Condition: Good. 183p. cloth. Alex Smith originally from Carnoustie, made his career in the United States. He was the head professional at Nassau Country Club in Glen Cove, New York, from 1901 through 1909.[5] James Maiden, who would forge a successful golf career of his own, served as assistant professional under Smith at Nassau.[5] In 1901, Smith lost to Willie Anderson in a playoff for the U.S. Open title.[6] Smith's 1906 U.S. Open victory came at the Onwentsia Club in Lake Forest, Illinois. His 72-hole score of 295 was the lowest at either the U.S. Open or the British Open up to that time, and he won $300. The 1910 U.S. Open was played over the St. Martin's course at the Philadelphia Cricket Club. Smith won a three-man playoff against American John McDermott and another of his own brothers, Macdonald Smith. Alex Smith played in eighteen U.S. Opens in total and accumulated eleven top ten placings. Smith, who partnered with C. A. Dunning in the 1905 Metropolitan Open four-ball tournament held on 16 September 1905 at Fox Hills Golf Club on Staten Island, tied for first place with George Low and Fred Herreshoff with a score of 71. A playoff wasn't held due to the fact that Smith was also competing in the medal competition which he won from Willie Anderson.[7] Smith also won the Western Open twice and the Metropolitan Open four times.
