The Apawamis Club
The Apawamis Club is a golf and country club located in Rye, New York. The 1911 U.S. Amateur Championship was contested here, resulting in a playoff between the reigning British Amateur champion, Harold Hilton, and his lesser-known American opponent, Fred Herreshoff. Many notable players were in the field, such as Francis Ouimet and Walter Travis.
==Club founding==
The Apawamis Club was founded on June 25, 1890 as a social organization by a group of forty gentlemen from Rye, New York, and the surrounding area.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Club History - The Apawamis Club )〕 The Apawamis Club was the home course for golfing great Willie Anderson from 1901 through 1906.
The Apawamis Club has a rich golf history. The golf course was designed by Willie Dunn, Jr. who had previously designed the links-style course at Shinnecock Hills, which is also located on Long Island. Herbert Strong was hired as the head professional in 1906 after Willie Anderson left to take another job. Strong made changes to the golf course, which included adding bunkers, between 1906 and 1911 in preparation for the U.S. Amateur.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Master List of Herbert Strong Golf Courses )〕
The origin of the Club's name refers to an area in the southwest section of Rye, now called Rye Neck, formerly called Budd's Neck (after John Budd – who purchased it in 1661), that was originally called Apawamis by the Native Americans. The name is derived from the words "appoqua" which means “to cover” and "mis" meaning “the trunk of a tree” – together the name implies “the covering tree”.
