BELLEVUE, Wash. (April 16, 2013) – Boxgroove (www.boxgroove.com), an inventive, reliable online network offering golfers the opportunity to play private golf courses of their choosing, has added Urbana Country Club in Urbana, OH to their offering that Boxgroove members can play.
“Urbana Country Club has a lot of history to the game of golf, being the ‘Original Dye’ design in 1922,” said Mcredmond Morelli, founder and CEO of Boxgroove. “This private club is where Pete Dye, one of the most influential designers in the modern era, learned his golf game and ultimately honed his craft as a world renowned golf course architect in the game of golf.
“Many classic Dye design traits await the golfer who experiences this fine private club.”
About Urbana Country Club
Known as the “Original Dye”, the 18-hole par-72 private course at Urbana Country Club comes in at a total distance of 6,849 yards from its tournament tees. The first nine holes were designed and built by Paul F. (“Pink”) Dye in 1922. It was on these grounds that Pink’s son, Pete, learned the game of golf and how to tend the course-even serving as the course superintendent during World War II. The second nine holes were added in 1993 by Pete’s son, P.B. Dye, stamping the third generation of the Dye’s influence on this course.
“Urbana Country Club is a private club and as such was a bit reluctant to ‘open up’,” said Pat Delanay, PGA professional and head pro at Urbana Country Club. “With Boxgroove, we can be selective and have full control over who visits our club. We look forward to courting a few new members and we will generate some extra income.
“We have some slow times and would certainly like to have an extra foursome or two each day or week to experience our fine course and at the same time add to our bottom line.”
