George Cumming (golfer)
George Cumming (20 May 1879 – 26 March 1950) was a Scottish-Canadian professional golfer and club maker. Cumming was often referred to as the “Dean of Canadian Professional Golfers” and his teachings as proprietor of the Toronto Golf Club launched the career of many of Canada’s best known professional golfers. He won the Canadian Open in 1905 and three of his assistants won the championship in the following years: Charles Murray, Albert Murray and Karl Keffer,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rcga.org/hall_of_famer.aspx?id=17&x= )〕 each winning the championship twice.
Cumming finished in ninth place in the 1905 U.S. Open. He carded rounds of 85-82-75-81=323 and won $30. He was inducted into the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame and Museum in 1971.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rcga.org/hall_of_famers.aspx?Page=2&x=P1c4tTuOqenBqMIDKw0FSsAfqUB8m%2b2JbpsL8%2bFeHIGIqSx%2bFYSnOhNzctOvbMx956vLssOzddP0GFPq7k6SnTIOzuePbXJPPLyV9zXVKUV22mevOuVM%2bBjXWu7NU9X1%2fCvMhzUtdLDUcBqaVvkBiUvYfJLI60LJK9PnLu3CG3dkZKRDajCwJrqHvO4C8NEgwv2XhdJk6QQ%3d )〕
==Early life and career==
Cumming was born in Bridge of Weir, Scotland, on 20 May 1879.〔 Cumming was hired at age 21 as professional at the Toronto Golf Club and remained there for 50 years. He was a championship player and a superb teacher of golf mechanics. At age 10 he worked as a caddie at Ranfurly Castle Golf Club where he often caddied for Willie Campbell, one of the best players in Scotland. He was apprenticed at age 14 to the Forgan Golf Co. in Glasgow as a club maker.〔 At 16 he moved to Dumfies and Galloway and eventually became head professional. In 1900 he moved to Toronto〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.antiquegolfscotland.com/antiquegolf/maker.php3?makerid=814 )〕 and made the acquaintance of Stewart Gordon, the Honorary Secretary of Toronto Golf Club.
As a player, Cumming won the Canadian Open in 1905 (score 148) and was second four times. He was ninth at the U.S. Open at Myopia Hunt Club in 1905 and the next week won a 36-hole event at The Country Club in Brookline, near Boston. He had great success in four-ball matches with George Lyon. In 1913 he partnered with Percy Barrett in the famous match versus Harry Vardon and Ted Ray. He was described as a shorter hitter with a pleasant looking swing. He had strong hands and was a solid performer in all aspects of the game.〔
