About the Golfers Club | town-and-country

History/Purpose of The Golfer’s Club @ T&C

Shortly after Town and Country opened in 1962 a group of golf regulars got together and formed what was then called the “Men’s Club”. Their purpose was two-fold, to play some competitive golf events together and give back to the community by promoting golf to young golfers.

In 1963 they ran a golf tournament to crown a Club Champion along with their first fund-raising event called Spanferkel. For 60 years the Spanferkel event has been run annually and remains the Club’s main fund-raiser.

Early in the 2000’s, the “Men’s Club” recognized the Club should not exclude anyone from being a member and became “The Golfer’s Club @ T&C”.

Over the years, we estimate that the Club has provided over $55,000 in scholarships to seniors at County HS. Over those years, we estimate that the Club has run 1,000+ golf events for members.

The Club’s main purpose and objective continues to be to play golf and to support and promote golf among the youth of our community.
