History of the Kenridge Invitational
HISTORY OF THE KENRIDGE INVITATIONAL A group of men attempted to establish a golf and country club in the Charlottesville/Albemarle County area a number of times before succeeding with Farmington County Club in 1929. Before Farmington, the local alternative was a nine- hole course, “Albemarle Golf Club”, located off of Meade Avenue in Charlottesville. However, the success of Farmington Country Club brought about the demise of Albemarle Golf Club. A 1931 article in ‘Golf Illustrated’ noted that “they” acquired a parcel of land, some one thousand acres, for development of a community and golf course. Fred Findlay received the commission to design the original eighteen-hole venue, which opened in May 1929. Findlay was born in Scotland, and after serving in the British Army spent the rest of his life as an amateur painter and professional golf course architect. Records show that Findlay designed more golf courses in the Commonwealth of Virginia than any other individual. Fred Findlay’s son-in-law, Raymond F. Loving, actually began work on the golf course in early 1927, prior to the official formation of Farmington Country Club. Loving’s effort led to his appointment as the Club’s General Manager, before the golf course was even finished! To serve as Golf Professional, Jack Robertson was hired from The Cascades, and he remained until 1934. Amongst the early Farmington members, Dr. Rice Warren, Dr. M.L. Rea and W. Fritz Souder established themselves in golfing circles. Soon after Farmington’s founding, it joined the Appalachian Golf Association which had existed for some fifteen years.
