Minnesota Golfer - Summer 2010 - 25

22
On the west side of the Mississippi,
in the hot summer of 1898, three
young Minneapolis couples bicycled
out to the northwest corner of Lake
Calhoun at what is now Excelsior Boulevard,
then a dirt trail. They all agreed
that the expansive terrain with rolling
hills and a small creek would make
a good golf course. They persuaded
three Minneapolis businessmen to
visit the site. Those businessmen conducted
a series of meetings, the last of
which centered on naming the new
club. Two Indian words meaning " by
the side of the water " were selected,
and in 1898 The Minikahda Club was
born (see sidebar, page 22).
When members of the short-lived
Bryn Mawr course (see " Lost Courses, "
page 16) decided to found a new
club on land adjacent to the Minneapolis
streetcar line, Interlachen Country
Club was created in July 1911. In
1919, acclaimed designer Donald Ross
N THE FITZGERALDS'
SUMMER AT WBYC
The White Bear Yacht Club's centennial
publication tells that some members
" never cared a fi g for either sailing or
golf. " They might be referring to author F.
Scott Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda, who
spent the summer of 1921 simply loafi ng
and having a good time at the WBYC, riding
high on the proceeds from This Side
of Paradise. Scotty would write at times,
so Zelda would play golf with her Minnesota
friend Xandra Kalman. Ultimately, the
Fitzgeralds were asked to leave because
they " made such an unholy rumpus day
and night. " So they moved down the road to
Lou Ordway's house, soon to return to New
York City after their summer " at the lake. "
F. Scott Fitzgerald
and wife Zelda
