Aiken and Bobby Jones
Golf has been a favorite sport in Aiken, South Carolina for more than a century. Palmetto Golf Club is one of the oldest golf courses in the United States, founded in 1892 by the winter colonist Thomas Hitchcock. Aiken is situated just a little more than 15 miles from one of the most famous golf tournaments that’s played: the Augusta National Golf Club which hosts The Master’s Tournament. The Masters is the first of the four major championships in professional golf and, unlike the other three events, is always played at the same golf club every year. One of the people who started the tournament was the celebrated golfer Bobby Jones, who also often played at The Palmetto Golf Club. Each April, golf enthusiasts from all over the world vie for tickets and travel to Augusta, Georgia and areas surrounding the tournament, like Aiken, to watch five days of competition between the best golfers on the professional circuit.
Robert Knowles was a winter colonist from Boston who came to Aiken in the 1930s when he was stationed in Augusta at Camp Gordon. His great-grandfather was the illustrious American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. “Bobby”, as he was called, was enchanted with the Aiken of that time because there were no paved roads and people still drove buggies. At a social event, he met his future wife: the only child of Lucy Mercer Rutherfurd, who was famous for having had a long-standing and well-documented relationship with President Franklin Roosevelt.
Bobby played golf every chance he got. He had been an avid golfer since he was just a small boy in Boston. Soon he was a member of the Palmetto Golf Club. From 1945 to 1953 Palmetto held a professional golf event called th Devereux Milburn tournament the weekend before the Masters. This tournament was won by such notables as Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson. Bobby, as a member and a gifted player, helped organize the tournament in Aiken. Then in the 1950s, he became one of the scorekeepers at The Master’s Tournament.
The scoring of golf is based on standardized rules. In a tournament, the number of strokes is counted and the winner of the event is the player who sinks the ball into the hole with the least number of strokes. The number of strokes assigned to each hole is classified by its par. “Par”, in golf, indicates the number of strokes it takes a practiced golfer to complete a single play of the hole. One of the main factors in determining the par of a hole is the distance that lies between the tee and the green.
In order to show how the participants were progressing during the tournament for the first six holes, Bobby devised a system in which the red numbers on the main board indicated how many strokes were “below” par and the green numbers indicated how many strokes the golfer had made that were “above” par. Before that time, the score was kept individually by the golfers and their caddies and was not displayed. As a result, the terms “above par” and “below par” became part of the scoring vocabulary in the game of golf.
Bobby Knowles became a gifted golfer and was considered one of the best amateur in America. A golfer is termed an “amateur” when he or she plays in tournaments, but does not receive money for wins. In 1983, he was inducted into the South Carolina Golf Hall of Fame as having an “extensive international amateur playing career”. He won many South Carolina championships, including the, Walker Cup team. He served as a Masters Committeeman for 29 years.

Augusta and Aiken in Golf's Golden Age
Discover Augusta and Aiken in Golf's Golden Age presented by Arcadia Publishing. The game of golf got its start in the Southeastern United States in 1892 on four holes with sand greens at Palmetto Golf Club in Aiken, South Carolina. Within five years, Palmetto had expanded to eighteen holes and the first nine-hole course in neighboring Augusta, Georgia was designed at the Hotel Bon Air. For half a century, the Augusta-Aiken area flourished as the winter destination of choice for the rich, famous, and powerful in America. Presidents Taft, Harding, and Eisenhower vacationed here. Baseball great Ty Cobb bought a home in Augusta's quaint Summerville neighborhood. It was here that Bobby Jones began the improbable journey towards a Grand Slam, then built his dream golf course. By the turn of the century, winter tourism and grand resort hotels in the Augusta-Aiken area were well established. A favorable winter climate and easy rail access drew vacationers to Highland Park Hotel (1866), Willcox Hotel (1898), and Park in the Pines (1900) in Aiken; Hotel Bon Air (1890) and Partridge Inn (1913) in Augusta; and Hampton Terrace Hotel and Golf Club (1903) in North Augusta. Resorts in Florida and the growth of the air travel industry later coupled to mark the area's decline in winter tourism, but not before Augusta-Aiken's place in golf history was secure. In this unique volume, vintage images and accompanying text recall the unfo rgettable legends, the meticulously maintained courses, and all of the grandeur associated with the game.

Aiken’s 1953 Gas Explosion
By the beginning of the 1950s, Aiken, South Carolina, was well on its way to becoming a progressive and modern small town. For more than a century, it had been a destination for northern sports enthusiasts who enjoyed the mild winters for golf and equestrian sports. Then, almost overnight, it became the nearest town to the largest construction project ever undertaken in the United States, The Savannah River Plant. The influx of tens of thousands of people in 1952 caused the downtown to expand to keep pace with the sudden increase in population.
The early hours of January 27, 1953, started out like every other weekday morning in Aiken. People were going about their morning business as usual around eight o’clock. Cars were heading down the roads toward their typical morning destinations. Parents were dropping their children off at schools and heading to their work places. Then, the unthinkable happened.
At approximately 8:30 AM, an explosion caused by a natural gas leak ripped through the basement of Jones Electric Company. Located between Hayne and Richland Avenues on Laurens Street, the building burst into flames almost immediately. Soon thereafter, the intense fire overtook four more buildings: McCreary Dry Goods, Liles Drugs, the Diana Shop and Platt Drugstore. All of them were burning out of control within moments of the explosion. People who lived in Aiken at that time have likened the blast to “a bomb” hitting the town. The shaking of the ground was reportedly felt miles away from downtown.
Aiken firefighters and medical crews rushed to the horrific scene in downtown Aiken, but more assistance was needed. So, the fire trucks and personnel from the Savannah River Plant drove the 20 miles to help their newly adopted hometown cope with the disaster. As the fire was being fought, several local men began to hear the cries of victims who were caught in the rubble. Earl Young and Ray Hydrick pulled four people who were trapped in the debris to safety. Sadly, ten other people were not as fortunate.
It took hours for the fire to finally be extinguished and when it was, almost one entire block of Laurens Street was destroyed. It took several years for new construction to be finished to replace the buildings that were lost that day.
Recently, an historical marker was erected on Laurens Street in Aiken. It was placed very close to the site where the gas leak that started the fire occurred. The marker gives general details of the explosion, but more importantly, it lists the names of those who lost their lives that day.
It reads: On this spot on Jan. 27, 1953, an explosion caused by a natural gas leak destroyed the Jones Electric Co. building and damaged Holley Hardware, Platt's Drug Store, R.W. McCreary's, The Diana Shop and Liles Drug Company. The explosion and ensuing fire left a gaping hole in the face of downtown Aiken. Ten citizens of Aiken were killed in the accident and are here remembered. They are Leila May Weeks, David O. Rutland, Emilie C. McCarter, John C. Watson, Charles Nelson Long, Mrs. R.B. Dunkin, John Henry (Jack) Neibling, James Bubba Moseley, Jack Holley and Ruth Madrey.
