Additional All-Time Great and Pioneer Golfers History ADDITIONAL ALL-TIME GREAT AND PIONEER GOLFERS HISTORY MAKER GOLF The 24 golfers included in this set will hopefully serve as a useful supplement to the All-Time Great and Pioneer sets previously released by PLAAY Games. Additionally, with this release, every male golfer who has been inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame (as of the Class of 2021) now has a card for History Maker Golf; inductees in this set are denoted with a red ‘H’ next to their name. Whilst it is not always possible to access statistics for ‘historic’ golfers, especially the Pioneers, all the golfers in this set have been rated based on extensive research; the cards are rated so as to be consistent with the existing official sets, and each golfer’s card hopefully reflects his individual playing style as much as possible. Finally, please note that three of the golfers (Tony Jacklin, Kel Nagle and Peter Thomson) were originally released by PLAAY Games as a free giveaway in the June 2017 newsletter. Gideon Eames August 2020 Additional All-Time Great Golfers (H = Member of World Golf Hall of Fame) PETER ALLISS H (England) 1931 - Best known as a television presenter and commentator, Alliss won 20 professional tournaments, including three British PGA Championships, in 1957, 1962 and 1965, and had five top 10 finishes in the Open Championship. ISAO AOKI H (Japan) 1942 - First Japanese player to win on the PGA Tour and first Japanese man to be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. 80 professional victories and finished runner-up to Jack Nicklaus at the 1980 U.S. Open at Baltusrol. ÁNGEL CABRERA (Argentina) 1969 - Known affectionately as "El Pato" in Spanish ("The Duck") for his waddling gait. He is a two-time major champion, with wins at the U.S. Open in 2007 and the Masters in 2009, and was the first (and still only as of 2019) Argentine and South American to win either. JOE (J.B.) CARR H (Ireland) 1922 – 2004 One of the most successful amateurs in the history of golf, Carr won 42 significant tournaments in his career, was a member of a record 11 Walker Cup teams and, in 1967, was the first Irishman to play in the Masters. BOB CHARLES H (New Zealand) 1936 - One of the most successful left-handed golfers of all time, winning more than 70 titles over the course of his career, Charles was the first lefty to win a major (1963 Open Championship), and he beat his age twice during a tournament as a 71-year-old. NEIL COLES H (England) 1934 - Remarkable for his consistency and durability, Coles claimed 50 professional wins and was five times a top-ten finisher in the Open Championship. Even at the peak of his career though, he made few appearances in the United States because of his fear of flying. ROBERTO DE VICENZO H (Argentina) 1923 – 2017 Won a record 230 professional tournaments worldwide in his career, including eight on the PGA Tour and, most famously, the 1967 Open Championship. However, he is perhaps best remembered for signing an incorrect scorecard that kept him out of a playoff for the 1968 Masters Tournament. CLAUDE HARMON (USA) 1916 – 1989 Harmon recorded just 15 professional victories, but he won the 1948 Masters, was a three-time semi-finalist at the PGA Championship and finished third at the 1959 U.S. Open. Harmon was one of the few close friends of Ben Hogan and was the father of renowned coach and broadcaster, Butch Harmon. TONY JACKLIN H (England) 1944 - Jacklin was the most successful British player of his generation, winning two major championships, the 1969 Open Championship and the 1970 U.S. Open. He was also Ryder Cup captain from 1983 to 1989, Europe winning two and tying another of these four events. HERMAN KEISER (USA) 1914 – 2003 Keiser won the 1946 Masters and took $2,500 for first place, but won more than $1,000 additionally by betting on himself with local bookies at 20-to-1 odds. He was nicknamed "The Missouri Mortician" due to his serious demeanour on the golf course, and quiet way off it. SANDY LYLE H (Scotland) 1958 - 32 professional wins, including the 1985 Open Championship and 1988 Masters. Along with Nick Faldo and Ian Woosnam, he became one of Britain's top golfers during the 1980s, spending 167 weeks in the top 10 of the Official World Golf Ranking from its introduction, in 1986, until 1989. KEL NAGLE H (Australia) 1920 – 2015 94 professional wins, but best known for winning The Open Championship in 1960. He won at least one tournament each year from 1949 to 1975. TSUNEYUKI (“TOMMY”) NAKAJIMA (Japan) 1954 - Despite 56 professional victories, Nakajima is perhaps best known for two calamities at majors in 1978: at the Masters he made a record-high 13 at the par-5 13th hole and then, at the Open Championship at St Andrews, he took four strokes to get out of the Road Hole bunker, which was later nicknamed “The Sands of Nakajima.” CHRISTY O’CONNOR SNR. H (Ireland) 1924 – 2016 Sufficiently revered in his home country to be known simply as “Himself,” O’Connor recorded 64 professional victories, finished in the top 10 at the Open Championship on ten occasions, and competed in every Ryder Cup between 1955 and 1973. MASASHI (“JUMBO”) OZAKI H (Japan) 1947 - Known for his flamboyant demeanour and ever-present entourage, Jumbo Ozaki is the most successful player of all time on the Japan Golf Tour. He won 94 professional tournaments and, despite rarely playing outside of Japan, he featured in the top ten of the Official World Golf Rankings for almost 200 weeks from 1989 to 1998. JUAN ANTONIO (“CHI CHI”) RODRIGUEZ H (Puerto Rico) 1935 - Recorded 37 professional victories, including 8 on the PGA Tour and 22 on the PGA Champions Tour. A natural showman, he quickly became a fan favourite for his habit of covering the hole with his straw hat after making a birdie, or waving his putter like a swordsman after holing a putt of any length. PETER THOMSON H (Australia) 1929- 2018 95 professional wins, including the Open Championship five times between 1954 and 1965. Thomson is the only golfer to win a modern major three times in succession – The Open in 1954, 1955 and 1956. IAN WOOSNAM H (Wales) 1958 - Small in stature at 5 ft. 4½ in. but a powerful striker of the golf ball, Woosnam won the 1991 Masters and was World Number One in the Official World Rankings for 50 consecutive weeks throughout 1991 and 1992. Additional Pioneer Golfers BILLY BURKE (USA) 1902 – 1972 Burke (born Burkowski), used an unorthodox grip due to the loss of two fingers on his left hand and, in 1931, he was the first golfer to win the U.S. Open using steel-shafted clubs. Burke and George Von Elm were tied after regulation play, and it took two 36-hole playoffs over two days before Burke emerged victorious by one stroke. BOBBY CRUICKSHANK (Scotland) 1894 – 1975 Scotsman Cruickshank, who stood at just 5 ft. 5 in., moved to the United States after turning professional in 1921. He competed on the PGA of America circuit, the forerunner of today's PGA Tour, winning 17 times and recording 16 top ten finishes at majors between 1921 and 1937. ED DUDLEY (USA) 1901 – 1963 Standing at 6 ft.4 in., Dudley was known as “Big Ed” and was a 15-time winner on the PGA Tour. He finished 24 times in the top 10 at major championships, a record among players who did not win at least one major, and he served as the first head golf professional at Augusta National Golf Club, from 1932 to 1957. JOE KIRKWOOD SR. (Australia) 1897 – 1970 Kirkwood was the first Australian winner on the PGA Tour (in 1923), and he remains co-holder of the record for the widest winning margin in PGA Tour history, having won the 1924 Corpus Christi Open by 16 strokes. He would later gain greater fame as a trick-shot player, undertaking a number of lucrative tours with Walter Hagen. BILL MEHLHORN (USA) 1898 – 1989 Mehlhorn won 20 times on the PGA Tour in the 1920s and 30s, often wearing cowboy hats on the course and gaining the nickname "Wild Bill." He also finished 14 times in the top 10 at majors, with a best finish of runner- up to Walter Hagen at the PGA Championship in 1925. JOE TURNESA (USA) 1901 – 1991 The most successful of seven golfing brothers, Joe Turnesa recorded 22 professional victories and was a member of the first two USA Ryder Cup teams in 1927 and 1929.

Woosnam has the opportunity to join Bernhard Langer as the only player in tournament history to successfully defend his title. Langer, who accomplished the feat by winning the 2007 and 2008 Insperity Invitational, will not be competing this year so he can attend his daughter’s college graduation. Joining Woosnam will be seven other past winners of Houston’s PGA TOUR Champions event—Larry Nelson (2004), Mark McNulty (2005), Jay Haas (2006), John Cook (2009), Brad Faxon (2011), Fred Funk (2012) and Esteban Toledo (2013). In addition, five World Golf Hall-of-Fame members are currently in the field: Tom Kite, Mark O’Meara, Curtis Strange, Colin Montgomerie and Sandy Lyle. “The field for this year’s tournament will once again be a fantastic combination of golf’s legends, new PGA TOUR Champions members, Hall of Fame members and the best players in the world age 50 and over,” said Bryan Naugle, Executive Director of the Insperity Invitational. “We are excited with all aspects of the tournament both on and off the golf course. The fans in the Houston area are in for a real treat as this annual tradition continues.” There are eight categories of eligibility in the invitational format, making this event unique on the PGA TOUR Champions schedule.

  • Noteworthy Descendants of the Clan Grant
    Noteworthy Descendants of the Clan Grant Academia Isabel Frances Grant, MBE, LLD, was an author, historian, antiquarian, and founder of the Highland Folk Museum. Born in Edinburgh and educated in London, Dr. Grant was a descendant of the ancient family of Tullochgorm and the granddaughter of Field Marshal Sir Patrick Grant, GCB, GCMG. Dr. Grant wrote her first book, Everyday Life of an Old Highland Farm, in 1924. While traveling in Europe, she was influenced by the open air museum movement of the early 20th century. She started collecting items of Highland material culture and founded the Highland Folk Museum, called Am Fasgadh (The Shelter), firstly on the island of Iona, and later at Kingussie in Badenoch in 1944. Today, the museum is situated in Newtonmore. In recognition for her pioneering efforts, Miss Grant was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Laws from the University of Edinburgh in 1948 and elevated to the rank of MBE in 1959. Dr. Grant wrote a number of books during her long life, including The Lordship of the Isles (1935), Highland Folk Ways (1961), and Periods in Highland History (1987, published posthumously with Hugh Cheape, PhD). Dr. I.F. Grant died in 1983 at the age of 96. Robert Edmond Grant, MD, FRCPE, FRS (1793-1874) established the Grant Museum of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy at University College, London, in 1828. He was born in Edinburgh and studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh.

  • Playing Hickory Golf While You Piece Together a Vintage Set
    CHAPTER 10 cmyk 4/11/08 5:13 PM Page 165 Chapter Title CHAPTER 10 Questions And Answers About Hickory Golf Q: How much does it cost to get started in hickory golf? A: You can purchase inexpensive hickory clubs for as little as $25 each. Obviously, these are not likely to be of a premium quality and will probably require work to make them playable. At Classic Golf, we offer fully restored Tom Stewart irons for about $150 each with a one-year warranty on the shafts against breakage. Our restored woods are about $250 each for the premium examples. So, a ten-club set with two woods would run $1,700. A 14-club set would be $2,300. This compares favorably with the purchase of a premium modern 14-club set where your irons are $800, your driver is $400, fairway wood $200, two wedges at $125 each, hybrid at $150, and a putter at $200 for a total of $2,000. Q: Can a beginner or high handicap golfer play hickory golf? A: Yes. That is how it was done 100 years ago! It can be an advantage starting golf with clubs that require a more precise swing. Q: Are there reproduction clubs available and are they allowed in hickory tournaments? A: Reproduction clubs are available from Tad Moore, Barry Kerr, and Louisville Golf. Every tournament has its own set of rules. The National Hickory Championship allows reproductions because pre-1900 clubs are so difficult to find and are very expensive. At the present time there are ample supplies of vintage clubs available for play, but this could change with the increasing popularity of hickory golf.

  • Inaugural Version Of
    Inaugural Version of September 12-15, 2018 Message from The Centennial Chairmen Glenn Brander & Jeff Haar rentwood Country Club has a surprisingly long history. In fact, in 1916, Brentwood’s first 9 holes B opened, and one year later, its second 9 holes opened. Over the past several decades, Brentwood has hosted many great member-guest tournaments, most no- tably The Brentwooder. The Brentwooder has provided our members ONE opportunity each year to play alongside a guest of their choice in a meaningful, highly competitive, match play tournament. The Brent- wooder has long been, and will continue to be, a premiere tournament at Brentwood Country Club. In the past several years, as our competitive golf culture has grown, our Brentwooder tournament has sold out with a wait list. And so, many of our members were shut out from playing in the tournament. A realization set in that there was clearly an appetite from our membership for competitive, member-guest tournament golf, and one event a year wasn’t going to satisfy this appetite. It has long been a desire of ours to tie our club’s rich history, our heritage, to a singular, annual event.
