In this first installment of our deep dive into the storied history of Oakmont Country Club, we're joined by club historian Dave Moore to explore Oakmont's formative years - before the US Opens, before the national spotlight. We uncover the vision of founder HC Fownes, the bold architectural principles that shaped the course, and how Oakmont's fierce identity was forged long before it became a championship icon. This is the origin story of one of golf's most revered venues.
