Fresh Meadow Country Club
Fresh Meadow Country Club is a country club with a golf course in the eastern United States, located on Long Island in Lake Success, New York, its home since 1946. The club opened in the New York City borough of Queens in 1923, with a golf course designed by noted course architect A. W. Tillinghast, and hosted two major championships in the early 1930s.
The country club was named after an area northeast of Flushing even though it was located southeast of Flushing (40°43′59″N 73°46′48″W / 40.733°N 73.78°W), just south of what is now the Long Island Expressway near 183rd Street. The PGA Championship was held at Fresh Meadow Country Club in 1930, won by Tommy Armour, and the 1932 U.S. Open, won by its former club pro Gene Sarazen. (Sarazen was the runner-up in 1930, falling 1 down in the 36-hole championship match to Armour.)
In 1937, the golf course hosted a charity game between John Montague, Babe Ruth, Babe Didrikson, and Sylvania Annenberg, a game that was watched by 10,000 fans, some of whom rushed the golf course and left Babe Ruth's shirt in tatters. In 1941, Ruth played Ty Cobb in a celebrity golf match at the course to benefit the USO, the second of three matches in three cities (Boston, New York, Detroit).
