With Tilly having been recently inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame, I thought this thread was worth revisiting.  His writings in the Public Ledger and Philadelphia Record are worth the read, IMHO.

And I just recently ran into another series of articles he wrote in late 1915/6 for the Washington Herald.  I have compiled them here:

While writing as the golf editor in 1911 for the Public Ledger, Tillinghast almost certainly also penned these "Golf Comments". The style is too similar to not be his writing:

This thread contains links to a voluminous amount of writings by Tillinghast when golf was really exploding in the USA.  Perhaps Ran can consider adding this thread to the literature section of the Best of Golf.

Excellent, Joe. Your work (current on ongoing, creating such collections) is stellar. And, as I meant to post on your othe thread about early reviews of courses like Shinnecock, it is invaluable to be reminded of what folks back then actually said (and might have actually meant). What we then do with that -- whatever kind of narrating or textual analysis -- is another matter.

Thanks again

With this week being the PGA at Baltusrol, Tillinghast is getting plenty of attention.  For instance, the piece on The Golf Channel that ran during "Live From the PGA" yesterday:

Some may not know how much Tilly wrote in Philadelphia area papers.  Hence, I've bumped this thread.
