Maryvale Golf Course: The First 50 Years

Description

On April 15, 2011, the Maryvale Golf Course celebrates its Golden Anniversary. Opening Day at Maryvale was a well-chronicled event in the newspapers of the day. The book first takes you on a look back to April 15, 1961 and provides the stories of two individuals who were key participants at that glorious event. Within its fifty years, the golf course has been a second-home to many golfers passionate about the game. These difference-makers share their memories of the fabled fairways of Maryvale. The west side course was host to major golf events highlighted by the Don Sanderson Ford Invitational and Johnny Miller Pro-Am. These events showcased Arizona’s best golfers. William Godfrey takes you on a special five-decade-journey and introduces you to the people and events that shaped its history and those who will impact its future. This is his second book. Here is what others said about his first book, ‘Papago Park—Th e Golf Course and its History: “It’s truly a book that everyone who lives in the Valley and plays golf at Papago should read. Great work . . . it will be in my possession forever.” -Terry Beels, 1968 Papago Club Champion “It is one of the greatest short story books . . . it is an outstanding read!” —Greg Ellis, PGA, host of ‘Bunker-to-Bunker,’ KTAR-AM radio “Will Godfrey’s wonderful book captures the story, humanism and feel of Papago’s past, present and future. It is great reading for any lover of the game.” —Peter Longo, PGA Professional and International trick-shot-artist “If you’ve ever experienced Papago, whether as an Arizonan or visitor, I recommend this addition to your golf library. It will certainly become a part of Arizona’s golf literary history.” —Forrest Richardson, golf course architect and author
