John de Forest

[edit]

The name of the 1931 British Championship winner (whose father has wikipedia article in own right) has been delinked from article on the US writer John de Forest who died in 1906, by lengthening it to John Gerard de Forest. He was also known as Count John Gerard de Bendern, and was a former son-in-law of the 12th Marquess of Queensberry.Cloptonson (talk) 15:04, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ganton?

[edit]

To quote the lede " It has always been held under traditional links golf conditions, near the coasts of the British Isles.". Does Ganton Golf Club, host of three Amateur Championships fit this description? A rough measurement on the map puts it about 5..6 miles inland as the gull flies and the club website describes the course as being "a blend of links and heathland".
