José Jurado
José Jurado (1899–1971) was a professional golfer in the sport’s Golden Age. Born in Buenos Aires, he was the first Argentine to travel to major international championships and is thus often credited as the “Father of Argentine Professional Golf” or the “Godfather of Argentinean Golf.”〔Barkow, Al "Hail Hispana" ''PGA Professionals Guide to Travel''.

Retrieved October 29, 2008 from http://www.pgaprofessionalsguide.travel/page/725-31174.htm?travel_article_id=6465§ion=followingthetour〕 He is perhaps best known for his losing stroke to Tommy Armour at the 1931 Open Championship at Carnoustie.〔"British Open" ''Time Magazine''.

Jurado began his career as a caddie at The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews.〔Retrieved on October 29, 2008 from http://www.vinasdelgolf.com/estate/history〕 At the age of 21, he won his first of seven championships at the Argentine Open, and was also a seven-time winner of the Argentine PGA Championship. In 1932, Jurado traveled to the US, justifying these journeys as the only way to progress his skill as a professional golfer.〔Jurado Golf. Retrieved on October 29, 2008 from http://www.juradogolf.com/Institucional/historia.htm.〕 After studying the operations of the American PGA, he undertook the organization of the AAPG (Asociación Argentina de Profesionales de Golf). Jurado also recruited international golf figures to teach Argentine enthusiasts the emerging and popular American-style swing. In 1931 he won an exhibition match against Aubrey Boomer in France. Jurado finished in the top ten in four majors: T8 at the British Open in 1926, T6 in the British Open in 1928, 2nd in the British Open in 1931 and T6 in the U.S. Open in 1932.
