Eastern Open Invitational
The Eastern Open Invitational, first played as the Eastern Open, was a golf tournament on the PGA Tour that was played in Maryland in the 1950s and early 1960s. The first nine events were played at Mt. Pleasant Municipal Golf Club in Baltimore, an 18-hole par-71 public course designed by Gus Hook and opened in 1933.[1] For the next three years beginning with the 1959 event, the tournament moved to the new Pine Ridge Golf Club in Lutherville, three miles north of downtown Towson. This course, which overlooks the Loch Raven Reservoir, was built by Gus Hook in 1958.[2] The tournament moved back to Mt. Pleasant after the 1961 event.[3]

gollark: I mean, you're obviously sticking to rules like "writing English" to some extent so you can actually communicate with us.
gollark: You "can" break rules quite frequently. That doesn't mean it's sensible to.
gollark: Probably not people who violate ALL rules, but ones who violate *some subset* of them in interesting ways.
gollark: If you go out of your way to do exactly the opposite of what "rules" say, they have as much control over you as they do on someone who does exactly what the rules *do* say.
gollark: I'm glad you're making sure to violate norms in socially approved ways which signify you as "out there" or something.
