Ben Sayers
Bernard "Ben" Sayers (23 June 1856 – 9 March 1924) was one of the most successful early professional golfers. He became a distinguished golf teacher, golf course designer and manufacturer of golf clubs and equipment. Sayers had a reputation for making good quality gutta-percha golf balls.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.northberwick.org.uk/sayers.html )〕
== Playing career ==
Sayers was born in Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland. After moving to Haddington with his family at the age of 12, Sayers began to play golf after being given a club by his uncle. He was short at but strong, and on the verge of becoming a professional acrobat when he began to take golf seriously. He moved to North Berwick and after enjoying success in competitions at Dunbar, Hoylake and other courses he took up ballmaking, and also began to enter The Open Championship. He tied for second in the 1888 Open Championship and was third in 1889. Although he won 24 top-level tournaments he never lifted the "Old Claret Jug".〔
In January 1911, he took up the post of head professional at The Golf Club of Monte Carlo. While there, he was known for taking wagers on the course, presumably betting on himself against all takers of his challenges.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thegolfballfactory.com/Hall-of-Champions/1911-Golfing-events-leading-up-to-the-1913-U.S.-Open.htm )〕
