Holtgrieve and Young sounds more like a law firm than the last names of two significant contributors to the game of golf. Jim Holtgrieve, a three-time participant and two-time captain of the U.S. Walker Cup team, will lead this year’s team in the 2013 Walker Cup at National Golf Links of America. Phil Young is a A.W. Tillinghast historian, author and a constant reference to golf course architects who are looking to recapture the golden age of golf course architecture and to golf clubs around the country who wish to remember their club’s storied past. Both men were featured on the On Par radio show to discuss the upcoming Walker Cup and one of Long Island’s most treasured golf courses-National Golf Links of America.

Certainly Long Island native and amateur standout, Annie Park would have preferred to play the weekend at the 2013 U.S. Open, but hopefully Annie left picturesque Sebonack Golf Club in Southampton with her head held high and the confidence that she has a bright future on the horizon.
