Cummaquid
Golf Club |
Down
through the years, many members have wondered how and why the club decided
to adopt a silver Indian arrowhead as its insignia and blue and white as the
club’s colors. Here again,
research has failed to reveal the reason for these choices. Speculation for
the logo has been that in building Cummaquid (originally Chummaquid, the
Indian name for Sandy Neck and meaning Long Point), many arrowheads were
discovered buried in the land. In
the 1920’s caddies received 35 cents for 18 holes and there were probably
15 to 20 boys looking for caddying jobs. In late 1895, the small group of organizers managed to acquire some of the land now occupied by the present day course. A description of that land was as follows: “The land…was very rough and uncultivated with plenty of blackberry vines and the outlook for fairways and putting greens was not very promising. Different lots were enclosed by stone walls.” |
