George Sargent professional at the
Chevy Chase Club and one Of the best
authorities on the royal and ancient
game in this country. was born at
Brockham, Surrey, England. August 2,
1882. In 1886 his parents moved to EPSON,
where golf just started and Mr.. Sargent
began to play the game when only six
years of age.
Golf clubs were scarce in those days, "
he said, "and often the only clubs avail
able were crooked sticks cut out Of a
hedge and usually a pebble for ball. !"
Mr.. Sargent acted as caddie until he
was eleven years old. when he commenced
to learn the art Of making clubs under
Thomas NJ. Watt, who has been pro-
fessional at EPSON for the past twenty
years He then went to Canton and
worked for Harry Vardon for nearly a
year.
At the age of eighteen Mr.. Sargent
started out as a full-fiedged professional
and took the position as private. pro-
fessIonal with Sir, Edgar Vincent at
Esher, Surrey While at Esher Mr.. sar-
gent made his first appearance in an
The Washington herald., 1911-07-16

open. championship. He was only nine-
teen years old at that time and created
sensation by turning in the fifth best
score in the first round.
After staying at Esher one year and
half, Mr.. Sargent went to the Dewsbury
Golf Club In Yorkshire, where he re-
manned four years. He made a splendid
showing in open tournaments at Dews-
bury. winning two handsome prizes while
competing against all the crack players
there.
From Dewsbury he went to Ottawa,
Canada, where he stayed three years.
The Chevy Chase professional then came
to the United States and accepted a
position at the Hyde Manor Club. a sum-
mer resort in the Green Mountains.
While at this club, in 1909, Mr.. Sargent
was successful in carrying of the United
States open championship with the low
est score ever known for a national
championship.

the Chevy Chase Club and quickly recog-
nized the possibilities OF the new course,
and since then has made II one OF the
leading courses in the country.
