USGA dated host record and researched Club identity
- Country Club Of Buffalo
  Official Club or regional association evidence corroborates the historical host identity for Country Club Of Buffalo; the dated USGA venue wording and canonical locality are retained separately. The Club history documents relocation after the 1912 championship. The modern Williamsville Course is not the historical host.
