The PGA Tour purses were rapidly increasing and most of the tournaments were televised. There were concerns that there was too much golf being shown on TV. Playing the PGA Tour was a distant thought for most club pros. People were retiring earlier and more women were taking up the game so the rounds of golf were in- creasing each year. Senior golf was becoming very popular and the Phila- delphia Section was in on another first, as the Atlantic City Country Club would host the first official tournament of the new Senior PGA Tour.

  • The Legend of the Kaanapali Golf Resort
    The Legend of the Kaanapali Golf Resort When you consider all the great golf courses on the island of Maui, it is impossible to overlook the “Grand-daddy” of them all, the Royal Kaanapali Course. The Royal Kaanapali is one of only two courses in the State of Hawaii designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. (the other being the Mauna Kea Golf Club on the Big Island). This legendary course boasts decades of memorable moments in professional golf history. The challenge of the unpredictable West Maui trade winds and the huge rolling signature greens has lured many of the world’s all-time greatest golfers. Let’s join Kaanapali’s historical spectator gallery…. July, 1962…The Royal Kaanapali Course opened with a bang when the original crooner, Bing Crosby, christened play with the first-ever Kaanapali foursome. Although we don’t have his scorecard, legend has it that he played a solid round with an equal mixture of birdies and bogies. July, 1963…“ Shell’s Wonderful World of Golf,” an ABC television series, made its Hawaiian debut on the Royal Kaanapali Course. A match-play series, this duel featured Dave Regan from the USA and Bob Charles from New Zealand. Regan birdied the first hole to take an early lead, but Charles rebounded with a beautiful round of 66 to easily outplay his opponent. Kaanapali became a favorite to this New Zealander, whose future held more than just this win. December, 1964… Royal Kaanapali hosted the Canada Cup (now recognized as the World Cup of Golf). Many great golfers represented their countries, including Chi Chi Rodriguez (Puerto Rico), Bob Charles (New Zealand), Peter Thompson (Australia) and the Black Knight, Gary Player (South Africa).

  • 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.
