Herbert Charles Jolly (15 February 1895 – 1983) was a professional golfer from Guernsey. He is best known for being a member of the first British Ryder Cup team in 1927. He also played for Britain in the International Match against America at Wentworth in 1926. He was born near L'Ancresse, Vale, Guernsey and began his career as an assistant professional at the Royal Guernsey Golf Club which was founded in 1890. He fought in the First World War and was then club professional at Foxgrove Golf Club (1919–33), Hendon, Benton Park and then at Branshaw Golf Club in West Yorkshire.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Clubmakers: H C Jolly )〕 In the 1923 Yorkshire Evening News Tournament, Jolly only qualified for last-32 knock-out stage by winning a five-man, 18-hole playoff for the final place. After winning his first round match comfortably, he only beat Abe Mitchell at the seventh extra hole after Mitchell had missed from 2 feet at the third extra hole. Jolly holed a 9 footer at the 7th, despite being "partially stymied". In the third round, he beat Gus Faulkner at the second extra hole before a 2 and 1 semi-final win. In the final against Walter Hagen, the match went to the 36th hole, Jolly winning by 2 holes. Jolly had been 4 up after 7 holes of the afternoon round but Hagen levelled the match at the 13th. Jolly won the 17th after Hagen was bunkered and then won the last after Hagen three putted. Jolly lost three successive finals in 1927, 1928 and 1929 before winning his second Yorkshire Evening News Tournament in 1930, beating Owen Sanderson 3 and 1 in the final. The match was played on the same day as the 1930 Amateur Championship final in which Bobby Jones beat Roger Wethered. Jolly was selected for the British 1931 Ryder Cup team but later withdrew because of a loss of form. His three brothers, Thomas Blackmore Jolly (born 16 May 1892), William Henry Jolly (born 24 January 1897) and John Henry Jolly (born 23 August 1898), were also professional golfers. ==Tournament wins== * 1923 Yorkshire Evening News Tournament * 1930 Yorkshire Evening News Tournament * 1931 Roehampton Invitation 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Herbert Jolly」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
