  • The Golf Wire
    The Golf Wire Thursday, March 16, 2017 Knollwood Country Club Played Important Role In Masters And Augusta National Golf Club History Share Scottsdale, Ariz. (March 15, 2017) - Knollwood Country Club in Elmsford, New York played an important role in the history of The Masters and Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. According to club records and detailed in both Robert Trent Jones' book "Great Golf Stories" and David Barrett's "Making The Masters: Bobby Jones and the Birth of America's Greatest Golf Tournament," Knollwood's Men's Grill is the location where the idea for Augusta National was hatched in the late 1920s. After playing an exhibition round at Knollwood Country Club, Bobby Jones met Knollwood member Cliff Roberts through a mutual friend - hotelier Walton Marshall - in Knollwood's Men's Grill. Marshall operated the Vanderbilt Hotel in New York and the Bon Air-Vanderbilt in Augusta. During the meeting the three discussed Jones' desire to form a golf club. Roberts alerted Jones of the 350-acre Fruitlands property in Augusta, which could be purchased for $70,000. Thus the seed was planted that eventually flowered into Augusta National Golf Club, and The Masters tournament. Cliff Roberts later secured an option on the Fruitlands property and work began on Augusta National Golf Club. Jones became the club's president and Roberts its chairman, and for four decades the two ran the club with unsurpassed skill. Knollwood Country Club members Mike and Joe Turnesa played in the inaugural Masters tournament in 1934. "Knollwood Country Club has such a rich history," said Knollwood Historian Frank Cali.

Over a period spanning seven decades, Robert Trent Jones, Sr. has designed (or re-designed) some 500 golf courses in over 40 states and 35 countries. It is not only the quantity of his work that impresses, however; it is also the number of enduring golf courses he has created, and the fact that he never tires of turning them out. Born in Ince, England, on June 20, 1906, Robert Trent Jones, Sr. was 6 when he accompanied his parents to East Rochester, N.Y., where he later caddied at The Country Club of Rochester.
