Elmsford, N.Y. (June 14, 2013) - The Saint Andrew’s Golf Club celebrated its 125^th Anniversary this past week with a series of exciting events to mark its founding as the first golf club in the United States. From its beginnings with John Reid and his intrepid “Apple Tree Gang” playing on a makeshift course in Yonkers, NY, the historic club has always been dedicated to promoting the game and its best traditions for longer than any other.
