July 1 at 7 pm
(Long Island, NY) On Wednesday, July 1, at 7 pm, author Phil Carlucci Hunt visits the Oyster Bay Historical Society to discuss his newly released book Long Island Golf. Mr. Carlucci has collected more than two hundred images of public courses, private clubs, long-gone layouts, tournament play, and local golf figures dating back to the 1890s at Shinnecock Hills through the present day, with looks along the way at courses like the original Lido Club and Montauk Downs, the paved-over Milburn and Meadow Brook clubs, and relative newcomers like Great Rock and Willow Creek. Images were collected from local clubs, golf associations, libraries, historical societies, municipalities and personal archives.
