NEWSPAPER REPORTS FROM THE FIFTIES

Ken Geddes (brother-in-law of former Chester-le-Street pro Maurice
Strong, himself a prominent Alliance player) was one of the best
golfers in the North East in the fifties and Bert’s biggest rival.
He was a fine match player who made the headlines when he defeated
Henry Cotton and Dai Rees (twice) in major competition. He was pro
at the Davyhulme Park club in Manchester when his premature death
occurred at the age of forty-three.
