Glen Oaks Club Old Westbury, NY August 22-24, 2016 101st Met Open Championship Glen Oaks Club Old Westbury, N.Y. August 22-24, 2016 History of the Met Open Championship From its inception in 1905 through the 1940 renewal, the Met Open was considered one of the most prestigious events in golf, won by the likes of Gene Sarazen, Walter Hagen, Johnny Farrell, Tommy Armour, Paul Runyan, Byron Nelson, and Craig Wood, in addition to the brothers Alex and Macdonald Smith (who together captured seven Met Opens, with Alex winning a record four times). After an eight-year hiatus overlapping World War II, the Met Open became more of a regional championship, won by many of the top local club professionals, among them Claude Harmon, Jimmy Wright, Jim Albus, David Glenz, Bobby Heins and Darrell Kestner, not to mention such storied amateurs as Chet Sanok, Jerry Courville Sr., George Zahringer III, Jim McGovern, Johnson Wagner, and Andrew Svoboda. The purse was raised to a record $150,000 in Martin Bohen won consecutively in 1976 2007, giving the and ‘77 championship added importance. In 2015 the MGA celebrated a major milestone in marking the championship’s 100th playing.

MGA CADDIE SCHOLARSHIP PRO-AM Glen Oaks hosted the 48th MGA Caddie Scholarship Pro-Am on Monday, August 15. Teams comprised of one professional and three amateurs from the same club competed for gross and net prizes. The event raised more than $50,000 for the caddie scholarship funds of the Long Island, New Jersey, and Westchester Golf Associations, and the WMGA Girls Program. In its 47-year history, the Pro- Am has raised more than $500,000 for these programs. About Glen Oaks Club The Glen Oaks Club was formed in 1924, and purchased 165 acres south of Lake Success from the William K. Vanderbilt estate. The tract included the Vanderbilt Mansion, high on a hilltop, which became their clubhouse. The club's golf course was designed by Wilfred H. "Pipe" Follett, an English- born protege of Devereux Emmet. The course was a scenic beauty, carved through virgin forest over hilly terrain. When the Northern State Parkway was constructed in 1927, the right of way cut through club property, and the clubhouse and a few holes were isolated from the rest of the course. A new clubhouse was built, straddling the Nassau-Queens border, and the course was rebuilt. The club was forced to move to the troubled Lakeville Founded: 1924 Club during World War II, then after the war became Course Opened: crowded by the Glen Oaks village and Long Island Jewish 1971 Hospital.

The new course opened in 1971 and today, under the guidance of Golf Course Superintendent Craig Currier, it has blossomed into one of the most meticulously maintained courses in the Met Area.

And in this, his 29th and, most likely, final year as head professional at Winged Foot, that same sense of respect and endearment toward Nieporte is clearly evident amongst the club’s members, as well as his former assistants.

  • Playing Hickory Golf While You Piece Together a Vintage Set
    CHAPTER 10 cmyk 4/11/08 5:13 PM Page 165 Chapter Title CHAPTER 10 Questions And Answers About Hickory Golf Q: How much does it cost to get started in hickory golf? A: You can purchase inexpensive hickory clubs for as little as $25 each. Obviously, these are not likely to be of a premium quality and will probably require work to make them playable. At Classic Golf, we offer fully restored Tom Stewart irons for about $150 each with a one-year warranty on the shafts against breakage. Our restored woods are about $250 each for the premium examples. So, a ten-club set with two woods would run $1,700. A 14-club set would be $2,300. This compares favorably with the purchase of a premium modern 14-club set where your irons are $800, your driver is $400, fairway wood $200, two wedges at $125 each, hybrid at $150, and a putter at $200 for a total of $2,000. Q: Can a beginner or high handicap golfer play hickory golf? A: Yes. That is how it was done 100 years ago! It can be an advantage starting golf with clubs that require a more precise swing. Q: Are there reproduction clubs available and are they allowed in hickory tournaments? A: Reproduction clubs are available from Tad Moore, Barry Kerr, and Louisville Golf. Every tournament has its own set of rules. The National Hickory Championship allows reproductions because pre-1900 clubs are so difficult to find and are very expensive. At the present time there are ample supplies of vintage clubs available for play, but this could change with the increasing popularity of hickory golf.

  • Ridgewood Heritage
    Our Ridgewood Heritage Horses & Golf The Golf Course everaux Emmett, was one of the most famous golf course architects at the time. His work includes Garden City CC, Riddell Bay in Bermuda, a number of classic courses in the Northeast, and the most notable, The Congressional Golf Club in Bethesda, MD. On its opening day in 1924, Congressional hosted President Calvin Coolidge, many diplomats, and an estimated 10,000 on-lookers. The estimate for building 18 playable holes was $1,000 a hole. But that total did not include the removal of the stone walls that covered the property like a spider web. Only those that crossed the fairways were slated for removal in the original estimate. The course's condition was a bit rough for the first few years, but as money became available, the stone walls were gradually removed using only crowbars, two horses and a stone boat. It was a job that took many years. Nine holes — those that now comprise the second nine — opened for play in 1921. The other nine holes were completed in 1922. The back nine was played as the first nine until 1924, then changed to the second nine because it was longer by 300 yards and much harder to walk. Members have watched many of golf's greatest stars play the Ridgewood, including Walter Hagen, Joe Kirkwood, Tommy Armour, Henry Ciuci, Johnny Farrell, Ken Green and Mark Calcaveccia. The legendary Gene Sarazen, who owned a home just 10 minutes away, spent many days each year at Ridgewood training for tournament play.
