Michael Bonallack has died at age 88. He was an enormous figure in British golf as its most accomplished amateur and later the secretary of the Royal & Ancient.
“He made a huge contribution to golf not only as one of the finest amateur golfers in the history of the sport but also as an extremely effective leader and administrator,” said Martin Slumbers, CEO of the R&A.
The two-time Masters champion wanted a suspect drop in the trees left of the 10th fairway. Ballesteros wanted a second opinion. He got Bonallack, who was said to drive up in his cart and, without stopping, looked at the lie and simply told Ballesteros, “Hit it.” His amateur victories spanned the British Boys Amateur in 1952 to the Lytham Trophy in 1972. He played in the Masters three times and was the low amateur in the British Open twice in his 13 appearances. His best showing was at Muirfield in 1959 when he tied for 11th. At Carnoustie in 1968, he was tied for the 18-hole lead.
Bonallack’s wife, Angela, died last year. She also had a strong golf heritage with two English Amateur titles and six appearances in the Curtis Cup. She had a classic swing. Bonallack was more scrappy, a player who relied on an immaculate short game.
