Shelley Mayfield

Shelley Mayfield (born June 19, 1924) is an American golf course architect and professional golfer who played on the PGA Tour in the 1950s.

Mayfield was born in Liberty, Texas in the greater Houston area and grew up in Seguin near San Antonio. He was a star athlete in several sports at Seguin High School including golf, which he began playing at age 14. His team won several state championships under coach W.A. "Lefty" Stackhouse. Mayfield became a golf professional at the age of 24. Like most professional golfers of his generation, he earned his living primarily as a club pro. His first job was as an assistant for Claude Harmon at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York, a position he held for two years. The two later worked together at Seminole Golf Club in Florida for one year. He served as the head professional at Rockaway Hunting Club in Cedarhurst, New York from 1950–1952. In 1955, Mayfield went to work at the exclusive Meadowbrook Golf and Polo Club on Long Island, where he stayed until 1963. He then became the head club pro at Brook Hollow Country Club in Dallas until 1982 when he retired.cite news | title=Mayfield, Stackhouse receive recognition | author=Chiapek, Jason | date=May 29, 2007 | publisher=The Seguin Gazette-Enterprise |url=http://www.seguingazette.com/story.lasso?ewcd=f738882c684ae680 | accessdate=2007-11-21]
