A. Daugherty (Andrew Daugherty of Consolidated-Daugherty playing card fame) had a shop on West 14th Street in NYC. Also there existed (and still exists) the most exclusive Links Club on 62 Street in NYC. I figured there was a connection, but where was the Links Golf Club --Westchester?, Long Island?, Connecticut?, Jersey, Pennsyltucky??
Turns out the club was built off Shelter Rock Road in Roslyn, Long Island. Besides clippings and other pics, I have a sattelite view of the former Links Golf club, now a housing development. Pretty neat. It clearly shows that the area was formerly a golf course. The names of the roads in the development are named after famous golf courses. Click the link (no pun intended) below)
Hey Barry Weintraub, Charlie Kaplan! -- are you familiar with the area?
