The Spirit Of The Game

Unlike many sports, golf is played, for the most part, without the supervision of a referee or umpire. The game relies on the integrity of the individual to show consideration for other players and to abide by the Rules. All players should conduct themselves in a disciplined manner, demonstrating courtesy and sportsmanship at all times, irrespective of how competitive they may be.

This is the spirit of the game of golf.

Those of you fortunate enough to play in the Kiely Cup may appreciate the fact that not only have most of the greatest players competed on this course, many of them have won.  Within three years of its inception, Gene Sarazen, a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame and one of five people to win all four of the Major PGA Tour Championships (the Masters, the U.S. Open, the British Open, and the PGA Championship) came to play an exhibition at Canterbury.  Three years later, Canterbury’s members cobbled together $2,000 to underwrite the costs for the British Ryder Cup Team, including U.S. Open champion Ted Ray and Harry Vardon, of the 1913 U.S. Open playoff, who lost to American amateur Francis Ouimet at the Country Club in Brookline—an event that put golf on the United States’ map.  Since then, Canterbury has hosted fourteen prominent events, including thirteen widely regarded as “major events”—including two U.S. Opens, two U.S. Amateurs, the U.S. Senior Open, the PGA Championship, the Senior PGA Championship, and four Senior Player’s Championships. Canterbury is one of the only courses in America to have hosted all of these events.  Repeatedly, Canterbury’s winners have been among the most renowned golfers of their times.  Nine Canterbury Champions (Hagen, Guldahl, Lawson Little, Lloyd Mangrum, Bill Campbell, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer twice, and Chi Chi Rodriguez), are enshrined in the World Golf Hall of Fame, along with six of Canterbury’s Runners-Up (Horton Smith, Gene Sarazen, Byron Nelson, Gene Littler, Peter Thomson and Hale Irwin.”
