Verified 2026-10-23 - Midlothian Country Club
WGA identifies July 9-14 Midlothian Country Club, Blue Island, Ill. 6,503 yards, par 72 as the 1917 host. Club-level venue only; historical physical-course identity remains unasserted. The institution and city are verified, but independent historical physical-course continuity is not established in this batch. Keep club-only; do not bind a current course by name alone.
