Description:The influence of Fort Worth's oldest country club spread far beyond its membership and its boundaries. Golf's all-time greats -- among them Chick Evans, Francis Ouimet, and especially Babe Didrikson Zaharias -- played the River Crest links. Ben Hogan, another legend of the game, was a member. A famous NCAA swim coach got his start motivating River Crest kids to compete for ribbons. During the First World War, River Crest was a veritable Officers Club for the brass at Camp Bowie, the training base down the road. Besides sports and recreation, the book includes chapters on visual artists and authors who drew inspiration from the club. Among them were sculptor Electra Waggoner Biggs, painter Bill Bomar, and novelist Philip Atlee, the pseudonymous author of "The Inheritors," a page-turner about the idle rich, a novel that Texas Monthly rated among the "The 50+ Best Books on Texas."
