OUR HOST VENUE
This year we will be returning to the historic Rockaway Hunting Club, at 615 Ocean Ave. Lawrence, New York 11559.
The Rockaway Hunting Club is the oldest country club in the United States, although not originally a country club in today's sense of the word. In 1877, a group of young men from Bayswater in Far Rockaway took part in a Chase between Lawrence and Valley Stream. They organized a club in Bayswater in 1878, but in 1884, residential development forced a move to the present location in Lawrence. There the members built a clubhouse considered the largest, most luxurious on Long Island. It overlooked Reynolds Channel, Long Beach, a polo field and a four-mile steeplechase course.
Rockaway's initial fame came from polo, creating a bitter rivalry with Meadow Brook Hunt. By 1888, the two clubs were so superior to all others that a handicap system was created. The Rockaway team won national championships in 1901 and 1902. The world-champion Rockaway team was headed by Foxhall Keene, who was rated the best all-around polo player in America for eight years in a row and is certainly the greatest athlete in the club's history.
James R. Keene, Foxhall's father, once offered a $100,000 wager that no one could beat his son in a contest including 10 sports - there were no takers. During the late 1890s, Foxhall took a brief respite from polo and developed into one of just two scratch golfers in the Met district - the other being Walter Travis. He competed in the 1897 U.S. Open, and advanced to the quarterfinals of the 1898 U.S. Amateur, where he was defeated by Travis.
