Smith and Hagen were the outstanding men of the year among the profes- sionals. During the regular playing season they each wo the same number of tournaments and their average scores in major and minor competitions were less than 72, Hagen’s being 71-11/24, and Smith’s 71-11/23—marvellous figures. It was not so very long ago that scores of 300 or more would win championships. Not so to-day, however. A player who can’t beat 300 hasn’t a show ‘‘to get into the money”’ at all. Willie Anderson won the U.S. Open Championship three years in a row in 1903, 1904 and 1905 with scores of 307, 303 and 314, whilst Vardon won the British Open six times in 1896, 1898, 1899, 1903, 1911 and 1914 with scores of 316, 307, 310, 300, 303 and 306. Compared with the scores returned in major 596 ~ CANADIAN GOLFER Vol. 12, No. 8 Championships to-day those of the great players of the past were generally 10 to 20 strokes behind the present champions. Serious It really looks as though the United States Golf Association Clashing of and the Royal and Ancient of St. Andrews, who have been Dates Between working in great harmonythe past few years, were coming to R. and A. and. a clash the forthcoming season. The Royal and Ancient some U.S. G. A weeks ago, announced June 20th as the week for the British Open at St. Andrews, and now the U.S. G. A. has also decided to hold the U.S. Open at the Oakmont Club, Pittsburgh, the same week. That of course means that Bobby Jones and other of the American stars will not be able to participate in both championships and an International complexion will be removed from the tournaments. This is most regrettable. A strong team of British pros. had announced their intention to come to America next year and play a return match with the U. S. pros., and subsequently participate in the U. S. Open. Nowthe fat is in the fire, and it would seem that International competitions will be a thing of the past. In the best interest of the gameit is hoped that even yet wiser counsel will prevail and this clashing of dates be rectified. Jones, the holder of both the British and U. S. Open titles, has already an- nounced that owing to business engagements next year, he would be unable to defend his British title at St. Andrews, but other of his compatriots would probably have taken the trip. And then as above noted, a number of British professionals intended to take part in the U. S. Open if the dates.\as usual had been in July. The whole incident is certainly most regrettable. In connection with the discussion, Mr. Herbert H. Ramsay, Secretary of the U.S. G. A., states definitely that no new effort will be made to have the date of the British Open changed. The casting of the die by the United States officials comes after a long controversy, he says, in which the moving forward of the British Open to May or early June has been sought, owing to peculiar weather conditions prevailing in the United States. A WONDERFUL TOUR, GOLFING AND OTHERWISE XTRACTS from a delightful letter received from Mr. R. H. Greene, of Toronto, who with Mrs. Greene has been spending over a year in touring e Europe, and who are now in Paris: a ‘‘¥ read with interest what the ‘Canadian Golfer’ had to say about the Seniors’ Ninth n Tournament, which certainly was a success, with 150 teeing off.

    Met Open Championship Presented by Callaway 103rdAugust 21 - 23, 2018 Wykagyl Country Club History of the Met Open Championship Presented by Callaway From its inception in 1905 through the 1940 renewal, the Met Open was considered one of the most prestigious events in golf, won by the likes of Gene Sarazen, Walter Hagen, Johnny Farrell, Tommy Armour, Paul Runyan, Byron Nelson, and Craig Wood, in addition to the brothers Alex and Macdonald Smith (who together captured seven Met Opens, with Alex winning a record four times). The second edition of the championship was hosted and sponsored by Hollywood Golf Club, when George Low won in 1906. After an eight-year hiatus overlapping World War II, the Met Open became more of a regional championship, won by many of the top local club professionals, among them Claude Harmon, Jimmy Wright, Jim Albus, David Glenz, Bobby Heins and Darrell Kestner, not to mention such storied amateurs as Chet Sanok, Jerry Courville Sr., George Zahringer III, Jim McGovern, Johnson Wagner, and Andrew Svoboda. The purse was raised to a record $150,000 in 2007, giving the championship added importance. In 2015 the MGA celebrated a major milestone in marking the championship’s 100th playing, won by Ben Polland at Winged Foot Golf Club. In 2017, The MGA welcomed a new Championship Partner, Callaway Golf. Callaway Golf is the presenting sponsor of the Met Open Championship. Eligibility The competition is open to golfers who are: 1.

  • May 7, 2020 to the MEMBERS of the UNITED STATES CONGRESS
    May 7, 2020 TO THE MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS: On behalf of the undersigned chambers of commerce, civic groups, trade associations, and other non-profits, we urge you to extend eligibility for the Paycheck Protection Program to all nonprofit organizations when Congress considers the next COVID-19 emergency assistance legislation. Thousands of nonprofit organizations — including ours — were left out of the Phase 3 CARES Act and are being hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic. Our groups contribute to the vitality and spirit of our communities. We employ thousands of people and provide important workforce development and educational tools, economic support, and civic and cultural events. Our organizations have suffered major financial losses due to the pandemic of the type the Paycheck Protection Program was intended to alleviate. Some non-profits have already permanently closed their doors. Many more will be forced to do so without relief from Congress. The CARES Act made certain nonprofit organizations eligible for the Paycheck Protection Program. We urge Congress to extend this assistance to local chambers of commerce, civic groups, trade associations, and other non-profits so that organizations like ours can continue to provide important, community-minded services. Sincerely, National American Institute of CPAs American International Automobile Dealers Agricultural Retailers Association Association Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute American Iron and Steel Institute American Apparel & Footwear Association

The result was a special niblick with a rear one-quarter of an inch lower than-the frout edge of the blade. In other words, it is designed with a rudder like an airpl ane, and its effect was amazing. I don't fear the traps now. I even seek them, as I did on two holes of the 1D32 world's championship match with Francis Ouimet. I mean that I played for the traps while Ouimet played for the pin, and I won both holes, as I fully expected to. I knew, you see, that the pin s were not advantageously placed; that Ouimet's pitch shots wouldn't hold the green, but would roll over into the rough.

Because everyone was used to horse drawn (Ford Motor Company of Canada Archives) wagons, the new contraption became called “the horse- less carriage.” Part Three 1901 - 1950 he first gasoline-powered automobiles were invented by Americans Charles and Frank Duryea in 1893. They started Tmanufacturing at their Duryea Motor Wagon Company factory in Springfield, Massachusetts. In 1896, Frank Duryea traveled with the Barnum & Bailey Circus and drove his car around the ring. Henry Ford began to manufacture cars in Detroit, Michigan, in 1903, and others followed. The Ford Motor Company was worth $100,000 U.S. in 1903 and by 1927 had escalated to $700 million. The first Model T advertisement appeared in the Saturday Evening Post in 1908 with a price tag of $280. The mass production in the first decade by Henry Ford brought about a tremendous change in transportation. The day of the horse drawn wagons and carriages would become passe. The automobile was here to stay. The right to manufacture cars in Ontario was acquired in 1904 by 31 year old Gordon Morton McGregor, the president of the Walkerville Wagon Company in Walkerville (Windsor).
