  • History of Royal Cromer Golf Club Established 1888
    History of Royal Cromer Golf Club established 1888 Information obtained from minute books, letters, members records, journals and periodicals. Royal Cromer Golf Club History Established 1888 Royal Cromer Golf Club owes its existence to the enthusiasm and love of the game of a Mr. Henry Broadhurst M.P., a Scot who lived at 19, Buckingham Street, The Strand, London. In the 1880's, whilst holidaying in Cromer, he recognised the potential of land to the seaward of the Lighthouse as a possible site for a Links Course. The popularity of North Norfolk at this time had been noted in the London City Press in a report dated 5th September 1886: "The public are greatly indebted to railway enterprise for the opening up of the East Coast. More bracing air and delightful sands are not to be found in any part of England. The only drawback is that the country is rather flat. This remark, however, does not apply to Cromer, which bids fair to become the most popular watering place, it being entirely free from objectionable features". The site of the proposed golf course was owned by the then Lord Suffield KCB, who kindly consented to the request of Broadhurst and some twenty other enthusiasts to rent the land. The Club was instituted in the Autumn of 1887 with Lord Suffield as President. Doubtless it was his friendship and influence with the Prince of Wales which precipitated the Prince's gracious patronage of the infant club on 25th December 1887. Thus Cromer had a Royal Golf Club even before its official opening the following January.

    Press Release America’s Auto Auction, Inc. 5949 Sherry Lane, Suite 1250 Dallas, Texas 75225 www.americasautoauction.com Contact: Penny J. Wanna Phone: (615) 591-4544 Facsimile: (615) 595-0563 Email: [email protected] Crown Vic Making Golf History to Sell at America’s Auto Auction, Chicago A 2005 Crown Victoria with an unusual place in golf history will cross the auction block later this month at America’s Auto Auction, Chicago. An unmarked police vehicle being retired by the Village of Lombard, Illinois, the car figured prominently in the final day of competition during the 2012 Ryder Cup at nearby Medinah Country Club, when deputy police chief Pat Rollins whisked European golfer Rory McIlroy to the golf course with just minutes to spare before his tee-time. McIlroy’s 20-minute ride in the Crown Vic made the difference between Team Europe’s win and loss. The 2012 Ryder Cup, held in September, was one for the record books as the best comeback cup in the event’s 85-year history. The Europeans were down 10-6 going into the final day of play, and the US team required only 4-1/2 points to take the championship. By the end of the tournament, Europe had scored 14-1/2 points to the US team’s 13-1/2 points to win, a slim margin of victory that would have vanished but for McIlroy’s trip to the golf course, courtesy of the Lombard police department and the Crown Vic. A two-time major champion and the #1-ranked player in the world, McIlroy thought his tee-time was at 12:25 on the last day of the competition.

  • The Burden of Glory: Competing for Non-Monetary Incentives in Rank
    The Burden of Glory: Competing for Non-monetary Incentives in Rank-order Tournaments Suggested running head: “The Burden of Glory” RAJA KALI Department of Economics. Sam M. Walton College of Business. University of Arkansas Henry Angus Building, 2053. Fayetteville, AR 72701-1201 [email protected] DAVID PASTORIZA* (corresponding author) Department of International Business. HEC Montréal. Chemin de la Cote-Sainte-Catherine, 3000. Montréal, Canada.

H3T 2AT [email protected] The Burden of Glory: Competing for Non-monetary Incentives in Rank-order Tournaments Abstract In an environment in which elite, highly-paid professionals compete for non-monetary rewards, we find evidence of underperformance. Our analysis suggests that choking under pressure from high-stakes non-monetary rewards is behind the underperformance. This implies that high stakes non-monetary rewards can create meaningful pressure on individuals and lead to worse performance, a distinct issue that has yet to be adequately examined. These findings come from an examination of the behavior of top US golfers competing to earn a place on the US Ryder Cup team via their performance in PGA Tour tournaments with differing allocations of Ryder Cup qualifying points. Keywords: Competition, non-monetary incentives, high stakes, choking, performance, risk-taking, intimidation The Burden of Glory: Competing for Non-monetary Incentives in Rank-order Tournaments Abstract: In an environment in which elite, highly-paid professionals compete for non- monetary rewards, we find evidence of underperformance.
