This Day in Golf History: November 26

On this date in 1920, it is credited as the day the U.S. Golf Association officially formed its Green Section, the division in the USGA that handles its policy on greenkeeping and course care regarding turfgrass. And one of the grand Scottish golfers of days gone by was born on this date in 1873. Fred Herd was born in the most special place of all for a golfer, St. Andrews. His claim to fame was winning the 1898 U.S. Open.
