Georgia Tech fielded its first intercollegiate golf team in 1918, “and it was met with marked success in the matches with the Eastern colleges,” reads the 1918 edition of the Blueprint, the Georgia Tech yearbook.
“To get to the personnel and work of the team. Very little time was had by the men to practice, but they went to it with a will and when the time for the first match with Columbia came around, a formidable quartet was on hand. Perry Adair, one of the foremost golfers in the South, was number one man. Adair has been playing golf around Atlanta since twelve years old and holds many of the course records in the South. Fred Howden of Savannah, was elected manager. Howden had a score of notable records to his credit there. Ewing Watkins, one of the best golfers in Tennessee and said to be the longest driver in the South, and Tom Prescott of Atlanta golf fame, comprised the other two members of the team.”
Scoring for matches that year, and in years beyond, “was kept on the Nassau system, the winners on the first nine being awarded one point, the same being true for the second nine holes, and an additional point being awarded for the best ball of the match.”
