Preliminary discussions held during the 1979 PGA Seniors Championship led to the formation of a Senior Advisory Council. The Council members for 1980 included Dan Sikes, Chairman; Sam Snead, Honorary Chairman, Julius Soros, Gardner Dickinson, Bob Goalby, Don January and Bob Rosburg. This council met on January 16, 1980, at Ponte Vedra, FL, and established recommendations as to eligibility and tournament format which would assure the participation of leading players in Senior TOUR tournaments. Recommendations of the Senior Advisory Council were accepted by the Tour- nament Policy Board of the TOUR, and the Senior TOUR made its debut with the $125,000 Atlantic City Seniors International, at the Atlantic City Country Club in Atlantic City, NJ, June 19-22, 1980. At the recommendation of the Senior Advisory Council, eligibility for Senior TOUR competition was established on two criteria: leadership in career earnings and leadership in career victories. With players made eligible by these rules, the basic format for Senior TOUR competition was established to include a field of 50 players, with 40 players to be determined by the two eligibility criteria and 10 players selected by tournament sponsors and through qualifying competitions. Administrator of the Senior TOUR is Brian Henning, who also serves as Director of Tournament Administration for the TOUR. Inquiries about the Senior TOUR may be addressed to Henning in care of the TOUR, Sawgrass, Ponte Vedra, FL 32082, Other 1982 Senior Tournaments March 11-14 The Vintage Classic, Indian Wells, CA April 22-25 Legends of Golf, Austin, TX August 2 Swing at Cancer Pro-Am, Sacramento, CA September 23-26 World Seniors Invitational, Charlotte, NC November 11-14 National Senior Pro-Am, Scottsdale, AZ Frequently Used Telephone Numbers Tournament Players Association 904-285-3700 Tournament Players Club....... 904-285-3301 Tournament Players Championship . 904-399-5950 PGA of America .....

  • 2012Traditions of Golf Challenge Study Guide
    2012Traditions of Golf Challenge Study Guide HISTORY SECTION PRE - 20th Century “When did the game of golf start?” Golf originated in the 15th century in Scotland. Mary, Queen of Scots introduced the word “caddie” to the game. While playing golf, she was accompanied by a club-carrying young boy whom she called the “cadet”, or “caddie.” Players would hit a pebble around a natural course of sand dunes, rabbit runs and tracks using a stick or primitive club. “How were golf balls developed?” The first real golf ball was known as the “feathery”. The feathery was a leather sack filled by hand with boiled goose feathers, and stitched up and painted. The feathery golf ball period may have started as early as the 1400’s and ended in the early 1850’s. The arrival of the gutta percha ball in 1848 or “guttie”, as it was called, revolutionized the game and allowed golf’s spread to the masses. The guttie was made from rubber, which could be heated, and formulated into a ball. The next revolution in ball design came around 1905 with the patented "Haskell" ball, which is a composite of a solid core wound with thin strips of rubber. Some modern balls (the expensive ones) are made this way today. This ball performed much better than the gutty and could be made cheaply compared to earlier balls. In 1972 the first two-piece ball was introduced by Spalding. These are more popular with amateurs, as they are more durable and considered to be longer and straighter. Many professionals are still devoted to the softer covered balls, since they prefer the added spin for control as opposed to distance.
