A hearty congrats to the members of our Donald Ross course family @InvernessClubGS on their @usga host site selection including a 2045 U.S. Open! We thank @GCAJoeA for facilitating an outstanding Ross Society visit last fall . Funny, this news must 've slipped your mind!
What a day for the fine folks at Inverness Club!
My Dad would have been 90 today. His values and guidance made me the man I am. What a gift! I know he’s is smiling down.
After Ted Ray won the U.S. Open in 1920 his home club Oxhey in Hertfordshire named him as an honorary member.
This was the first time any British golf club had admitted a professional golfer to its ranks and within months the home clubs of Vardon, Braid and Taylor followed suit.
I adore Inverness in Toledo, Ohio. They continue to tweak this no bull**** course into an evolving masterpiece you don't want to end. With its rolling greens and yellows against a blue sky this stern test of driver and irons is a Top Ten track for me.
We’ve been talking a lot about future U.S. Open venues and potential sites over the past week or two, and based on those chats, I’ve decided on this:
The @USGA should select Inverness Club as the host venue for the 2036 U.S. Open.
It’s has the history, it has the space, and with Andrew Green’s ongoing work on this Donald Ross classic, it has one of the best golf courses in the world.
Placing a time capsule in the floor boards of the remodeled Stranahan Room at Inverness - items like today’s newspaper, membership directory, copy of original 1903 minutes, and pieces of the original wood floor 📦📕@InvernessClubGS @SHistorians @USGA
@cwithington22 Havemeyer Trophy (US Men’s Amateur). The original in this picture was destroyed in a fire in 1925. Connor is right, you might have an issue drawing the back of this one, Chandler!
