Title: The [British] Amateur [Golf] Championship at St. Andrews, Official Programme for Saturday, 30th May, 1936. Final day issue Author: ** Place: St. Andrews, Scotland Publisher: Royal & Ancient Golf Club Date: 1936 Description: 48 pp. Illustrated from photographs, maps, drawings, ads. 9½x6, original printed blue wrappers, stamped in black. Played at historic St. Andrews Links ("The Home of Golf"), won by Hector Thomson of Scotland, 2 up, over the Australian Jim Ferrier. Before WW II, it was regarded as one of golf's major championships, but this is no longer the case. Surprisingly, considering the prestige the event still carries, only one Amateur Championship winner in the post-WW II era has gone on to win a major, José María Olazábal. Includes article “The Old Course” by Bernard Darwin. Lot Amendments Condition: Slight marginal fading, light soiling, short creases to edges, a few tiny stains on rear cover; hinges stiff (possibly re-glued); still very good and scarce. Item number: 190005
