Bet You Didn't Know Sportsmanship Story From 1925 Open
A true tale from the 1925 National Open at Worcester describes Bobby Jones insisting on a one stroke penalty after a slight ball movement unseen by others. He stated that was the only way to play the game, illustrating sportsmanship. The piece also notes the 1893 Bowen Burke boxing marathon of 110 rounds ending in a draw. It ends with a local ad offering big savings on GMC vehicles.
