History of the Nassau Country Club
Incorporated in 1896, Nassau Country Club was one of the original 50 founding members of the USGA. Nassau was founded by the leading citizens and industries of its day, establishing one of the finest golf courses at that time. Seth Raynor was hired in 1914 to make extensive renovations for the US Women’s Amateur Championship. One hundred years later, in 2014, Nassau hosted the Women’s Amateur again celebrating a centennial marque tournament.
The most famous golf club of them all, Bobby Jones’s “Calamity Jane” putter originated at Nassau. A great many articles and stories have been printed on the origin of this club in any number of golf magazines and histories of golf. After a practice round at Nassau, Bobby Jones was lamenting about his poor putting to Nassau professional Jim Maiden. Maiden retrieved an old Tom Stewart blade putter with a little more loft from his shop and Jones began making “six footers” with ease. Maiden named the putter “Calamity Jane” for “what greater calamity can befall a golfer than a short putt missed and what greater averter of a calamity could there be than a long putt holed.” Jones would go on to capture 13 major championships as well as the Grand Slam in 1930. The original golf shop, which now serves as our halfway house is named “The Calamity Jane House,” in honor of Bobby Jones and his famous putter, perhaps the most famous golf club of all time.
Let’s play a “Nassau”. This phrase, used by golfers throughout the world, originated at Nassau around the turn of the century. In those days interclub matches were common. Embarrassed by the reporting of the local newspapers that they were defeated in a match 7 & 6, Nassau member, J.B. Coles Tappan came up with a scoring system whereby a point would be awarded for the first nine holes, one for the back nine and one for the entire match. With this system, a golfer who got off to a bad start could find his game and still win a point for his team.
Nassau will also be the host of the 2025 Junior Ryder Cup Tournament…the same month as the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black course.
