Quote from 1927 Ryder Cup Team Captain and golf great Walter Hagen: ‘‘During my years as captain of the Ryder Cup teams, I insisted that our fellows be fittingly uniformed. Various manufacturers offered knickers and coats free for our use, but I turned them down. Instead, I ordered, and paid for, beautifully tailored marine-blue jackets and pale grey trousers from the Alfred Nelson Company in New York."
