Sir,
I have just read your article on the great John Ball. My interest in him was rekindkled by the fact that when he retired to Wales he settled near Holywell in Flintshire and was reputed to play the Holywell course which is located in nearby Brynford. I am a member of said golf club and as we are celebrating our centenary year (established in 1906) I have been researching the records of the ladies section for information.I previously stated that John was 'reputed' to play at Holywell because most old records have been lost. However, I have just discovered a reference to him in the ladies section records of their meetings in 1925. Apparantly they sent a signed score card, belonging to John, in order to get a reduction in the scratch score for some new holes which had been opened on the course. It would be of great interest to Holywell Golf Club if any other references to him in connection with us were to be found.
It has been said that there was an entry in an old visitors book that John had signed in a fellow Open winner by the name of Harry Vardon, but this is a record which has been lost!
