1961 Bernard Darwin Funeral Program
No less an authority then fellow Hall of Fame golf writer Herbert Warren Wind had this to say about Darwin: "To start at the beginning, Bernard Darwin is the greatest writer on golf the world has ever known. He is much more than that. He may be the greatest of all sportswriters." When he wasn't writing he could usually be found on a golf course displaying that he was a skilled player of the game as well as a chronicler of the sport. He competed in the 1922 first Walker Cup winning his singles match 3 and 1 over U.S. captain W.C. Fownes, Jr. He also was a semifinalist in the 1909 and 1921 British Amateur. Darwin was recognized also as the captain of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews in 1934. Offered here from the Hall of Fame golf writer Darwin's funeral is this program in 1961 at St Paul's Church in Covent Garden.
