  • The Happy Golfer

    The Happy Golfer

    The Happy Golfer By Henry Leach The Happy Golfer CHAPTER I THE SEVEN WONDERS OF GOLF, AND THE ABIDING MYSTERY OF THE GAME, WITH A THOUGHT UPON TRADITIONS AND THEIR VALUE. The first of the seven wonders of golf is a mysterious fascination that it sets towards mankind, from which, overwhelming and enduring, no people are immune. The game seizes men of all ages, of every nationality, all occupations, dispositions, temperaments—all of them. The charm acts upon men and women alike. Sometimes we have suspected that males are more whole-hearted golfers; but there are circumstances of quick recurrence to cause a doubt, and even were there none the fancied difference would be capable of explanation. It has nearly become an established rule that they golf the most who golf the last, for there is no man of the links so keen, so simple and humble in his abandonment to the game, as he who but lately held aloof and laughed, with many a gibe upon the madness of the class. Savages have attempted golf and found they liked it, and the finest intellects are constantly exercised upon its difficulties. So this diversion, pastime, game has become a thing of everywhere and everybody as no other sport of any kind has ever done. The number of people who play no golf decreases daily, and events of the last ten years have shown that its supremacy as the chief of games is sure. It is clear, indeed, that, so far as the numbers attached to it are concerned, it is still only at its beginning, in toddling infancy.

Trenham The Leaders and The Legends 1916 to 1921 The Leaders The Legends Bill Byrne Jim Barnes Eddie Loos Wilfrid Reid Emmett French Ben Nicholls Frank Sprogell George Kerrigan James R. Thomson The Leaders William C. “Bill” “Willie” Byrne Bill Byrne was born in England to Irish parents in 1882 and his family immigrated to the United States in 1887. He grew up in the East Falls section of Philadelphia. Along with many other young boys from East Falls he got his start in golf caddying at the Philadelphia Country Club. He turned pro and served as a club maker under Ben Nicholls at the Country Club. Byrne served as the head professional at Aronimink Golf Club, Delaware Country Field Club and Overbrook Golf Club be- fore settling in at the St. Davids Golf Club where he was the head professional from 1914 to 1927. He served on the national PGA executive committee during its first year in 1916. In December of 1921 he attended the founding meeting of the Philadel- phia Section PGA and was a member of the organizing committee. Byrne could have held office in the Section but he declined saying that he would work for the Section in any way that he could be of assistance, but he did not wish to hold office. He was one of the most respected instructors in the Philadelphia area. Byrne also held golf professional positions in the Section at the Aronimink Golf Club, Delaware County Field Club, and the Overbrook Golf Club.

Rodman was the son of John Wanamaker, founder of the Wanamaker’s Department Store. Some of the amateurs present that day were Francis Quimet, A.W. Tillinghast and John G. Anderson. Wanamaker’s imported golf equipment from Great Britain and sold it at retail to the public in their stores and wholesale to the golf professionals. The Wanamaker fam- ily thought that if they could help organize the golf professionals it would aid the growth of golf in America and create more customers for their company. Rodman Wanamaker offered to provide a trophy for a PGA Championship and $2,500 towards the purse.
