The Centennnial History of The Country Club of Birmingham, reports on some of Robley’s accomplishments as a golfer. “The 1927 AGA was held on the new course. Robley (Bob) Munger defeated club member Bill Moughon, 2 and 1 in the 36-hole finals. Munger had first played golf with his father, Robert Sylvester Munger, and his brothers on the old cow pasture course near Elmwood Cemetery. In the 1920 city championship, Bob was victor, his brothers Eugene won the second flight and Lonnie took the third.
