Rick Hartmann
Richard Hartmann (born c. April 1959) is an American professional golfer. Hartmann turned pro in the early 1980s and subsequently tried out for the PGA Tour several times. However, he was unsuccessful and decided to play in Europe. Hartmann played on the European Tour for 10 years and recorded a number of high finishes. However, the general consensus was that he had "mixed success" as his performance was erratic and he failed to win. In 1994, he quit life as a touring professional and started working as a club pro on Long Island. Hartmann also played on the local club pro circuit, the Met PGA. Hartmann had incredible success on the circuit, winning every significant tournament, often multiple times, and was generally regarded as one of the "finest club pros" in the country during the era. Early life Hartmann was born in Bridgehampton, New York and grew up in Huntington, New York on Long Island. His parents were Larry and Dorothy and he has two brothers. In the late 1960s, when H ...

Bridgehampton, New York
Bridgehampton is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) on the South Fork of Suffolk County, New York, United States. The population was 1,756 at the 2010 census. Bridgehampton is in the town of Southampton, on Long Island. Shortly after the founding of Southampton in 1640, settlers began to move east to the area known by the Shinnecock Indians as Sagaponack and Mecox. At the head of Sagg Pond, the settlers established a community called Bullhead, later renamed Bridgehampton—after the bridge built across the pond. Sagg Bridge was built in 1686 by Ezekiel Sandford. The bridge was the link between Mecox and Sagaponack and gave this locality its name of Bridgehampton. The notorious criminal and memoirist Stephen Burroughs lived there during the 18th century and helped found the town's first library in 1793; the volumes he purchased could be found in the Bridgehampton Public Library as late as 2002. Bridgehampton became the home of the horse show known as the Hampton Clas ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
