Who was the individual who was behind the pseudonym, St. George? "
"As early as August 1882...'St George' was writing...the time had come for an international match between the best golfers from England and Scotland..." (all quotes are from Stephen Proctor in The Long Afternoon).
"Horace Hutchinson remembers travelling to Hoylake in the 1870s and the merry, well lubricated evenings...at the Bar Parlour.
'Bar Parlour sounds a little ominous,' Hutchinson mused...'but I never saw a man who could not talk straight or walk straight out of it.'
Stephen Proctor says, "It was, perhaps, in the afterglow of just such an evening that gentleman golfers like St George first set their sights on taking the fight to the Scots."
Could Horace Hutchinson be St George?
Or could it be that someone from the golfing community at Royal St. George is the author? If so, who might it be?
I think it's too early to be Bernard Darwin. Maybe Darwin's mentor?
