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 think I remember this being discussed before? Spirit complained about it.
gollark: Talking about where to get them might be, or at least might cause them to complain.
gollark: Based on advanced "ctrl+F" technology, there's nothing specifically about drugs or whatever (would be weird if there was) but just "no doing illegal things". *Talking* about drugs is not illegal.
gollark: There's a specific no-explosives rule, there isn't a specific no-talking-about-drugs one (though I Imagine Discord TOS would forbid some related stuff).
gollark: The barriers to having an alternative are probably more financial and legal than technical, inasmuch as video hosting is mostly a solved technical issue by now but actually getting advertisers and such isn't.
