The choice is not that easy especially with youth having broken through in such numbers to inject a fresh- spirit on the fairways Oscars definitely to 19-year-old Peter Townsend and Clive Clark (20) who helped the amateur game reach a gloriously new high peak this summer and gave so much towards earning the Walker Cup tie at Baltimore CREDIT TO CARR And an Oscar to Joe Carr who deserves more for having done what no other Walker Cup captain has managed in denying the Americans a win on their own ground To Jacklin and to Horton go Oscars to Peter Alliss for his Ryder Cup performance and to team captain Harry Weetman But who then is the Goiter of the Year?
