From caddy, to tournament champion, to now historian, Garth Bishop’s love affair with the Mount Kisco Golf Club has lasted a lifetime.

The Mount Kisco native, 59, has written an article detailing the club’s history dating back to the early 20th century, and is in the process of writing a book on the subject.

“My hope for the book is to make sure that the history gets recorded, period,” he said. “There are some things that need to be set in stone for the record before it gets missed forever.”

Bishop spent his summers caddying at Mount Kisco Golf Club starting at the age of 12. He started playing the game at Geneva College, and was a member from 1978 to 1987.

“In an effort to learn more about the Golf course homes for sale I’ve done some research over the last 35 years because it seems to have some sentimental value to me,” he said.

That research has included collecting newspaper articles, brochures, pamphlets, photos and anything he can get his hands on.

Before taking its current name from a failed competitor in 1941, the club was known as the Lawrence Family Country Club, which opened for play in 1930 to this golf community homes. A few years earlier, Lawrence Properties of Westchester County acquired 1,000 acres of land in town, including the famous 436-acre Annandale Farm.
