SAUCON VALLEY COUNTRY CLUB Dear friends of Lehigh Athletics, The Lehigh Athletics Partnership is pleased to invite you to participate in the 33rd annual Golf Classic to be held at Saucon Valley Country Club on September 25, 2017. This is an opportunity for you to support Lehigh Athletics while playing one of the best golf courses in the country. The Old Couse has hosted U.S. Senior Opens in 1992 and 2000, the U.S. Women’s Open in 2009, and will host the U.S. Senior Open again is 2022. Your involvement in and support of this event will assist the Lehigh Athletics Department in providing a highly competitive and forever valuable experience to Lehigh student-athletes. I hope you will join me and many other Lehigh faithful at Saucon Valley on September 25th. We appreciate your continued support and we look forward to seeing you there. GO LEHIGH! Greg Falkenbach ‘72 Golf Classic Chairman
THE OLD COURSE The Old Course is a charming, elegantly simple layout designed by British architect, Herbert Strong. Strong hailed from Royal St. George’s, a course noted for its natural beauty, thus it is no surprise that his designs involved little or no disruption to the land. Among Strong’s best-known works are Canterbury Golf Club near Cleveland, Ohio, Engineers Club in Roslyn, New York, and the Ponte Vedre Club in Florida, home to one of golf’s first “island” greens. The course has undergone minor renovations by William Gordon and then by Perry Maxwell and most recently by Tom Marzolf of the Fazio Group. Not overly difficult from the member’s tees (6,800), the course shows its strength from the championship markers (7,126). It traverses the gently rolling terrain that was once a working farm. The USGA has chosen the Old Course for seven of its national championships: the 1951 U.S. Amateur, the 1983 U.S. Junior Amateur, the 1987 U.S. Senior Amateur, three U.S. Senior Opens, 1992, 2000, and 2022, and the 2009 U.S. Women’s Open. Always in superb condition, the Old Course is the favorite of the membership. One of the many beautiful holes is the par four thirteenth. Fronting the old Georgian clubhouse, it is a relatively short hole that demands accuracy due to a series of six bunkers positioned down the left side of the fairway and four perfectly placed on the right. A drive to a narrow landing area leaves a short iron approach to a well guarded, undulating green.
