Tournament History
Richard "Dick" Pickup, a devoted golfer, generous philanthropist, and studied investor, passed away on April 25, 2024. While his generosity and leadership in the community were widely recognized, those who knew him best remember him first and foremost for his passion for the game of golf.
Dick’s enduring love of golf, especially tournament play, reflected his spirit of competition, camaraderie, and joy in the game. The Pickup Invitational proudly honors his legacy and the passion for golf he shared with all of us.
A short-game master, he was rarely seen without his hickory-shafted Callaway wedge in hand. A true competitor, Dick played in and won countless golf tournaments across California, winning numerous trophies at The Vintage Club, Big Canyon and Rock Creek Country Club. Dick played in The Cravens at San Gabriel Golf Club for 53 years and holds the distinction of being the oldest player ever to compete.
The Pickup, inspired by The Cravens Invitational, will honor Dicks legacy in what we envision to be the ultimate gathering of golf, camaraderie, and fellowship.
