And who were the "Macdonald and James Bray" guys who gave it their blessing?


Never heard of 'em.   ;)

I've updated the Bausch Archives with something cool:  the 1966 US Amateur at Merion.  In this year it was stroke play and Canadian Gary Cowan edged Deane Beman in an 18-hole playoff.

Go here for all the articles from the Philadelphia Inquirer:

Five years after winning the US Amateur at Merion in 1966, Gary Cowan wins again in 1971 at Wilmington CC.  This event was also stroke play and he holed out for 2 on the 18th hole with a 9 iron (now the current 9th hole, I think) in the final round and won by 3 strokes. 

Coverage of the tournament by the News Journal is here:

Joe,


Thanks for posting the AZ articles. Before I moved here full time in 2012, I was a frequent winter visitor starting in 1985 for vacations and business. These articles remind me of some experiences from those times. I remember playing Troon North when the pro shop was a trailer. I remember Desert Mountain Renegrade when it was the only course there. I remember the early days of TPC Scottsdale and my first experience at Desert Forest. . I learned about winter overseeding. After seeing the golf rates at Encanto, I should have played there more. In my golf library I have Bill Huffman's book- Arizona's Greatest Courses, Bradley Klein's History of Desert Forest and Joan Fedula's Golf in Scottsdale.   You need to visit and give your own reviews with pictures!

Thanks for posting Joe. The stories of Snead's meltdown on the 72nd hole in the 1939 US Open at Philadelphia CC were fascinating. First, I never realized that Sam was only 27 years old at the time. But what was more interesting is the similarity between Sam's triple bogey on the 72nd hole at Philadelphia  CC and Mickleson's double bogey on 72nd hole at Winged Foot, both costing each the elusive Open title. Both were directly caused not by their poor tee shots, but by mental lapses in their second shot. Snead stated after  the round that he knew never to attempt a fairway wood from the difficult rough, that he would always use an iron to get ball back in play. Instead, on that day, a the most crucial time, he tried an heroic wood from the rough, and the rest is history. Similarly, it was not Phil's drive which cost him the title, but his attempt at an heroic second shot, instead of safely getting ball back in play, which cost him, if not the championship, at least a tie and play-off.


Interesting that Snead was described as a "swashbuckler," much like Mickleson is today. The press was much kinder to Snead's self-destruction that it was to Mickleson years later.


Great articles.
