Legacy and Memorial

 Over the years, the club has named two events after influential members. This page is dedicated to preserving the legacies, contributions, and memories of these members.

  • Len Saltysiak Memorial Putting Tournament

  • Dick Hall Memorial Turkey Shoot

  • Don Blair Memorial Spring Handicap

Len Saltysiak

A past Club President, a single digit handicapper, an ophthalmologist, and a member of the club for 25 plus years. Len was instrumental in ensuring the club remained strong during the course’s management transition from the Baltimore County Recreation and Parks to the Baltimore County Revenue Authority. The putting contest being named after him has to do with him being known as a “putting guru.” He also patented a putting game that was played during post-season banquets. Some old-time members may remember the game he called a “Salty,” where a putt that hit an upside-down target tee but only tiled it was awarded 3 points! Len passed away at 77 years of age on August 14, 2000.

Dick Hall

He played in Major League Baseball as a right-handed pitcher from 1952 – 1971, most notably as a member of the Baltimore Orioles. He pitched over 1300 innings and only threw one wild pitch and was the winning pitcher in the first MLB playoff game. He was inducted into the Orioles Hall of Fame in 1989. He was also an accountant and kept the FHMGC in good standing as the Club Treasurer from 1979 to 2013. In his prime, he routinely hit his driver inside the 100-yard marker on Hole #3. Dick passed away at 92 years of age on June 18, 2023. The annual “Turkey Shoot”, named in his memory, refers to his big-league nickname “Turkey” due to his prominent Adam’s apple. Dick is remembered as one of the most affable members the club ever had.

Don Blair

Served multiple terms as Club President and worked tirelessly as a member of the board.  Our records show that he was a member for more than a decade, and was remembered as an excellent golf companion, extremely accommodating, and always dressed for the occasion.  Don routinely volunteered to tackle the most difficult tasks and would deliver results that gained consensus amongst other board members.  In addition, prior to joining our club, Don served as the VP of the Geneva Farms Men’s Club where he helped establish the annual Toys for Tots event – a task that he continued as part of the FHMGC.  Born in Baltimore, MD, Don passed away at 71 years of age on June 3, 2024.  The annual Spring Handicap event has been renamed in his memory.  Don will be remembered as one of the club’s most outgoing and approachable members.
