Golf is more than a game, it’s a community, a tradition, and the result of dedicated individuals working in harmony behind the scenes. At The Apawamis Club in Rye, New York, we had the privilege of attending the Women’s Opening Cocktail Party, an evening that beautifully reflected the collective passion, expertise, and warmth of the remarkable team that makes Apawamis so special. Their commitment to excellence and hospitality set the stage for a celebration of camaraderie and the enduring legacy of women who shape the game, both on and off the course.
A Club with Deep Roots and Enduring Spirit
Founded in 1890, The Apawamis Club is a cornerstone of Westchester’s sporting and social life. With its storied golf course, historic clubhouse, and vibrant membership, Apawamis has long been a place where friendships are forged, skills are honed, and traditions are honored. From hosting national championships to welcoming new generations of players, the club’s legacy is woven into every fairway and gathering.
The Team Behind the Tradition
What makes Apawamis truly special is the dedicated team working behind the scenes and on the front lines. From the golf professionals and shop staff to the event coordinators and hospitality crew, every member of the Apawamis team plays a vital role in creating an atmosphere that is both welcoming and inspiring.
