Abstract
Description
The exclusive Seaview Country Club was founded by Clarence H. Geist, a Philadelphia business man, utilities magnate, and golfer. Geist reportedly spent 1.5 million dollars to build the exclusive club on land that was once a bayside farm. The 18-hole Bay Course was partially designed by Hugh Wilson in 1914. The following year, Donald Ross completed the 6,300 yard course.
President Warren G. Harding, dedicated golfer and friend of Seaview founder Geist, played a round of golf on the Bay Course. Harding made frequent excursions to Seaview and was known to be fond of wagers. It was said that Harding placed a bet on every swing.
