Golfers Hit the Links for Tournament
Despite its lack of a golf course, golf has always played a dynamic role at the Missouri Athletic Club. With partnerships at nine area golf courses and an active Golf Club, the game continues to have a strong following at the Club. Last year the M.A.C. revived a 65-year-old golfing tradition at the Club: the annual golf championship. This September, the tradition continues.

From Friday, Sept. 8, to Sunday, Sept. 10, members can compete for the President's Trophy. Play will be held at two of the M.A.C.'s partner courses, Gateway National Golf Links and Stonewolf Golf Club. Cost is $50 for Golf Club members and $75 for non-members. Sign up for the tournament now!

David Robnett won the Open Division and Larry Salci won the Masters Division last year. Names of past and future champions are engraved on the trophy, which is on display in the Sportsman’s Club.
