I caddied at Whippoorwill in the '60's and won the caddy championship (and nearly the club championship) in 1967.<br />The course looks much the same as it did then. The clubhouse was a completely different building then. Harry Montevideo was the head professional, and the Caddy Master was Frank Jaworski.<br />Not an easy course to caddy on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20412896.post-89032255863748419262012-08-31T15:16:49.274-07:002012-08-31T15:16:49.274-07:00Played the Whip for the first time two days ago.

My family and I are fortunate to be members. Members frequently take client guests here and most of them walk away wondering why they haven't heard of the club before and then ask when can they play it again. It has been described as a hidden gem of golf clubs in Westchester County.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20412896.post-76856072077130836762009-09-16T16:16:20.485-07:002009-09-16T16:16:20.485-07:00I've enjoyed reading your blog.

I think this post is really interesting as it kind of makes me wonder how many places just under 'the radar' are missed, yet at the same time are wonderful courses, perhaps more wonderful that a top 100 course. This then leads me to think how some courses are always rated so highly, and is this high rating a result of its prior high rating? Of course all of this is just pure speculation on my part as I've never played a private course. I have played a semi-private course howeverRoberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02538148371544995872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20412896.post-55004000002265371792009-09-08T17:11:46.722-07:002009-09-08T17:11:46.722-07:00Thanks for the comment.
