Abstract/Contents: | Provides a history of several of the earliest golf clubs in the San Francisco Bay area, including clubs formed in the 1890s such as Burlingame, San Francisco Golf Club, Oakland Golf Club, and San Rafael Golf Club. Claims that "most of these courses were built on flat land and incorporated a bunker style that seems more similar to equestrian jumps than the bunkers that we are familiar with." Describes how Robert Hunter of the University of California-Berkley, and William Watson, a noted golf architect at the time, started Berkley Country Club, known today as Mira Vista Country Club. |
