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 think I had that model. Made the mistake of sanding it back. I think it looked good for a few hours.
Yes.
I was just wondering if it was a late withdrawal or something uncontroversial like that or instead some sort of special exemption.
With the internet’s love for nicknames and acronyms I hope nobody has come all this way and then realised afterwards that there are two KI’s in Australia with epic new golf courses. Though King Island has now passed ten years.
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.

There was a film about Bobby Jones’ career in the 1940s called Old Man Par. You had to go the cinema to see it in the same way they did for Ben Hogan and Follow the Sun.
Bring back all the lost reels of golf film. They’re gathering dust and rust in an Indiana Jones style tomb somewhere.
