  • History of the Cavalier Golf & Yacht Club
    History of the Cavalier Golf & Yacht Club The land which the Club, Course and surrounding Neighborhood are situated was once rich and fertile farmland belonging to several families – all who also had the good fortune of holding spectacular views of the Linkhorn Bay providing, in the day an abundance of fish and shellfish indigenous to those waters. By the early 1900’s Birdneck was divided into five areas – land to the west of Cardinal Road belonged to the Miner family, to the east was held by Mr. Hurdle and beyond that was a forty- acre tract extending northward across the point owned by the Stormont family. The balance of the land was held by the descendants of John Ackiss, High Sheriff in 1769 whose property, some thirty acres from the end of Bobolink south to the inlet and north to where the Clubhouse now sits. The remainder of the Point belonged to the Miller family. During the real estate boom of the early twenties parcels of land were being promoted for residential sale however it was deemed to be too far from the city of Norfolk. In 1925 Richard Crane, the son of a California plumbing manufacturer examined the land and decided to fund a 10 to 12 year development program to bring about what is to this day known as Birdneck Point. Swamps were dredged to create attractive waterways, lights and plantings were put in to attract affluent buyers and he envisioned a Bermudian theme of architecture in the homes that were planned (many of which still stand today).

Preface You might suppose offhand that Babe Didrikson Zaharias is too well-known to require any introduction. Actually this isn’t the case. To be sure, even people who never look at the sports pages can identify her as a superwoman athlete. And everybody is sympathetically aware of her valiant struggle against cancer. But only a comparative few have been in a position to know that she is also something out of the ordinary as a person. Hundreds of newspaper reporters, among others, have made this pleasant discovery at different places around the country during the past two decades. The Babe would come to their town for some tournament or personal appearance. They would be assigned to interview her.

It is an easy matter to continue in statistical ecstasies about Miss Wright's play in the Open. She led at the end of every round, playing them in 74-72-70-74, against par of 73. She did not have a 6 on any hole. She won by five strokes. Miss Wright is the youngest holder of the USGA Women's Open title-she was 23 last Valentine's Day.
