Golf, the Flag, and the 1917 Western Amateur By Stephen R. Lowe Within hours of the horrifying events of Tuesday, September 11, 2001, President Bush told the nation that it had just entered its first war of the new century. For days afterward, little else seemed to matter. Our sports-crazed nation approved the cancellation of professional team schedules through the following weekend. The PGA Tour cancelled its event as well, and the long-anticipated Ryder Cup matches, where the European squad looked to settle their Brookline beef at the Belfry, became another quick casualty. Those early cancellations of sports events were easy calls. The following week, though, baseball, football, golf, and everything else American began again, if sometimes awkwardly. The role of sports in times so serious as war has always been tricky. When is it okay to play? As Americans fight the first war of a new century, golf fans may find some helpful perspective in the first war of the last one.

  • Te Western Amateur Championship
    Te Western Amateur Championship Records & Statistics Guide 1899-2020 for te 119t Westrn Amatur, July 26-31, 2021 Glen View Club Golf, Il. 18t editon compiled by Tim Cronin A Guide to The Guide –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Welcome to the 119th Western Amateur Championship, and the 18th edition of The Western Amateur Records & Statistics Guide, as the championship returns to the Glen View Club for the first time since the 1899 inaugural. Since that first playing, the Western Amateur has provided some of the best competition in golf, amateur or professional. This record book allows reporters covering the Western Am the ability to easily compare current achievements to those of the past. It draws on research conducted by delving into old newspaper files, and by going through the Western Golf Association’s own Western Amateur files, which date to 1949. A few years ago, a major expansion of the Guide presented complete year-by-year records and a player register for 1899 through 1955, the pre-Sweet Sixteen era, for the first time. Details on some courses and field sizes from various years remain to be found, but no other amateur championship has such an in-depth resource. Remaining holes in the listings will continue to be filled in for future editions. The section on records has been revised, and begins on page 8. This includes overall records, including a summary on how the medalist fared, and more records covering the Sweet Sixteen years. The 209-page Guide is in two sections. Part 1 includes a year-by-year summary chart, records, a special chart detailing the 37 players who have played in the Sweet Sixteen in the 63 years since its adoption in 1956 and have won a professional major championship, and a comprehensive report on the Sweet Sixteen era through both year-by-year results and a player register.

Several days before the first day of play … The south wing of Exmoor’s clubhouse was destroyed by fire. Move the event to another club? “Never,” declared club President B. F. Cummins and his event committee. Determined to stage this prestigious tournament, Exmoor members rallied: • Tents were erected to accommodate officials Exmoor’s H.

The event was a resounding success and established Exmoor as a club capable of staging national golf championships. In match play, Egan marched through the field: Won 7 & 6 over G. A.

  • Four Seasons Resort: Aviara Course 1
    Four Seasons Resort: Aviara Course 1 Aviara Golf Course er beliggende nord for San Diego med udsigt over Batquitos Lagoon i Carlsbad. Både Golf Digest og Golf Magazine har udnævnt Avaria til at være én af de bedste resort-baner i Amerika. Det er en klub med faciliteterne i orden, bla. et klubhus på 3.000 m2. Aviara er i særlig grad modelleret til at indpasse sig i det eksisterende landskab. Vand hazards synes nærmest at være en naturlig forlængelse af Batquitos Lagoon. Under en runde på banen er det næste som at spille i en botanisk have. Den lokale vegetation folder sig ud i et overflødighedshorn af forskellige smukke planter. Fra flere huller er der en fantastisk udsigt over Stillehavet, der også sender drilske vinde gennem de dale, som banen bugter sig gennem. Her skal du passe på ikke at lade de mange synsindtryk forstyrre dit spil, ellers kan runden blive meget lang - banen er fra bagerste tee 6.400 meter! Banen blev åbnet i 1991 og er designet af Arnold Palmer.
