A must-see exhibition in the Olympic Museum’s Gallery from December 9th 2015 to January 31st, 2016. Free entrance. After a 112-year absence, golf is returning to the Olympic programme in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro! To mark this event, The Olympic Museum is devoting an exhibition to golf that will be previewed from 9 December 2015 to 31 January 2016 in Lausanne (Switzerland).
Staged at two editions of the Games (Paris 1900 and St Louis 1904), golf is getting its Olympic swing back. The design, with its several “holes”, offers a “walk through the course” to visitors, enabling them to discover everything about this sport before the upcoming Games: its origins, the equipment, Rules, courses and the biggest golfing icons.
No “green fee” is required to enter, as the exhibition is free of charge. Take advantage before its imminent departure to Rio de Janeiro, where it will be presented in the fan zone at the golf venue during the Games. A six-hole design: The exhibition, which plans to swing around the world, focuses on a 6 hole course, guiding visitors to discover Golf. Six (6) themes are covered: Golf today; The equipment; The game; Golf’s main courses; Golf and its champions; Golf at the Olympic Games.
Production and contributors: This exhibition was created by the Olympic Museum in partnership with the International Golf Federation (IGF), with the scientific help of the World Golf Hall of Fame & Museum (USA), The R&A (UK), USGA Mu
The Head Golf Professional at Atlantic City Country Club, Francis Mulholland, summed it up best. I caught up with Francis as he prepared for the shotgun start for The Ellison School Annual Golf Tournament. Asked what you would say to weekend warriors and golf enthusiast that travel South to play the in Myrtle Beach and Florida, he very confidently–and with matter of fact authority stated, referring to Atlantic City, “Its home of great courses and its history. It’s a No Brainer”.
The two words that every golfer, pro or beginner, longs to hear when he finishes his or her labor on a particular hole: “Birdie or Eagle”.
“We have the ability to accommodate everyone”. He boasts about the Turtle Cove putting course they created which accommodates the young and the non-golfer.
Your first night, second night, or last night while visiting Atlantic City must be spent at the Irish Pub.
With a busy schedule, Brown manages to keep his game in top shape by playing 3-4 holes daily with friends and club members at Quail Valley Golf Club in Missouri City, Texas. Due to his work schedule he’s not been able to prepare for tournament play, but eagerly admits to loving the sport for the “challenge that golf presents, being outdoors and meeting other people.” However, finding time to play more rounds is Brown’s biggest challenge.
Over his 40+ years of playing, Brown has had many instructors. “My last lesson was with Hank Haney. Training with Hank gave me a better understanding of ‘angles in the swing’.” And, no doubt about that, as Hank Haney is known worldwide for his expertise in helping golfers to better understand their swing and lower their scores.
Brown is an active member of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. Rho Xi Chapter. He and his wife Monica have been married for 19 years and together they are proud of their only child, Richard A. Brown IV. “We used to play golf together when he was younger, but now his passion has turned to basketball.” His son, age 17, is a stunning 6’7” tall and, an excellent basketball player at Lutheran South Academy. He just received a basketball scholarship offer from Tuskegee University.
