Inducted, 1998

Harold (Hal) Lamb won five Utah State Amateur Championships and probably would have earned several more except for an timely death at the age of 38 from a ruptured appendix.

He won the Utah State Am in 1915, 1919, 1922, 1923, and 1924, and passed away before the next tournament. He was runner-up to the legendary George Von Elm in 1920 and 1921. He was also runner-up in 1916.In the 1924 State Am qualifying round he shot two under par 70, which at the time was the competitive course record.

In out of state competition he won the Southern California Amateur in 1916, and was runner-up in 1915 and 1918.

He was the 'visionary' behind the move of The Salt Lake Country Club from Forest Dale to its present site. He promoted the idea, and designed and built the course. Many people thought it was foolhardy to build a course six miles from town, but Lamb persisted and he left us a wonderful legacy, and a testament to his devotion to the game. The layout and design of the course received national acclaim. The construction of a highway through the course in 1961 made it necessary to change much of the original design.

Hal Lamb was born September 26, 1986 in California and died in May 1925. He married Grizzelle Houston and they had three children, Joe H. Lamb, Suzanna Lamb, and Harold B. Lamb. He was a landscapre architect and graduated from Cornell University.
