In the Yorkshire Evening News £750 tournament at the Leeds Golf
Club, Cobble Hall my 66 in the stroke-play section was described by
Golf Illustrated as the “perfect round”. I went out in 34, including
a run of three consecutive threes and, despite taking four at the
tree-lined 15th - ‘Tribulation Hill’, one of the most difficult
par-3s in golf, I came back in 32 to set a new course record.
In the subsequent match play I lost to Ryder Cup player Bill Cox in
the first round. The final was between Alf Perry and Vernon
Greenhalgh of the Manchester club - Prestwich and Alf’s fine form
continued with an 8&6 victory, to make it three wins in what was
probably his best year - apart from 1935 of course.

in 1902, won by Harry Vardon]
