They refused to elaborate on the report published in the daily express that Solomons had been tee topics death recently of Cyril Walker who won the a states open championship 24 years ago seems to have touched a. Soft spot with local golfers to a marked degree judging irom comments we have heard around local courses. His Victory at the time was quite unexpected and he threw All his Basket of eggs into the 72 Hole championship. We remember the last Day quite Well. It was Leo Deigel s encouragement which bolstered his game As Walker s strength was fast giving Way under the terrific Strain of the last is holes but he managed to survive and win. The Crown and the glory did him Little Good and he made nothing out of his fabulous Opportunity. We have heard of him Over the Here and there but it a always the same Story of ill Luc and a craving for John Barley Corn. He was unable to master the Jatter and Ole John finally to the last round. Tis sad and tragic and a great moral lesson ther is in Cyril Walker s life for Thos who have eyes to see and ear to hear.

And golfer ends so far Down the rung of life s ladder. Bob Jones 22-year-old re Cord of 66 for the Sunningdale course was broken by Dick Chapman this Spring in the Gold vase Competition. It was not the breaking of the record that is so significant but the fact that Bobby s Mark stood up for such a Long time. You May recall Jones had 66 and 68 in the qualifying rounds at in 1926 and it was the first real american Golf seen by the britishers up to that tune and they were bewildered. These two rounds were Given More world wide publicity than any other two rounds in the history of Golf. He hit a shot and never missed a putt he should not have holed. That was 22 years ago.
