GEORGE S. LYON

George Seymour Lyon didn’t take up the game of golf until he was 38 years old, but that didn’t stop him from honing his skills to become one of Canada’s greatest champions. Lyon won the gold medal for golf at the 1904 Olympics at 46 years old and celebrated his victory by walking through the clubhouse on his hands. He captured eight Canadian Amateur Championships and was runner-up in both the U.S. Amateur and Canadian Open.
