El Paso Country Club

1. Catherine Crowell Cagle represents
a third-generation El Paso Country Club
member. Most of her friends and family
call her “Cata.” She grew up at the El
Paso Country Club…from celebrating
birthdays to being presented as a
debutante and then onto her wedding
reception in the historic ballroom.
Cata is the author of the El Paso
Country Club’s eighty-fifth anniversary
booklet, and her articles have appeared
in several Southwest publications such
as New Mexico Magazine. She was a
1983 graduate of the University of Texas
at El Paso’s Creative Writing program,
and wrote her final paper on “Historic
Homes of El Paso.”
Jack Mahoney was born on May
14, 1942, in Boston, Massachusetts.
He graduated from the University of
Massachusetts in 1964 with a BA in
History and English and from Boston’s
Suffolk Law School in 1971.
Mr. Mahoney has authored five books,
the most recent being The Golf History
of New England. He was also director
of golf at The International in Bolton,
Massachusetts—the world’s longest
golf links at 8,325 yards. He presently
resides in Weston, Massachusetts.

El Paso Country Club

The El Paso Country Club had its
formal opening on June 1, 1906. For the
club’s inauguration, President Davis
stood on the first hole of the nine-
hole course, amid a small gathering
of onlookers, and shouted “fore!” Play
began immediately and was an instant
success.

In its one-hundredth year, the El Paso
Country Club has become an important
part of the foundation of our city. As
members, we owe thanks to that group
of founding fathers whose love of golf
led them to develop a club where
sportsmanship goes hand in hand with
good fellowship and pride.
