Brian Bamford (1935-2021) *85

Brian Bamford was an English professional golfer. He won the Schweppes PGA Close Championship in 1961. Bamford began his professional career as an assistant at Burhhill Golf Club before moving to Wentworth. While an assistant at Wentworth, Bamford won the Schweppes PGA Close Championship in April 1961, by 3 strokes from Peter Alliss and Christy O'Connor Snr, and took the first prize of £1,000. Because of the possibility of flooding at the Royal Mid-Surrey Golf Club, a composite course was used for the championship, including seven consecutive holes of the Ladies' course, measuring just 5,755 yards. Each competitor played one of their opening two rounds at Richmond Golf Club. His winning score of 266 remains the lowest in the Championship's history. As a result of his win he was selected for the English Canada Cup team, with Peter Alliss. The Canada Cup was played in Puerto Rico in early June with England finished in 15th place, Bamford scoring 311 for the four rounds. The week after the Canada Cup he was third in the Daks Tournament at Wentworth, two strokes behind Bernard Hunt.
