Welcome to the Griesedieck Men's Championship

This year's Men's Championship will be 100th playing of this event.  The Championship became known as the Griesedieck Men's Championship, after Alvin Griesedieck, the Son of the founder of Griesedieck Brothers Brewing Company (which later became Falstaff Brewing Company). The first Griesedieck Trophy was presented in 1967.  Notables who have won the Men's Championship include Bob Goalby (1955) who won the Masters in 1968; Jay Haas, longtime PGA Professional; Jim Holtgrieve, noted Amateur and former Captain of the Walker Cup teams; and many other notable amateurs from the St. Louis area.  In 2017, Skip Berkmeyer captured his 5th Men's Championship.
