  • 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.

  • Chicago Golf Club
    INFORMATION FOR GUESTS Historical Notes The Chicago Golf Club was founded in 1892 by Charles Blair Macdonald and other prominent Chicagoans who wanted to play the game they had experienced during their travels to Scotland. The USGA recognizes the original course they built in Belmont (now Downers Grove) as the first 18-hole course in the United States. In 1895, Chicago Golf opened Macdonald’s new course, built on more spacious land that the Club had acquired in Wheaton. Macdonald, who also became the first U.S. Amateur Champion, wanted the course built in keeping with the style and tradition of the great courses in Britain. Macdonald’s belief that trees were not an appropriate hazard opened great vistas across the course and subjected play to the vagaries of the wind. Macdonald evolved this style over the next quarter century as he became the first golf course architect of renown in the U.S. At Macdonald’s suggestion, Chicago Golf was redesigned by his protégé Seth Raynor, with the new course opening in 1923. Chicago Golf’s 21st century course is still Raynor’s original design. The “modern” course features several prototype Macdonald/Raynor holes that are considered among their best – the “Road Hole” 2nd, the “Biarritz” 3rd, the “Redan” 7th, “Punchbowl” 12th were modeled on the great holes in European golf, while the “Cape” 4th and 14th holes were based on an original Macdonald/Raynor design. James Foulis from St. Andrews, Scotland, was the Club’s first professional. An excellent player and clubmaker, Foulis won the second U.S.

  • The Boardwalk Trophy and the Eastern Hockey League Part 1: the Sea Gulls, the Rovers, the Olympics and the Cutters by Chuck Miller (Hockey Ink! Vol
    FROM ATLANTIC CITY TO TORONTO: The Boardwalk Trophy and the Eastern Hockey League Part 1: The Sea Gulls, the Rovers, the Olympics and the Cutters By Chuck Miller (Hockey Ink! Vol. III, Iss. 2-3) True story - The Atlantic City Boardwalk Trophy, a prize handed from champion to champion of the old Eastern League, was found in a storage shed. Brian Elwell, a former player/coach for the old Syracuse Blazers, became a successful bar and grille owner after his retirement from hockey. As we talked about the proposed new AHL team for Syracuse, Elwell reminisced about his days in the Eastern Hockey League. "You know," he said to me, "somebody dropped this trophy off at my restaurant. It's been in my storage shed for a while. Seems like I remember seeing this once or twice in my playing days." I drove to Syracuse, hoping against hope that the pilgrimage wouldn't be just a 150-mile sightseeing journey. And when Elwell brought out a missile-shaped trophy with "THE BOARDWALK CHALLENGE TROPHY," carved into its side, the engravings drowning in a sea of tarnish and dirt, I knew this was something big. -=- Our journey begins in the fall of 1930. Lincoln Dickey, manager of the Atlantic City Auditorium, imported some Montreal-based hockey players, set them up against the toughest amateur and professional teams on the East Coast, and the Atlantic City Sea Gulls were born. Led by coach Redvers McKenzie, the Gulls hosted everybody from the New York Rangers to college teams, and by 1932 they were one of the top amateur hockey squads.
