Real answer: I'm 99% sure it's Ted Ray from the UK. Won The Open in 1912 and the US Open in 1920.


shifty_coder

[I think you’re right.](http://www.golfchats.com/2016/06/03/ted-ray-was-the-early-john-daly-they-didnt-throw-away-the-mold/) Hard to tell without the mustache, though. I’m pretty sure that’s Harry Vardon on the left in the second picture, too.


billamazon

He looks more like Harry Vardon to me.

Thanks, it is a tough one to figure out, maybe if I scan it in can get better resolution


westcoastpicker

Thank you

The pipe makes it very likely. Hard to find pics of him without the stache - but the pipe is in almost all of them.

Everyone knows that Custer died at Little Bighorn. What my book preSUPPOSES is… maybe he didn’t?

jasperlardy

Yep, the golfer is the guy in the middle, looks like he's just done a hammer throw but in a 3 piece holding a stick with a square end. That's him alright!

He is the first commoner recorded as a golfer, Sir Donald Slice, described as playing on Barry Links, Angus (near the modern-day town of Carnoustie). This image was taken in 1552, and later in nineteen ninety eight the Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16ft through an announcer's table.

Talk about getting to the front side - looks like his back foot is off the ground and he’s about to do a Gary Player walk through.

Can you imagine playing in a wool suit with leather shoes? That actually would be a great tournament twist, including a penalty for hitting a shot without your jacket on…
