Golf On Long Island's Phil Carlucci will lead a lecture on the 130-year history of Long Island golf next Thursday, August 10 at Harbor Links in Port Washington. The event is part of the Roslyn Landmark Society lecture series and celebrates the 25th anniversary of Harbor Links.
North Hempstead town engineer Jill Guiney and town historian Ross Lumpkin will also be on hand to discuss the development and legacy of Harbor Links, which was built in the late 1990s inside what had long been an industrial sand mine. Renowned architect Michael Hurdzan was hired by the town to design the course following his work revitalizing a similar mining site at Widow's Walk near Boston.
The event is free to attend. Register at the Roslyn Landmark Society website to reserve a spot.
Signed copies of Carlucci's book, Images of America: Long Island Golf, will be available for purchase at the event. Since the book's publication in 2015, Carlucci has led discussions on Long Island golf history at museums, golf courses and historical societies in Oyster Bay, Huntington, Great Neck, West Sayville, Valley Stream and other areas.
