Albert Victor George 'Bert' Seymour (23 February 1887 –1970)[1] was an English professional golfer. He had some success after World War I and won the 1921 News of the World Match Play.

Golf career

Seymour was the professional at Molesey Hurst Golf Club from 1908 to 1921.[2]

Seymour had reached the final stages of the 1919 News of the World Match Play, losing to the eventual winner Abe Mitchell at the last 32 stage.[3] He qualified again for the final stages in 1920 and reached the semi-final, losing again to Mitchell, who won for the second year in succession.[4] In 1921 he qualified through a 36-hole event and won 6 matches to win the title. He met Jack Gaudin in the 36-hole final. Gaudin missed a three-foot putt at the last and the match went to extra holes. Seymour missed short putts at the second and third extra holes and eventually won the match with another short putt at the 40th hole. He won £200 for his victory while Gaudin took home £50.[5]

gollark: But... Google is hiring some of the smartest programmers around, can they *not* make a language which is not this, well, stupid? Dumbed-down?

gollark: It has some very nice things for the cloud-thing/CLI tool/server usecase; the runtime is pretty good and for all garbage collection's flaws manual memory management is annoying, and the standard library is pretty extensive.

gollark: I'm not entirely sure what the aim is - maybe they originally wanted to go for highly concurrent systems or something, but nowadays it seems to mostly be used in trendy cloudy things, servers, command line utilities, that sort of thing.

gollark: I think my use cases are nice usecases, and I think it has flaws even in the domains it seems to be targeted at.

gollark: I think it should at least not, essentially, deliberately cripple itself at some classes of thing.
