Penal Bunkering Obsolete
« on: July 07, 2014, 03:45:20 PM »
That is the title of this 1931 NY Sun article by George Trevor (same writer of an article as the basis for my recent thread "Who said the following?").

I enjoyed it and think many of you will as well.

Thanks Joe,

Unfortunately, one often sees players that have "checked their brain in at the locker room."

Great article Joe. Thanks. Hard to argue with the piece.

Trevor was really good. Was he a golf writer or did he cover other sports too? I remember several articles he wrote for the US Golf Illustrated in the 1920's.

Reading the article I am reminded that we have nothing today that approaches the depth and breadth of the quality of writing on gca pre-WWII.

It's a bit of a puzzle why that is the case.

This is different: seems like the Tamarack members took an immediate dislike to one bunker that Banks built. Hackensack was "modernized" in 1961, where William Gordon did a real hatchet job.
