Beschreibung
Illustrated. 76 pages. The 1956 PGA Championship was the 38th PGA Championship, held at Blue Hill Country Club in Canton, Massachusetts, a suburb southwest of Boston. Jack Burke Jr. won his second major championship of 1956, a 3 & 2 victory over Ted Kroll. Burke had won the Masters in April. It was the second to last PGA Championship as a match play competition; stroke play was introduced two years later in 1958. Defending champion Doug Ford was stopped in the third round by 1953 champion Walter Burkemo, 5 & 3. Blue Hill was not highly regarded as a championship venue and calls increased for a change in format to stroke play. Also, a five-year membership in the PGA of America was necessary to compete in the PGA Championship at the time; this excluded young professionals Arnold Palmer, Dow Finsterwald, Gene Littler, and Mike Souchak. In the skills competitions held on Thursday, Joe Kraak won the long driving contest at 300 yards. Cover drawing of Ed "Porky" Oliver on front cover drawn by Vic Johnson. This program was probably carried on course during some/all of the tournament. Light creases around the front cover edge, slight rubbing. Some page corners turned. Program covers protected in mylar. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 204785
