S
tatistics are what the game of golf is built around. One statistic that
describes why the rounds of play are down, is the decline in the
number of under thirty year old golfers. The latest accounting
shows that only five percent of the under thirty population play a daily
round of golf. The main accepted explanation is that eighteen holes consumes too much time. To help perk interest with this demographic
group I see a saving grace coming. The Brazil Olympic Games will have
‘Golf’ as an event, this world wide exposure will bring back the younger
players who will not only be purchasing the newly designed Olympic
logo’s golf shirts, the games will also spark an interest for them to return
to the links.
To continue to keep us all in the mood for the 2016 season here is a bit
of golf history.
Australia’s golfing museum has a history book dating from 1881
showing the first written record of a golfer yelling ‘fore caddy’ as a
warning to the caddy waiting down the fairway to be alert to where the
golf ball lands. That’s the accepted version of where the warning ‘fore’
comes from. I would rather go with the popular belief the warning originates from a ship’s designation of ‘fore’ and ‘aft’ or ‘ahead’ and ‘before’.
Eventually ‘before’ became ‘fore’ and the term ‘fore caddy’ was shortened to ‘fore’ as a warning to other golfers to watch out for an errant
golf shot. Did you know it is also the baseball season and that a recently
found document written in 1857, predates the current version of the
games rules by three years and now has a value over $150,000? The interesting part like the origin of the word ‘Fore’ is the origin of the descriptive words base ball (two words), base-ball (hyphenated) and the
accepted version which is spelled baseball (one word). Credit for the
spelling goes to Alexander Cartwright, according to, “The Baseball Hall
of Fame”. With “Fore” and “baseball” being accepted sports terms what
next will join our lexicon, probably football’s claim to the description
“deflate gate”?
Speaking of deflate or depression, have you ever wondered what the
ruling would be if your golf ball lands in a depression made by a spectators seat. Yes, there is a ruling that covers the situation. Take a second
and think what it is, it is obvious--------? The USGA ruling is to follow
the same procedure and rules for a ball coming to rest in an aeration
hole. Makes sense. What also makes sense in this presidential election
year is we are aware there are red and blue states, we are also aware
there are red and yellow stakes in golf. Yellow stakes or yellow lines are
used to define the margins of water hazards, red stakes or red lines are
used to define lateral water hazards. Now you have a choice, is it baseball, football vote or golf? Majority rules the yellow and red stakes win,
for now let it be golf. ■

The Late Charles. K. Martin:
Forgotten Man of L.I. Golf
BY PHIL CARLUCCI

D
ecades after he first put his hands in the turf of soon-to-be Long
Island golf courses, Charles K. Martin's fingerprints remain on
fairways and greens built during the 1960s golf boom, and
they're still there on courses that arrived long before. According to a
2010 Newsday article, however, Martin is the "forgotten man of Long
Island golf design and construction."
Martin passed away earlier this year at age 94, Newsday's Mark
Herrmann announced last month.
John M. Brennan of Golfdom magazine
wrote in a 1965 profile that Martin's reach
extended to 90 percent of the golf courses
open in Westchester and on Long Island at
the time, either as builder, designer or
restoration specialist. Still, Martin's
contributions to local course architecture,
more focused on construction and
remodeling than original design, are
overshadowed by those of C.B. Macdonald,
Seth Raynor and Devereux Emmet, and
less recognized than work of mid-century
designers like Alfred Tull and William
Mitchell, if they're considered at all.
Perhaps there is more to it than simple
oversight. "It is a great
shame when a person's work is credited to someone else," Martin
told Newsday in 2010.
Martin was at the forefront of Long Island golf's second wind. After
years of wartime and post-war contraction, the regional golf landscape
was suddenly short on supply for the Island's newly arriving residents. In
1961 and 1962 alone, a dozen private clubs debuted on Long Island – one
of them, Tam O'Shanter in Brookville, was built by Martin and his 64-man
crew in just 90 days, according to Golfdom. Martin also played a key role at
Indian Hills and North Hills, both part of that early '60s club boom.
On the public side, Martin constructed or designed Island's End in
Greenport, Middle Island Country Club, Spring Lake and Swan Lake.
Born in Queens, Martin grew up when
the borough was dotted with renowned golf
courses. His first taste of course
construction came while caddying at the
original Fresh Meadow Country Club,
where Martin helped out with the
maintenance crew in the hopes of making a
few extra bucks. That initial experience
eventually blossomed into his own
Commack-based construction firm.
Golfdom lists more than a dozen courses
modernized by Martin in the 1960s,
including early-century mainstays like
Engineers and Inwood. Some of his
restorations were performed on courses
recently designed by Mitchell and Robert
Trent Jones.
From one watery corner of Long Island to the other, Martin left no
swath unturned. His work reached both Forks, and he didn't skip over
Shelter Island in between. Golfdom said he was "commissioned to facelift"
Gardiner's Bay Country Club there, as well. ■

he 2016 Ann Liguori Foundation Charity Golf Classic
held at Friar’s Head on the East End of Long Island, this
past May, was the most successful event yet in its 18-year
run. Under glorious sunshine and clear skies, the Ben
Crenshaw-Bill Coore design glistened and hosted the sold-out
charity tournament for the third straight year. The annual
outing benefits a number of organizations that work in the field
of cancer prevention and research including the American
Cancer Society, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, cancer
research grants and Kids Need More, a camp for children with
cancer and their siblings in August on Shelter Island.
Enthusiastic golfers gathered in the morning for a huge
buffet breakfast in the breath-taking clubhouse which is
situated on the bluffs of Baiting Hollow, overlooking the Long
Island Sound. After warming up on the club's sprawling
practice facility, they were off to enjoy a picture-perfect day on
a picture-perfect course. Gene Michael of the NY Yankees and
TV/Radio/Film personality Bo Dietl joined in the fun. ■
