Horatio Gordon "Horace" Hutchinson (16 May 1859 – 27 July 1932)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://archive.spectator.co.uk/article/20th-august-1932/14/mr-horace-hutchinson )〕 was an English amateur golfer who played in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Hutchinson won the 1886 Amateur Championship and the 1887 Amateur Championship. He had three top-10 finishes in the Open Championship, his best result being sixth in the 1890 Open Championship. He was also a prolific writer of books on the subject of golf and other sporting themes.〔 Hutchinson was the first English captain of the R&A links at St Andrews Golf Club, Scotland.〔 He suffered from grave illness in the latter portion of his life and committed suicide in Chelsea, London, England, on 27 July 1932.〔 ==Early life== Hutchinson, born 16 May 1859 in London, England, was the third son of General William Nelson Hutchinson (1803–1895).〔 He began his golfing career at an early age playing at the Royal North Devon golf club—also known as Westward Ho!—a course founded in 1864 and designed by Old Tom Morris.〔(Old Tom Morris ) ''Golf Course Architecture'', 1 July 2006, accessed 30 January 2012.〕 By the age of sixteen he won the club medal championship. He attended Corpus Christi College for a time where he was a cricket player〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/352/352956/352956.html )〕—then Oxford University from 1878–81—and made an immediate impression by playing number one on the Oxford golf team and led them to victory over arch rival Cambridge in the University Golf Match. During his Oxford years he would spend vacations at home playing Royal North Devon accompanied by a young orphaned caddie who was employed by the Hutchinson family as a houseboy. The young lad went by the name of John Henry Taylor. Taylor's future exploits in golf—which included winning five Open Championships—would become legendary. Hutchinson was a keen billiards player and enjoyed rowing, shooting and angling. He graduated Oxford BA with third-class honors in ''literae humaniores'' (1881) and entered the Inner Temple with a view to reading for the bar, but his health, always frail, temporarily broke down.〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=odnb2.ifactory.com )〕 Although he lived to be 73 years old, Hutchinson suffered with poor health most of his life, and was for the last eighteen years of life incapacitated by grave illness.〔 In 1890 he considered becoming a sculptor and studied briefly under G. F. Watts.〔 In 1893 he married Dorothy Margaret Chapman, daughter of Major Frederick Barclay Chapman of the 14th Hussars.〔〔 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「Horace Hutchinson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
