"After President Taft completed his term of office, he served as chairman of the 1913 U.S. Open played at The Country Club in Brookline, MA. It was the first country club in the US." www.thegolfballfactory.com/the-golf-course/hole18/Preside... "The Country Club, located in Brookline, Massachusetts, is the oldest country club in the United States. It holds an important place in golf history, as it was one of the five charter clubs that founded the United States Golf Association, and has hosted numerous USGA tournaments including the famous 1913 U.S. Open won by then-unknown Francis Ouimet. Today, the club is one of the largest of its kind in the northeastern U.S., with about 1300 members." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Country_Club
