Wholesale Golf Clubs News for you

The board of directors of the Hooper Golf Club has been in negotiations with Walpole’s selectmen to extend the club’s lease on the historic, nine-hole course. But instead of the five- or 10-year extension the club’s leadership hoped to secure, the lease will continue only to the end of 2012. “We’re in a good position right now, but it’s wait-and-see on the future of the golf course and that property,” golf club secretary Fred Hughes said. The selectmen — who oversee the Hooper Trust, which owns the land — say they may be forced to sell the land to shore up the trust’s finances. Trustee of Trust Funds Jerome S. Galloway agrees that selling the land is the best way to honor the will of George L. Hooper, who bequeathed the land to the town almost 100 years. “From my perspective it would be better off for everybody if it were sold. We need to fulfill the fiduciary responsibility to the trust,” he said. Trustees of trust funds manage a town’s various savings accounts, including trusts such as this one. But some Walpole residents say the golf course has more than fiduciary value. It’s not only golfers who would have one fewer place to play if the links were sold, according to Marcia Galloway, co-chairman of the Walpole Conservation Commission and president of the Hooper Hill Hoppers, the town’s snowmobile club.

LANDIS — South Rowan athletics director Danny Crosby’s cozy office includes the obligatory Vince Lombardi quote in Magic Marker on the greaseboard as well as an optional poster of the Three Stooges posing with golf clubs. Sports has a serious side and a lighter side, and Crosby has balanced them pretty well for a long time. A fierce competitor in his day but quick with a joke as the years rolled by, Crosby will retire on June 30 from a school into which he’s poured heart and soul. “He’s Larry Deal-ish, one of the old school,” South principal Dr. Donald Knox said. Crosby, 57, goes back far enough at South that he was a Rebel, rather than a Raider, when he played fullback and first base for coach Lope Linder. He kept busy between football and baseball seasons by wrestling. “Graduated in 1971,” Crosby said. “The last class of Rebels.” Crosby played football at Lees-McRae when it was still a junior college. Then he went on to Carson-Newman. He began coaching at rural Wartburg Central High in the Crab Orchard Mountains of Tennessee. His next stop was coaching his brothers, Rick and Tim, as an assistant at Lees-McRae. In the late 1970s, Crosby left coaching for five years, studying turf management and working at several golf courses. He returned to the coaching ranks in the area in 1982. He served a stint at Erwin, where he was AD; another at Northwest Cabarrus. In 1991, he had a chance to return home to South as a health and P.E. teacher and to put on the red and black again. He’s helped coach football, baseball and wrestling, and he’s been a fixture at South the past two decades.

Hillside Golf Club transform fortunes to win double number five

THE double is being celebrated on Merseyside, not alas in the world of soccer, at Anfield and Goodison, but within the golfing community, in “England’s Golfing Capital” the superb links of the Sefton Coast. Hillside has won the double, the Southport and District Golf Association Winter League Championship of 2010-11 and the Scratch Team Tournament of 2011. It is a remarkable achievement. For one reason Hillside have now won the double five times. For another it represents a dramatic turnaround in the team’s fortune. “This is the first time we have won the league in ten years,” says Rob Godley, team manager. “In the glory years from 1976-1999 we were very successful. Then we won nothing. Now we have shed the period of being in the doldrums. I am delighted.” He lives on the Fylde coast and makes the 30 miles two-way journey to play regularly at Hillside where he has been a member for more than 40 years. He has been involved with the SDGA since 1976. The association dates back to 1968, the idea of the late Joe Moore, then Sports Editor of the Southport Visiter series of newspapers. His objective was to encourage inter-club competitive golf in the winter months, leaving players free to play the busy programme of events in the summer.

Paulson-led owners put Doral golf clubs for sale

The owners of several iconic luxury resorts mired in bankruptcy are moving to sell one of Florida's most well-known golf clubs: Miami's Doral Golf Resort & Spa, host to an annual World Golf Championships tournament. The resorts' owners, a Paulson & Co.-led investment group known as CNL-AB, said in court papers filed Monday that a sale of the Doral would generate needed cash while having little negative impact on the investment group's bottom line. The resort investors have hired real-estate broker Hodges Ward Elliott Inc. to market Doral, home to the "Blue Monster" course, a staple on the pro-golf tour for nearly a half century. A sale of Doral will permit the resorts "to reduce their funded debt obligations and better position the enterprise to exit from Chapter 11," the ownership group said in papers filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy court in Manhattan. The ownership group, led by John Paulson's hedge-fund firm, placed Doral and four other resorts--including the Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa in Phoenix and Hawaii's Grand Wailea Resort--into bankruptcy in February shortly after acquiring them through a foreclosure proceeding. CNL-AB and three other resorts it owns are not part of the bankruptcy case.

NEWCASTLE -- A gigantic garage sale will draw bargain hunters and help raise money for families impacted by HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. "I'm up to my ankles in stuff I'm trying to price," said Mel McArthur, from the local Gathering for Grannies (previously The Gathering Grannies of Clarington). Gathering for Grannies will be hosting its sixth annual garage sale fundraiser in downtown Newcastle on Saturday, May 28 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The sale will offer everything from golf clubs to a snowboard and a new barbecue to curtains. There will be records, books, antiques, art, toys, kitchen and household items, baby items and plants. The event also includes the popular vintage clothing boutique. "It's so huge it has a life of its own. We start at 5:30 in the morning to truck things to the site," said Ms. McArthur. "We take so many different kinds of things. Every year it's something different." The Gathering Grannies of Clarington began in 2006. The group fundraises for The Stephen Lewis Foundation, which supports grassroots projects in sub-Saharan Africa to help the millions of children orphaned by AIDS. The foundation helps grandmothers who have buried their own children and are now raising their grandchildren, and women and people living with HIV/AIDS.

Rylee Harrison, granddaughter of Great Falls fire marshal Doug Bennyhoff, was diagnosed with brain cancer in February. To help her family offset medical costs, friends are holding a benefit on Sunday. The benefit, at the Black Eagle Community Center from 3 to 7 p.m., features dancing, a DJ, silent auction, live auction, bake sale, raffle and a 50/50 drawing, event organizer Julie Jorgensen said. Dinner includes spaghetti, chicken, pulled barbecued pork, salads and desserts. Auction items include a fishing trip to Alaska, five days of golf for four in Palm Springs, golf clubs and skis. Tickets are $8 per person or $15 for a family and are available at Prairie Mountain Bank, 1019 7th St. S.; Great Falls Fire Rescue, 105 9th St. S., and at the door on Sunday. Northwest 119th Street is a highway surrounding the “paradise” tucked behind eight-foot hedges. To run the venue today as a full-service country club with its big parties, lavish dinners, bar mitzvahs and business meetings proved prohibitive. “When I came here in 1976 this used to be the place in Miami,” Garcell said. “There was Riviera and La Gorce but we were mainly a Jewish club and a very family-oriented club. People would come here and play golf and stay the whole day.”
