Honoring the
Past with Help for
the Future
Mrs. Ruth
Hill, known to all as "Granny", had a lifelong
passion for golf. Into her late 70's, she played
an incredible three times a week, enjoyed a
"Bud" at the turn, and always had a joke to
tell. Her smile brought joy and her grace
blessed all who knew her. The day of her 75th
birthday was very cold (so cold she had to wait
for the greens to thaw out!) but she was
determined to play 75 holes! Granny was not
about to let a little thing like the weather
spoil her birthday!
To honor her contributions to the game, and to
provide educational assistance to deserving
young Piney Point Members, this Scholarship fund was established in 1995. After
Granny's death, the name was changed to The
Granny Hill Memorial Scholarship. In 2006, the
Scholarship amount was increased from $500 to
$1,000! Membership certainly does have its
benefits! Eleven scholarships have been awarded
to deserving young men and women; a continuing
course of great play and successful futures
thanks to Granny Hill.
The scholarship will be awarded at the Annual
Meeting in April. Good luck!

"The hardest
shot is the chip at 90
yards from the green
where the ball has to
be played against an
oak tree, bounces back into
a sand trap, hits a
stone, bounces onto the
green, and then rolls
into the cup. That shot
is so difficult, I have
only made it once." Zeppo
Marx
