  • Strong-Er Bunkers
    11/8/2017 Golf Course Industry Magazine - October 2017 - Strong-er bunkers COVER STORY Strong-er bunkers A Golden Age course with a major championship history completes a long-awaited project. Guy Cipriano The eighth green at Canterbury Golf Club in suburban Cleveland. © GUY CIPRIANO Years of careful pitching and planning didn’t prepare the Canterbury Golf Club turf team for the equipment caravan it witnessed last September. A club that nearly had everything – major championship history, soothing land in the shadows of downtown Cleveland, golf-loving members and one of the best collection of Herbert Strong-designed greens – was beginning the physical process of correcting a painful secret by embarking on a bunker renovation. “I honestly didn’t believe it was real until I saw the equipment come down the driveway,” superintendent Mike LoPresti says. Canterbury’s bunkers had been architecturally and structurally failing for decades. LoPresti understood the plight immediately after arriving from famed Oak Hill Country Club in December 2011, yet he followed a tradition of overcoming infrastructure challenges to produce solid conditions established by longtime superintendent Terry Bonar. When grueling days of pumping, pushing, shoveling and sand swapping ended, LoPresti quietly documented the strain the bunkers placed on his team. Cleveland averages 40 inches of annual rainfall, so bunker washouts and contaminated sand are as common i n the region as losing professional football seasons. Assistant superintendent Alan Hammond, who arrived in 2013 from Oak Hill, lives near the club and experienced dozens of deflating pre-renovation mornings, passing a greenside bunker protecting the left side of the ninth green on the way to the club’s maintenance building.

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). McGregor, as founder and General Manager, incorporated a new company on August 17th called the Ford Motor Company of Canada, with a capi- Tom, Maud and Grandma Duck and the Family Car (Region of Peel Archives) 60 tal of $125,000.

Smith George Griffin, Sr. Frank Moore Jimmy Thomson Clarence Hackney Byron Nelson Ted Turner The Leaders Alexander “Alec” “Alex” Duncan Born in Aberdeen, Scotland in 1887, Alex Duncan was the brother of the famous golf professional George Duncan who won the 1920 British Open. In 1911 he arrived in America with his brother George who came here to play exhibitions. The Philadelphia Cricket Club’s professional Willie Anderson had died in late 1910 and Alex was hired to replace him. Duncan had been an assistant at the Hanger Hill Club in the suburbs of London where George was the professional. On two occasions he was the professional and green superintendent at the Cricket Club. He was the professional at the Cricket Club from 1911 through 1915. In 1916 Duncan moved west and soon became the pro- fessional at the Chicago Golf Club. He returned to the Cricket Club in 1925 for another stay that lasted until his death 21 years later. In 1929 he was the tournament chairman and handled a difficult problem with the rules at the Section Championship to the satis- faction of all involved. In 1930 he was elected second vice president of the Section and the next year he was elected president. He served two years as the Philadelphia Section’s seventh president.
