  • Leading to - the MPSGA! [A Historical Prospective]
    Leading to - the MPSGA! [a historical prospective] The earliest long nose woods used heads made of apple, pear, thorn, ash and beech trees. Shafts were made of greenheart, redheart, hazelwood, lancewood and hickory. Hickory proves to be the best for shafts and by 1910, persimmon had become the wood of choice for heads by the top clubmakers. Gutta percha balls had replaced featheries (in 1848), and were used until rubber core balls start to replace them in 1899. The game of golf is also impacted by changes in transportation, mowers, course architecture, bulldozers, irrigation systems and rules. A Chronology of Sorts: Of Michigan, Public Links, Senior & MPSGA Golf 1888 – The first golf course in the U.S. is a 3 hole course in an apple orchard in Yonkers, New York. The St. Andrews Golf Club became a 6 hole course later that year. Members were known as “The Apple Tree Gang”. The first club president is John Reid. 1891 – First 12 hole course – Shinnecock Hills, Long Island, N.Y. – it is designed and built by Willie Dunn - - with the help of 150 Indians from the Shinnecock reservation. 1893 – The first 18 hole course in the U.S. is the Chicago Golf Club in Wheaton, IL. (originally a 7 hole course in Belmont, IL.) The course measures 5,877 yards. 1894 – The U.S. Golf Association (USGA) is formed. 1894 – First golf clubs are manufactured in the United States. (by Spalding - in Chicago) 1895 – First U. S. Open (won by Horace Rollins) and first U.S. Amateur. (won by Charles Blair MacDonald) 1896 - First public golf course in the United States – Van Cortlandt Park in New York City.

The path of the railroad line forced the club to acquire land north of the clubhouse, where, from 1916-17, Charles Blair Macdonald fashioned six new holes for play. William Flynn then constructed 12 new holes and largely altered Macdonald's layout from 1929 to 1931. The clubhouse, built in 1892, underwent a major restoration in 2016 but remains substantially the same as a century ago. COURSE RATING Based on the course setup for the championship, the USGA Course Rating™ is 76.9 and the Slope Rating® is 146. WHO CAN ENTER The championship is open to any professional golfer and any amateur golfer with a Handicap Index® not exceeding 1.4.

"A Wild Horse" The Newport Golf Club course in 1895 was 2,755 yards long for the nine holes, and the golf writer for the NEW YORK SUN described it thus: "The course is rocky, rough, and swampy in many places, and artificial bunkers have been placed at many points to increase the natural difficulties. The putting greens are in fine order and the open greens are close and thick. A few yards beyond the tee for the harbor hole is a rock about thirty feet high, which has to be cleared in the drive to make a good score, and around the putting green a semi-circular bunker has been built, this being the only hole in.
