About the Club: Baltusrol Golf Club

The Baltusrol Golf Club is a private 36-hole golf club in the eastern United States, located in Springfield, New Jersey, about twenty miles (30 km) west of New York City. It was founded 129 years ago in 1895 by Louis Keller.

In 1985, Baltusrol became the first club to have hosted both the U.S. Open and Women's U.S. Open on two different courses. Both courses were originally designed by A. W. Tillinghast in 1918. The club has been the site of seven U.S. Opens and two PGA Championships.

In 2005, the club was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2014, it was further designated a National Historic Landmark in recognition of its importance to Tillinghast's career as a course designer.

The 2023 KPMG Women's PGA Championship was the 69th Women's PGA Championship. It was played June 22-25, 2023 at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey. Known as the LPGA Championship through 2014, it was the second of five major championships on the LPGA Tour during the 2023 season.

It was won by Yin Ruoning with an aggregate of 276, eight under par. She finished one stroke ahead of Yuka Saso.

The 2029 PGA Championship will be staged on Baltusrol's famed Lower Course, which is an A.W. Tillinghast design.

Since opening in 1922, the Lower Course has hosted 10 major golf events, including seven professional major championships. This will be Baltusrol's third PGA Championship.

Threesome Golf at Somerset Hills Country Club
In benefit of HWISPA-NJ Spring Garden Gala

Fair Market Value: $1,600.00
Starting Bid: $600.00

An accompanied round of golf for 3 people at Somerset Hills Country Club.

About the Club: Somerset Hills Country Club

Somerset Hills Country Club has a rich history that began over 100 years ago.
The club was formed in 1899 for social and recreational purposes. The founders were primarily New York City residents and, thus, the use of "country" in the name of their Club.

The Club was originally situated along the Raritan River, partly in Bernards and partly in Bedminster Township. In 1918, the Club changed locations and the Club was built at its current site. The golf course was designed by A.W Tillinghast and is consistently rated one of the top 100 courses in the country.

About the Course:

Somerset Hills Country Club is an A.W. Tillinghast creation and it's naturally natural with nothing brash or ostentatious about the course. With glorious green sites and a pretty layout, it's a course that's waiting to steal your affections.

Located in Bernardsville, New Jersey, Somerset Hills is perhaps one of Tilly's finest creations and it's a jewel that fits the contrasting land like a silk glove, where there's plenty of variation to keep everyone happy (length of holes and green sites), Somerset Hills is an unusual layout that flows cleverly around the flat, open, links-like terrain of a former racetrack for the outward nine and across hilly, dense woodland for the homeward half.

In benefit of HWISPA-NJ Spring Garden Gala

Fair Market Value: $300.00
Starting Bid: $150.00

This French wine is from the left bank Bordeaux appellation of Paulliac. 2009 is well documented as one of the great modern vintages in Bordeaux and as such the wines are highly sought after. Mix in a 'Super Second' producer like Pichon Baron and this is hot ticket. Long time Bordeaux critic, Neal Martin, just had the chance to revisit the wine at the beginning of this year and has this to say: "The 2009 Pichon-Baron continues to amaze - a benchmark wine of recent years…

This is evolving into one of the standouts of the vintage from Pauillac and unusually, it surpasses the 2010. "Incredibly intense, pure and flawlessly constructed with extravagant layers of fruit and richness, this offering has developed beautifully …It is a voluptuous, opulent Pichon Longueville Baron that may eclipse anything they have made in the past. This brilliant wine should be at its peak between 2018 and 2045." - Robert Parker 98 pts. Wine Advocate 95 pts James Suckling 96 pts Wine Enthusiast
