021 The 76th Annual St. Andrew’s Society Golf Tournament will take us back to the birthplace of golf in America and home to our Society’s very first golf outing in 1945: St. Andrew’s Golf Club in Hastings-on-Hudson. The history of Saint Andrew’s Golf Club is replete with “firsts” in American golf. Saint Andrew’s hosted the first U.S. Amateur and “Open” Championships. It was a founding member (along with The Country Club, the Chicago Golf Club, the Newport Country Club and Shinnecock Hills Golf Club) of the United States Golf Association. In 1900 Saint Andrew’s member Charles E. Sands won the first Men’s Olympic Golf Championship at the Paris Games. The magnificent golf course of the Saint Andrew’s Golf Club has been shaped by the skill and imagination of three renowned designers over the course of its nearly 115 years of operation. The first design of the Saint Andrew’s Mount Hope course was the work of William Henry Tucker Sr. who had joined the professional staff in 1895. Having apprenticed under Tom Dunn, whose U.K. based firm was, at the time, the most active golf course construction company in the world, “Willie” Tucker was well qualified to lay out the new course. The project was initiated in 1896; the course officially opened in the summer of 1897.

  • 'Joe' Oliveira by Michelle Maltais
    May/June Web Edition Getting to know Manny ‘Joe’ Oliveira By Michelle Maltais Sykes. I was hired on the spot under the recommendation of Manny Raposa. Gary Sykes would go on to see that Joe attended the winter school at UMass. “The year after I attended winter school, I came back as the assistant superintendent to Gary.” Joe said. Joe would go on to work as the assistant for almost 10 years and when Gary left for the position with the New England Regional Turfgrass Foundation, Joe was promoted to superin- tendent. Joe credits a great amount of his professional knowledge and skills from those early years spent with Joe Suspiro, Manny Raposa, and Gary Sykes. “They really taught me a lot, and they were all great teachers and role models.” It’s evident in the way Joe treats his staff that he learned things along the way that you just can’t learn in turf school. his month’s superintendent profile is about a real down to Those early years of influence with his mentors taught Joe not earth genuine guy, that started in the industry at the age only how to care for the golf course but the entire grounds staff. of 12. Joe told me that his father was Manny Senior, so He fosters the feeling in which crew members are part of a work he’sT gone by the name of Joe since he was knee high. “Sometimes family. The staff will sit and enjoy meals together -you just don’t in class the teacher would call me Manny- that usually meant I see a lot of that anymore, it can’t be learned in a book- it’s a was in trouble.” Joe, who happens to love the color green, grew way of life.
