Description: The founder of "El Cab," Bernie Shapiro poses near the first tee besides his portrait, which has been hanging in the club for nearly 50 years. Shapiro formed the club in 1956 after encountering discrimination at other local clubs; he describes it as "the nation's first nonsectarian, nonprofit, member-owned golf and social club." El Caballero golf course was designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr.; it consists of 18 holes, the greens are made up of bent grass, and the fairways are made up of Bermuda grass. Nearing 90, Bernie Shapiro still goes to the club every day. Photograph dated April 7, 2002.
