8 About Winged Foot Golf Club Winged Foot traces its roots back to a small group of members within the New York Athletic Club who felt the need for a championship course closer to Manhattan than the better courses of the time. The club's founding fathers presented a simple, yet challenging, mandate to the course's architect, Albert W. Tillinghast - Give us a man-sized course, they demanded. In May of 1922 Winged Foot purchased a 280-acre site in Mamaroneck, former land of the Mohegan Indians, camping ground for two armies during the Revolutionary War, and adjoining home of novelist James Fenimore Cooper. Tillinghast responded with two magnificent tests of golf, the West Course and its lesser-known sister, the East Course. In his own words, The holes are like men, all rather similar from foot to neck, but with the greens showing the same varying characters as human faces." The courses, opened for play in 1923, are still rated among the best in the country. Winged Foot s tournament legacy is impressive, hosting eleven major championships including five U.S. Opens. Highlights of the Opens include Bobby Jones clutch putt in 1929, the famous massacre of 1974, Fuzzy Zoeller s surrender towel in 1984, and Phil Michelson s unfortunate blunder in 2006, all occurring on 18-West. Founded: 1921 Course Opened: 1923 Architect: A.W. Tillinghast

11 Michael P. Carter Michael P. Carter was an engaging and talented young man who represented all that is good about the game of golf. A junior champion at both Baltusrol and Winged Foot, a standout golfer at The Delbarton School in Morristown, N.J., and a member of the Penn State golf team, Michael had character, integrity, and charm - both on and off the golf course. He understood the importance of giving his all, and also of giving back, spending many hours volunteering with the American Red Cross and assisting with the efforts following the September 11th attacks. This event is dedicated in his memory.
