Honoree Brad Matthees, GM of Rockville Links Club. Contact 516.546.7970, [email protected] or bhny.org/events 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. ■ Mike Katz, National Charity Event Specialist [email protected] www.golfoutingmagazine.com www.redrockclothing.com 31st Annual Golf Tournament Raises $635,000 for Winthrop’s Research Programs PHOTOGRAPHS COURTESY OF RICHARD SLATTERY W Hayden S.

K. Martin: Forgotten Man of L.I. Golf BY PHIL CARLUCCI www.GolfonLongIsland.com Author of Long Island Golf The signature 16th at Island's End — a Martin course — as seen on a 1960s postcard. Martin's work at Spring Lake includes a double carry over the namesake hazard. 30 NETWORKING® July/August 2016 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. ■ From one watery corner of Long Island to the other, Martin left no swath unturned.

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. ■ Ann Liguori with Friar's Head owner Ken Bakst Philip Levine, Anthony Pike, Bob Orapall and John Janangelo Gene Michael, New York Yankee, Bo Dietl of Imus in the Morning, FOX News, Michael Carey and Robert Catalano Board member Jim Halpin, Ann Liguori, Robert Catalano, Charitable Business Man Award Recipient Scott Vallary lining up putt Golfing Around continued from page 27 September 12 Monday Little Flower Children & Family Services Golf Classic, Engineers Country Club, Roslyn Harbor.
