History - 60th Anniversary

On Saturday, June 9th, Crestwood Country Club celebrated it's 60th Anniversary with a concert, buffet dinner and fireworks.  Crestwood was incorporated in April of 1958.  Ten couples in Pittsburg began discussing their vision for a social country club and golf course several years before this.  Ed Phelps was encouraged by the other couples to sit at the head of the table and get things going.  George Nettels, one of the Founders and a President in 1960 is still a member today.  Although Mr. Nettels was not in attendence, Jean Barber was acknowledged as the next longest standing member.  Assisted by her son Martin, she graciously cut the birthday cake.  Jean joined around 1960 or 1961.  She has been golfing until last season when playing "a few holes" wasn't enough and she retired her clubs.  Jean has been considered the "matriarch" of the Crestwood Women's Association and was the instigator of the existing ladies evening league the year she was President.
