If There are enough uncertainties in a game of golf with- out being compelled to speculate on the varying qualities of the ball. 11 A Haskell Ball is just about the surest thing in golf, and its popularity is largely due to the fact that its use does inspire confidence. The player soon learns its possibilities and particularly relies on the long true Haskell flight to help the score. 11 From the rubber core to the tough gutta percha cover the Haskell is perfectly made, and likewise differently made from any other ball.

  • Harold Hilton's Playoff Victory Was "Etched in Stone" in 1911 at the U.S
    Harold Hilton's Playoff Victory was "Etched in Stone" in 1911 at the U.S. Amateur Championship at Apawamis Country Club, Rye, New York "Golf History with Peter Alliss" iPad App Premium Content not in the App The 1911 U. S. Amateur Championship was held at the Apawamis Club in Rye, NY. Started in 1895 when the status of wealthy amateur golfers far exceeded that of professionals, the U.S. Amateur Championship was considered the most important American golf tournament of its day. Viewed as a major championship during its early decades, the U.S. Amateur declined in importance between World Wars as professionals moved to the forefront. The 1911 U. S. Amateur attracted a stellar field of players that included the first U.S. Amateur Champion Charles B. MacDonald, who was one of the founders of the USGA and a key force behind the creation of the tournament, and then two-time U.S. Amateur Champion Jerry Travers, who would win the title again in 1912 and 1913. Australian-born golfer and sports writer Walter Travis was a three-time U.S. Amateur Champion who also had a British Amateur Championship under his belt. Former champion Robert Gardner had won the title in 1909 at the age of 19, becoming the youngest winner of the event until Tiger Woods in 1994. An unknown former caddie named Francis Ouimet failed to qualify but gained experience for his future U.S. Open and U.S. Amateur wins. English champion Harold Hilton of Royal Liverpool cut an imposing figure on the course.
