@GolfLibrary

I collect golf books, magazines, films, records… mainly 1920s-1990s. Especially the lost films that haven’t made it to the modern era. Insta:thegolflibrarian

I love that in the draft for Bobby Jones’ wonderful article in The American Golfer about his match with Joyce at St Andrews he wrote “made me feel such an utter jackass” crossed it out and wrote “made me feel so utterly outclassed”. So eager to be emphatic about her brilliance.

They used to be the leader in packaging. I was always impressed by the combination of plastic air pockets and scrunched up paper that filled the empty space. Whereas this box arrived this week from Ryan Publishing in Melbourne full of foam, bubble wrap, scrunched up paper etc.

@amazon has a new environmental policy of using less packaging. This book was $268 & sent across the world from United States to Australia in an oversized box with zero protection. The pages have detached from the spine. Amazon refuse to help so I will take it to the @acccgovau .

Premiership player with the mighty Devonport Blues. The same club Matthew Richardson came from.

I’ve never heard of him either. I was curious to see if anyone had corrected him.

Happy 100th birthday to Bob Toski. Bob topped the 1954 PGA Tour Money List with 4 wins. George May’s World Championship of Golf at Tam O’Shanter had $50,000 winner’s prize money. Ed Furgol 1954 US Open was $6,000. He moved into teaching a few years later having become a father.

It was nice to see Bob Toski interviewed this week on @ChampionsTour Learning Center. He will turn 99 years old later in the year. With the @RBCCanadianOpen on currently here is “The Mouse” at the 1959 Canadian Open.

Reminded me of Daly. I remembered back in his prime he had an enormous amount of papers under his grips and more under the right hand than left to reduce the taper. I found this article though more recent. golfwrx.com/677046/tour-repo…
