Timeline

1951

''“The more you see of Scrutton, the more he strikes you as a person you Expect to bump into only in fiction, so much "in character" are the highly individual manners and mannerisms of this wealthy young man who owns about eight cars and, in pursuit of a first-class golf game, spent the winter of 1951 on the winter circuit in America.

Scrutton's woods, just as you would Expect, are encased in leopard-skin covers.

During his match with Patton he wore an off-yellow sweater with a matching Beret and, in addition to his caddy, employed a retainer to carry a folding chair on which he could sit when Patton was shooting.

But Scrutton, mechanical as is the delivery of his swing, can play golf, and he ran clear away from Billy Joe, losing the first and then winning eight of the next nine holes and, in due course, the match, 7 and 6.”''
