Huntingdon Valley Country Club
Our first "library series" event was held May 25th with a focus on William Flynn and his work at Huntingdon Valley Country Club. Wayne Morrison, guest speaker, educated us on all things Flynn, started with some history on Flynn's early life. He then touched on William Flynns contribution to Pine Valley, his work at Shinnecock Hills, and design work at host club Huntingdon Valley. Everyone received a copy of his 2,500+ page The Nature Faker.

Wayne provided us the original routing and plans of the course as Flynn laid it out so we set tees to recreate the original Flynn routing. Many walked away surprised how long some of the par 3s were, how short the par 5s were, and how varied the par 4s were.
Congrats to our Champions Zack Baratz, Russell Dekker, and our host champion Eric Kubilus!
And last but certainly not least, a special thanks to our Social Head Jordon Mouton who never fails to give an entertaining speech!
Another special thanks goes to the staff at Huntingdon Valley CC who provided us with a memorable experience, amazing lunch and dinner, fantastic beverages, and impeccable service & assistance throughout the day.
