Mr. BERNARD DARWIN: An Eye-Witness Account of the Final of the Amateur Golf Championship . S.B. from Glasgow

on 5XX Daventry

View in Radio Times

A LTHOUGH it does not carry so proud a title as the Open Championship, whose winner can not unfairly claim to be the best golfer in the world, the Amateur Championship is, if anything, a more exciting event. Match play makes for sporting interest, and in the final that Mr. Bernard Darwin will describe today interest is centred on two protagonists instead of on some thirty-six. To golfers everywhere, this account of the final match, given by the most famous of golf correspondents, and relayed from a house (lent by a listener) actually on the course, within an hour or two, at the most, of the conclusion of play, will certainly be one of the most interesting events of the broadcast week.
