As one of the five clubs that founded the United States Golf
Association and with the first and oldest clubhouse in the
United States (opened in 1892), Shinnecock Hills in
Southampton, New York, is America’s version of St. Andrews,
a links course bathed in beauty and rock-hard difficulty colored
most brilliantly by its rich history. Rugged, with its
nearly treeless layout and windswept proximity to the nearby
Atlantic Ocean and Peconic Bay, Shinnecock Hills stands as
a quiet but strong monument of days gone by.
In 2004, however, Shinnecock Hills was a catalyst in canonizing
a hero of modern golf. It began the moment Phil
Mickelson stepped to the first tee on Thursday for the 104th
U.S. Open, receiving a raucous applause from fans in the
New York crowd of almost thirty-five thousand, and did not
end until the moment he reached the clubhouse after finishing
the 18th hole on Sunday.
