article describing PV days before the Philly Amateur Championship

I found this article to be a nice read, and I suspect others will as well.  This is from the June 4, 1922 edition of the Philadelphia Public Ledger.  In particular I like the table showing distances and carries, which has some incredible detail!

Egads...

"…Pine Valley was to be the scene of the 1922 titular struggle of the simon-pure linksmen of this district, but with the affair so near at hand, knights of the knickerbocker hereabouts are registering all the well-known signs of deep, ardent feeling."

And to think some people say today's sportswriters aren't good journalists.

LOL

Sorry for the threadjack, but I couldn't pass up the aside.
