Invitational
Olympic Club, Lake and Ocean Courses
August 8, 2011

2. The Olympic Club, San Francisco, Ca.
❖ The Olympic Club, founded in 1860, added the Lakeside Country Club to its
holdings in 1924. Since then, the Olympic Club Lake course has come to be
regarded among the best golf courses in the world. It has been the site of
numerous prestigious championships, most notably three United States
Amateurs and four United States Opens. The U.S. Open returns to the Lake
course in 2012. In preparation for that event, the club started several years
ago selectively pruning trees to open vistas and provide more sunlight and
air circulation to the course. In 2008, the club rebuilt all 18 greens,
reconfigured the par 3 eighth hole and added new tees on several holes.
These improvements were ready for member play in June 2009. Those who
may have played the Lake course in the past will be in for a vastly different
experience on August 8, 2011.

About the American Cancer Society
For nearly a century, the American Cancer Society has fought for every birthday threatened by every
cancer in every community. By taking what we’ve learned through research and turning it into what we
do, we have contributed to a 15 percent decrease in the overall cancer death rate between the early
1990s and 2005. That means that we helped avoid about 650,000 cancer deaths and created the
potential for more birthday celebrations. Overall, 11 million cancer survivors in America will celebrate a
birthday this year.
Together with our millions of supporters, the American Cancer Society saves lives and creates more
birthdays by:
• Helping you stay well with tips, tools, and online resources to help people set goals and stay
motivated to eat healthy and maintain an active lifestyle to reduce their risk of cancer, and by helping
you take steps to prevent cancer or detect it early, when it’s most treatable.
• Helping you get well by being in your corner around the clock and providing information to help make
decisions or free services like transportation to and from treatment and a place to stay when
undergoing treatment away from home.
• Finding cures by funding and conducting research into cancer’s causes, cures, and treatments; we’re
the largest non-governmental funder of cancer research in the United States, having spent more than
$3.4 billion on cancer research since 1946.
