My Daily Journal from England
Beginning next Sunday (September 13th) I will endeavor to post journal entries on my blog for those who care to follow along with my upcoming tour of England's finest golf courses.
From Sunningdale to Sylvania
Golf has been kind to the greater Toledo, Ohio area - a rich history of playing personalities, storied tournaments and grand courses. One thinks immediately of the Inverness Club, regularly regarded among America's top 50 courses and host to US Opens, PGA Championships, and even a US Amateur.
Reflections on Long Island Part Four of Four
Our final day of golf took us into New Jersey and to Baltusrol Golf Club, named for "Baltus Roll", who was murdered in his house on the premises in 1831.
Reflections on Long Island Part Three of Four
Day three found us at Maidstone Club, again on the east end of Long Island. Maidstone opened in 1891 as a tennis and swimming club and then added a three-hole golf course in 1894.
Reflections on Long Island Part Two of Four
This is the second installment of four entries, or otherwise the second day of the trip. Day two found us at the National Golf Links of America, on the eastern tip of Long Island on Peconic Bay.
Reflections on Long Island Part One of Four
Several weeks ago, I joined up with nearly 100 of my golf course architect friends from Europe, Australia and the US for five days of golf, architectural study and camaraderie on some of our country's finest venues. Our destination: Long Island, NY.
