1946 Amateur Golf Championship Official Program Birkdale Golf Club - Rare
Here we have a scarce and hard to find program
from the 1946 British Amateur at Birkdale.
Contents within include 1) a beautiful written essay
by Bernard Darwin on the Amateur Championship;
2) a hole-by-hole description of how to play
Birkdale including a diagram of the course layout;
3) photos of the course at the time to include
greens 2, 3, 17, and 18; 4) an article of the early
days of Birkdale and 5) detail results of the first
rounds.
In the tournament Jimmy Bruen Jr. of Cork
defeated Robert Sweeney Jr. of the R&A.
Overall an historically significant program because
it was the first amateur championship held after a
seven year hiatus due to WWII. This program
rarely comes up for auction.
