“In 2013 the Lambton G &CC had a re- enactment of the commemorative match between Harry Vardon and Ted Ray vs Percy Barrett and George Cumming . David Burgess and his historical golf society put on a fantastic day of golf with a match between Lambton members playing the Historical Society. David provided the Lambton members with hickory golf clubs and limited flight golf balls. Our members all wore period dress (knickers, plus fours and Hogan caps). It was a super fun day of camaraderie and fellowship. David’s passion for golf and the early history of the game made our day unforgettable! I highly recommend David and can’t wait to have him back at Lambton again in the future. “

BARRIE COUNTRY CLUB
Founded 1913
” The tournament was extremely well attended, and the day provided a lot of excitement throughout the club … Members talked about this day for years after the event! “
“David Burgess was instrumental in organizing our Hickory Stick Tournament while celebrating our 100th Anniversary at Barrie Country Club. After only a few meetings, David was able to offer us assistance in providing antique golf clubs for all the participants to use during the tournament. The tournament was extremely well attended, and the day provided a lot of excitement throughout the club. David was also available during the tournament to assess members’ old golf clubs and appraise them of their value. Some members bought some of his clubs on display, and everyone enjoyed learning a little more about our favourite sport. Members talked about this day for years after the event!”
