Waren in den Meisterschaften bis 1928 bereits so große Namen wie die Open-Gewin- ner George Duncan oder Arthur Ha- vers angetreten, sollten später Aubrey Boomer, die Franzosen René Golias und Auguste Boyer sowie der legen- däre Henry Cotton der Veranstaltung Glanz verleihen. Bevor der Engländer Cotton zwischen 1937 und 1939 drei- mal nacheinander die German Open gewinnt, zeigt er sein Können bereits in zwei Ryder Cup-Turnieren 1929 und 1937. Überragend jedoch sind die Erfolge des britischen Professionals Percy Frank Lascelles (britischer Botschafter in Berlin) mit seiner Enkelin (1907 in Westend aufgenommen und vom Ururenkel George Raynor Mc Leod Alliss, der seit 1926 als Golflehrer in Arthur zur Verfügung gestellt). den Diensten des Wannsee-Golfclubs 6/2015 golfmanager 78 GOLFSPORT-HISTORIE voll des Lobes über den „Wannseer“ Percy Alliss, der sich nach der dritten Runde anschickt, seine vierte German Open in Folge zu gewinnen.

Golf-Legende Walter Hagen als Zugpferd Das Jahr 1929 soll mit der Austragung der 6. German Open in Wannsee einen besonderen Höhepunkt setzen.

  • Old Winburnians Newsletter – Spring 2021
    OLD WINBURNIANS NEWSLETTER – SPRING 2021 Dear Fellow Old Winburnians, Dare we, at last, begin to hope the worst lies in the past ? At least we now have some protection, thanks to the brilliance of scientists of different nationalities and the dedicated work of our health professionals and volunteers from many backgrounds. An excess of confidence in any area of human activity is always foolhardy, but those ‘broad, sunlit uplands’, to use Winston’s memorable words from their war-time context when our nation was in great peril, may now tantalisingly be glimpsed. We can even entertain the real possibility of a summer reunion when old friends may see one another again without fear. Let’s just hope the progress of recent months continues and we are able to resume ‘normal’ human activity once more. We have suffered a casualty or two directly from the pandemic (numbers are uncertain at this moment) and, inevitably, other old friends have left us through various forms of illness and old age. However, as survivors let us be grateful for our good fortune and take pleasure again in the company of our families and friends. What news you ask ? Well, John and I have been absolutely delighted by the response of a number of our members who have sent in their contributions from far and wide. This Newsletter is beyond doubt the most wide-ranging and weighty of all our publications and we hope the breadth and range of its contents will provide interest and pleasure for our far-flung membership. It really is extraordinary, isn’t it, that a school that closed half-a-century ago – and it was, by today’s standards, a small school – should still have an active old pupils’ association of 280 or so paid-up members.

Early starters on the Monday had to contend with a strong, bitingly cold wind, which abated in the afternoon. Conditions for the Tuesday and for the Championship proper on the following three days were ideal for low scoring. Probably the most notable player who failed to qualify was James Braid, by then 62 years old, and the winner of five Opens between 1901 and 1910. Gene Sarazen led the Championship after every round to finish in a record low score of 283, five shots ahead of Macdonald Smith and six ahead of Arthur Havers. Two rounds were played on the Friday and with a course record 68 in the third round, Arthur Havers moved to within four shots of Sarazen, but he was unable to repeat the performance in the afternoon when he carded a 76.
