The sites are approximately 35 miles apart.<\/p>\n<p>St. George&#8217;s stands as one of architect Devereux Emmet&#8217;s finest design while Engineers is considered among Herbert Strong&#8217;s best work.<\/p>\n<p>Emmet had an attachment to St. George&#8217;s. He is said to have selected the site after years of searching Long Island. Emmet was governor of the club and\u00a0 and lived very near the course. Emmet made alterations to Engineers a few years after it opened.<\/p>\n<p>It is interesting to note that St. George&#8217;s received far more attention than its counterpart. According to the story, a match was played between the team of J.C. Parrish Jr. and Arthur E. Reid, the St. George&#8217;s professional, and R.C. Watson, former USGA president and Patrick Doyle, the professional from South Shore Field Club in Bay Shore.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking through the archives of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, I came across these articles.
