CLUB HISTORY
Updates: Since the original list was compiled in the early 1980’s Ed Wojtowicz improved his ringer score. He has eagles on #1,#3,#6,#9,#11,#12 – Aces on #2,#13,#15 – a double eagle on 16 and birdies on the rest of the holes for a ringer score of 42. Also Bruce Davidson joined the double eagle club with one on #2 and is working hard to catch Ed as he has a ringer score of 45 at this time.
And now for something from the believe it or not realm. Remember the second nine holes were not developed at the time and many trees didn’t exist or were very small.

MAY TAKE TO AIRPLANES
East Aurora Country club to consider landing place on golf course. East Aurora, Feb. 25 – At the next meeting of the East Aurora Country club it is expected that the project of providing landing and take-off accommodations for airplanes at the club’s golf course just north of this village will be taken up for discussion. Who the member is that is planning to buy an airplane and take to flying in connection with his golf has not been revealed. There isn’t even a well-defined rumor connecting any member with that up-to-date scheme. However, the golf course provides several excellent landing places, and these are said to be the things most necessary through-out the country if flying is to develop, as the automobile has.
The course of the East Aurora Country club is most favorably situated in this respect, being on high ground and possessing at least three long, level fairways on which the flyers could land, the northernmost one being best adapted for the purpose, because of adjacent sheds which with slight alterations would make excellent hangers.
