Harry Rountree (1878-1950) TREGENNA: SHORT COURSE - SHORT ''PRO'' - BOTH GOOD signed & titled, watercolour & crayon, heightened with gouache, 39.5 by 25.5cm., 15 1/2 by 10in., framed & glazed; sold together with a scanned reproduction photograph of Reginald Coller (2) The Tregenna Golf Club professional featured by Rountree is Reginald Charles Coller, from whom Rountree received golf lessons whist he was at St Ives in Cornwall. Coller was the first professional at Tregenna when it opened as a 9-hole course in 1929. Coller holds the course record there of 22 strokes which will never be beaten as it converted to a par 60 18-hole course in 1983. In the golfing world, Harry Rountree is fondly remembered for his acclaimed illustrations in Bernard Darwin's 1910 publication The Golf Courses of the British Isles.
