- 7. A message from Club Presidents John Long (2006), Paul Dudley (2007), and Edward Santamaria (2008): El Paso Country Club (EPCC) celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2006. The oldest golf clubs in the United States were begun in the late 1800s, making EPCC one of the oldest clubs in the country. To celebrate its centennial in 2006, EPCC held a variety of events. In June, we had a party on our front lawn with wonderful jazz music, food, and libations along with golf and tennis tournaments and a swimming party. The centennial committee prepared exhibits to highlight the colorful history and people of EPCC throughout the years. In October, we had a black-tie dinner and dance party that featured dances from each decade of the century. A centennial DVD was produced to highlight the rich history of the club. EPCC has a tradition of being a family club through its championship golf course and tennis, swimming, fitness, and dining facilities. In this book, you will discover EPCC’s rich and colorful history. We have members who have won major professional and NCAA golf and tennis championships. We have hosted a number of professional golf tournaments and, since 1974, the College All-American Golf Classic. Bill Eschenbrenner, our golf pro emeritus, was selected as the professional of the year in 2006 by the Professional Golfers Association of America (PGA). Special thanks to the members of the centennial committee for their work on centennial events and production of this book: Fred Albers, Neil Baker, Susie Best, Bill Dahlberg, Carolyn Overley, and Don and Sheryll Van Pelt. We thank all of our past and present members of EPCC for being a part of our wonderful history. We hope that the next one hundred years are as colorful and meaningful to our member families.
