South Hamilton, 1901

The players' tempers flared in the first round -- played Thursday morning in a swirling wind -- as even well-struck balls found trouble. Anderson, misreading three short putts, was quietly seething by the end of his round, an 84. As he and the other professionals gathered for lunch outside the stately clubhouse, a Myopia member informed them that they must eat in the kitchen. Anderson, muttering in his North Berwick burr, began swinging his mashie faster and faster near the member until he sent a sizable patch of turf flying. The member fled into the clubhouse, then returned to say that a lunch tent would be raised for the players.
