All square with ICE, Pete League solved the problem of too few Canadian players this year to hold the Swift Matches, a Ryder Cup-style event between Canada and the U.S. that is part of the Onion Creek Classic. A few of the U.S. lads were volunteered to become Canadian citizens for the day. Hal Coward, who is a proud Texan, was one of the newly-made citizens. “Despite subsequent grousing that the Canadians had captured the cream of the U.S. talent, I have it on good authority that the loaning actually lowered the average handicaps of both teams,” Coward SPECIAL WIN. With his said. Perhaps so, but Team Canada, wherever its players 10-year-old daughter, Rylee, called home, took it to the U.S. side 17½ to 6½.

  • The Golfer's Annual for 1869-70
    ONE ILLIKG AND SIXPEN : No. G-/PO2.. * « GOLFER'S ANNUAL FOR 18.69-70. COMPILED AMD EDITED BY CHARLES MACARTHFR. AYE: TROTTED AND PUBLTSIIED BY HENRY & GRANT. 16 PKEFACE. GOLF, the National Game of Scotland, and one of the most enticing of out-door exercises, is now so extensively indulged in as to deserve, at least, some statistical publication. A few years ago a work similar1 to this was published, but was not continued. Since then the practice of the Game has rapidly extended; and many solicitations having recently boon made to the Editor to bring out a GOLFER'S ANNUAL, his love for the Game, and his desire to gratify Golfers and others, induced him to undertake the work. The ANNUAL contains much interesting matter, such as a record of all the Golf Clubs at present known, with their respective. Competitions and Tournaments during the last three years, the llules of the Game observed by different Clubs, as well as other incidents; and the details of tho Competitions for the Champion Belt since its institution by the Prestwick Golf Club have been deemed of sufficient importance to entitle them to consider- able space. While imperfections may be apparent, it. is hoped that, though not claimed on its merits, the object of the ANNUAL will secure it a passport for this year, and that sufficient encouragement will be j^'ven for the appearance of its suc- cessor. The thanks of the. Editor avo due, and are now warmly tendered, to the Secretaries of the different Clubs, and others, who so readily furnished information in aid of his efforts.' 1JRUNTON C'OTTAGK, LONDON ROAD, EDINBURGH, Fubfuaiu, 1S70.

Henry Shanks Captain of Lanark Golf Club 2001 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The source book for all researches into our Club history has to be the excellent Centenary Booklet prepared by Mr A. D. Robertson in 1951. The quality of his authorship and academic knowledge has to be acknowledged along with the fact that some of the material in this booklet has been borrowed from that source. The detailed and painstaking researches of the present Vice President Jimmy Steele into the Minute Books and his valuable and interesting synopsis have been another rich source. Written contributions have also been made by my editorial team of Past Captains George Thomson, John Watt and Brian Orr. Reminiscences by President Eddie Foulis and the late John Glaister and from many other Club members and officials have hopefully added considerably to the interest of the material used. The support of the 150th Anniversary Committee under the Chairmanship of Past Captain John Pearson and our present Club Secretary George Cuthill has also been invaluable. Many other Past Captains and other members including Miss Marion Bryce daughter of the late John Bryce, along with others who have also contributed material and photographs. They are so numerous that space does not allow them all to be named individually. Their valuable contributions are nevertheless very warmly acknowledged. I would also be failing in my obligations if I did not acknowledge the very valuable assistance of my proof readers and the computer expertise of Past Captain Bill Toy.

With growth at its peak there is little time for anything other than cutting, yet summer aeration of the greens and foliar feeding, all part of the summer programme, move on a pace. I am particularly pleased by members and visitor plaudits regarding course condition. All congratulations to competition winners, whether team or individual, details further on in the newsletter. Remember this is your newsletter so contribute. I also try to do a weekly update, at the beginning of the week, and if you wish to contribute with information please let me know. Just a gentle reminder that we have only 5 buggies and you can book online with your tee time. You need a number (see the office) and you create your own password. (Simples). A big thanks to all who returned the Member Satisfaction Survey. It is difficult to create a forward looking plan that meets members needs, without your input. I will publish the outcome on the main notice board and action areas with the appropriate people over the next few weeks. We are now looking forward and on the course, our convenor Adam Gray (busy man), will be working with head greenkeeper John on a winter programme. If you have expertise we would like to talk with you.
