The icon, who became one of the sport’s most high-profile administrators, passed away yesterday in St.Andrews, Scotland. The much-loved Bonallack won a host of accolades throughout his golfing career including the British Amateur Championship five times between 1951 and 1970. His CV includes another five English Amateur Championship titles plus he was also a four-time English stroke-play champion.He was twice the leading amateur at the British Open in 1968 and 1971 and he also represented GB&I in six World Amateur Team Golf Championships, the last three outings as captain, and he tied for the Individual title with American Vinny Giles in 1968.Bonallack, who was a member of the Walker Cup team in nine consecutive years from 1957, captained the team to success in the event at St. Andrews in 1971. That was the first time that GB&I had lifted the trophy since 1938 and led to him declaring afterwards: “It does not get, cannot get, any better than that.”IMPORTANT!
