NOTE: Also debuting for GB&I was Doug Sewell, not a typical international amateur golfer of that time. Sewell was a railway signals wireman by trade. He belonged to the Hook Heath Artisans GC, which was attached to Woking GC, where his father was an assistant greenkeeper. In return for a certain amount of work on the course during the year, the artisans enjoyed playing rights on the course ... but only at certain times, and not before 4pm on weekends in the summer.
