EP. 3: The First Country Club

In 1898, a group of Galveston businessmen chartered Texas's first official country club and brought in a Scottish pro with genuine golf royalty bloodlines to lay out nine holes on the beach — protected from wandering cattle by brand-new barbed wire. Two years later, the deadliest natural disaster in American history wiped the course out along with much of the island. What followed is one of the great survival stories in Texas golf: a club that rebuilt, moved inland, burned down, moved back, hired Donald Ross to design a course between the Gulf and a bayou, burned down again, and relocated a third time — all while hosting Bobby Jones, Byron Nelson, Walter Hagen, and Babe Zaharias along the way.
