Dear Greg Koch
It was in the process of trying to find any information which might be available on the web regarding the golf tournament played in 1936 on the Baden Baden Golf Course, Germany as part of the Olympic Games of that year that I stumbled on your web site. I hope therefore you will excuse me if I am troubling you unneccessarily. My quest for information stems from the fact that it was my father-in-law, Tom Thirsk, who won the "Prize of all Nations" for that event and as one of the beneficiaries of his Will I am the possessor of the two silver trophies presented to him and am trying to write up a "history" of the occasion. Hitler was much involved, it being expected after the second of the four rounds that a German would win (there were entrants from many countries - two men only from each country). Should by any chance you might be able to point me in some direction where I might find more out about the occasion I would be most grateful to you. Coincidentally, I resided in Cape Town from 1980 to 1992 and "stayed", as they say, at Mutual Place the 23 floor high building opposite the swimming pool in Sea Point. I hope you have had a good Christmas and envy you your weather. It is and has been foul here in Europe. Regards
Don Bissland
