Edward Blackwell
Edward Baird Hay Blackwell (21 July 1866 – 22 June 1945)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=67570659 )〕 was a Scottish amateur golfer who played in the late 19th and early 20th century. He was a member of the R&A and finished in second place in the 1904 Amateur Championship contested at Royal St George's Golf Club in Sandwich, England. Although playing fine golf throughout, he eventually lost the final match to Walter Travis by the score of 4 and 3.〔 He was known as a long hitter of the ball, often outdriving opponents by 50 yards or more. In 1898, Blackwell was described as probably the most consistently long driver the world had ever seen. As a result, his name became a household word among golfers.〔
His brothers—Sir Ernley Blackwell and Walter Blackwell—were also useful golfers, playing on several occasions in the Amateur Championship.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.golfcollectors.co.uk/amateur-championship-records-by-clubs-and-entrants )〕
==Early life==
Born in 1866—the son of Surgeon-Major James Hay Blackwell, H.E.I.C.S.,〔The Times, London, 23 September 1941 (Deaths)〕 and his wife, Eliza Jane Robertson〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=67570593 )〕—he began to play as soon as he could walk and the advantage of this early commencement was seen in his excellent playing style: a full, free swing, characterized by commanding power. His early boyhood was spent in St Andrews where he attended Dr. Browning's School. Before he left at age 13, he had won a prize with the score of 104. As a young man Blackwell had grown to a height of 6 feet, weighed , and had powerful forearms and wrists.〔 Being a tall man, he preferred heavy clubs with long hickory shafts. His cleek was once described as "a weaver's beam with an old boot at the end of it."〔
