CONGRATS-ST. ANDREWS GOLF
HR 597 is a ceremonial resolution congratulating St. Andrews Golf & Country Club in West Chicago on its 100th anniversary in operation (2026). The Illinois House of Representatives formally recognized the club's history as Illinois' oldest family-owned golf course, owned by the Jemsek-Hinckley family for five generations since 1926. This resolution does not create new laws or policies; it is a symbolic gesture expressing legislative esteem, including plans to present a copy to the club. It directly affects no individuals or entities beyond acknowledging the club's community contributions.
