Tonight the Chicago District Golf Association (CDGA) celebrates 100 years. The centennial dinner tee’s off at the Palmer House.

It will be a special night for golf. Joining everyone tonight are two special speakers from the United States Golf Association,both USGA President Tom O’Toole and USGA Executive Director Mike Davis.

If you have not seen the issues of the CDGA Magazine this year, you should. There has been some great history of the organization, told through various stories. Chicago’s golf history tells some great tales, especially through the eyes of those who made it happen, or put it all together in the first place.

A follow-up on the evening will be reported here on the Gog Blog.
