Sorry for the delay getting back to this thread.
Ian:
Trying to link an Alison trip together?
No, it would actually be a trip by Mackenzie in 1928!
The reason I mention road trip is that the beginning of the trip was some short runs from:
Quebec to Montreal
Montreal to Ottawa
Ottawa to Toronto(a longer drive)
Toronto to Hamilton
Hamilton to Rye, NY(most likely by train as it was a larger group).
So I initially guessed that they may have gone by car for most of the trip and may have taken a train based off of what Jason M. posted on the Erie Railroad System map.
Here is a link to my Google map that shows the locations that I have already with the time frame and it shows the sheer madness of it all if it played out the way it appears to.
1928MapWhat I am trying to figure out is how and when did Mackenzie get up to St. Charles and Jasper?
In an article they list the towns theBritish Senior Golfers plan to visit in this order:
Quebec-Aug 26th 1928
Montreal- Aug 28th
Ottawa-?
Toronto-?
Hamilton-?
NYC area. Sept 11-14
Basing my info from the photo of Mackenzie at St. Charles in 1928 with the British Senior Golfers they made it all the way to Winnipeg. Then there is a mention in the March 1931 American Golfer "In September 1928, over the Jasper Park, Alberta, golf course I played a round with Dr. Alister Mackenzie....."
It is amazing to think that they could have covered so much ground in such little time, and still manage to play golf. But from the little bit of info I have been able to work with, it may be the case. I should be getting more info from Tyler Kearns that will hopefully tighten this up and make more sense of it all.
They may have also continued westward after the tournament in NY with the Canadian team as the article does not mention the two other courses.
