title: Irudhi Suttru

text:
() is a 2016 Indian sports drama film written and directed by Sudha Kongara. Filmed simultaneously in Tamil and Hindi, with the latter being titled as  (), the film stars R. Madhavan as boxing coach who is ignored by the boxing association, tries to accomplish his dream by training an amateur boxer, Madhi, played by Ritika Singh in her acting debut. Both the Tamil and Hindi versions are produced by S. Sashikanth for YNOT Studios and UTV Motion Pictures, while C. V. Kumar's Thirukumaran Entertainment and Dream Factory distributed the Tamil version and the Hindi version was jointly distributed by Madhavan himself under the Tricolour Films banner along with Rajkumar Hirani Films.

Kongara wrote the script for the film in early 2011, and approached Madhavan for the leading role, for whom the film marks his comeback to Tamil cinema after four years. The pre-production works of the film began during 2013, and was officially announced by Sashikanth in May 2014. The film's shooting began in July 2014 and completed that December, with the entire film was shot within fifty days. Featuring music composed by Santhosh Narayanan, with a background score by Sanjay Wandrekar and Atul Raninga (for the Hindi version), the film has cinematography by Sivakumar Vijayan and editing by Sathish Suriya.

Both versions  and  opened on 29 January 2016. Unlike the Hindi version which received mixed reviews, the Tamil version opened to critical acclaim, praising the performances of Madhavan and Singh, whilst the story, direction and other technical aspects, too received appreciation. A commercial success at the box office,  won the National Award for Special Mention (Ritika Singh), three Filmfare Awards: Best Director (Kongara), Best Actor (Madhavan), Best Actress (Ritika Singh). In addition, the film won three awards each at the Ananda Vikatan Cinema Awards, IIFA Utsavam Awards and SIIMA Awards. The film was later remade by Kongara herself in Telugu language as Guru (2017) with several members of the cast reprising their respective roles and Venkatesh playing Madhavan's role.

Plot
Prabhu Selvaraj/Aditya "Adi" Tomar is a talented yet failed boxer who, despite being very gifted in boxing, falls victim to the dirty politics in the boxing association, and loses his chance to go to 1996 Summer Olympics. 15 years later, he is a government coach for the national women's boxing training academy but is always extremely angry with the lethargic attitude of boxers and frustrated with the partiality in selection. Due to his constant rift with the association head Dev Khatri, he is falsely charged with sexual harassment in Delhi and gets transferred to Chennai to identify and develop new women boxers. Despite the very poor infrastructure, Prabhu/Adi manages to find natural talent in a roadside fish seller named Ezhil Madhi, who he notices while she is thrashing the judges during her elder sister Lakshmi "Lux"'s tournament.

Ignoring Lux who has been boxing for eight years to get a sports quota government job, Prabhu/Adi offers to pay and train Madhi for a few hours daily. Unfortunately, the two do not get along due to Prabhu/Adi's ruthless training methods and Madhi's aggressive nature. As a result, Madhi intentionally loses a local match. Prabhu/Adi later asks Lux and Madhi's parents, Saamikannu and Damayanthi, to send them to stay in a hostel with him so that their daughters can work hard on training. Madhi misunderstands him but later regrets it when she finds out that Prabhu/Adi has sold his beloved bike to buy new training equipment for her. Madhi then starts training with Prabhu/Adi and develops feelings for him. On the day of a qualifying match, she reveals her feelings to Prabhu/Adi, but he promptly rejects her. During the warm-up before the match, a now jealous Lux injures Madhi's hand, causing Madhi to lose the chance to the Olympics. Angry, Prabhu/Adi thinks that Madhi lost intentionally again and throws her out of training camp.

Dev takes advantage of the situation by calling Madhi to Delhi for a cultural exchange tournament and makes her fight with a heavyweight Russian boxer, who knocks out Madhi in 30 seconds. A demotivated Madhi is then approached by Dev with an indecent proposal, to which she reacts by injuring him. Dev takes revenge by getting her arrested on false theft charges. Prabhu/Adi comes to the rescue and bails her out. He later takes Madhi to Delhi to get her a wild-card entry into the World Boxing Championship, to be held in Goa, two months later. Many people in the association, including Lux, accuse Madhi of offering sexual favours to Prabhu/Adi. Ignoring all the accusations, Madhi works hard, enters the tournament representing India and goes on to win the semifinal.

One hour before finals, Dev refuses to sign Madhi's boxer entry to the match and blackmails Prabhu/Adi to resign immediately if he wants to see Madhi in the final, with the same Russian boxer who knocked her out in Delhi. Prabhu/Adi resigns from his government job, and Madhi who gets to fight in the final round is dejected after learning about Prabhu/Adi's resignation. She keeps losing points in the early rounds and gets badly injured before Prabhu/Adi shows up at the stadium and indicates her to attack her opponent's arms to make her weak as Genghis Khan did to his enemies. Madhi follows the game plan and knocks out the opponent with seconds to go in the final round. Dev quickly jumps into the ring to take the credit for training Madhi, but she heavily punches him and runs to Prabhu/Adi. Madhi and Prabhu/Adi hug each other, showing their emotional reunion.

Cast

Production

Development
During the production of her first directorial venture Drohi in 2010, Kongara began writing a sports drama film on boxing after reading an editorial in The Hindu about North Chennai and its boxing culture. Kongara consequently began gathering further information about female boxers and networked with Indian Olympic athletes including Mary Kom, in order to help write her script. In September 2011, she approached R. Madhavan, who was on a sabbatical from Tamil films, to portray the lead role in the film and his presence in the project helped take the financial viability of the venture to a higher level. The pair had previously collaborated in Madhavan's films under the direction of Mani Ratnam, where Kongara had been an assistant director.  Portraying a retired boxer, Madhavan grew a thick beard and sported long hair for his role in the film, while embarking on an intense body conditioning regime in Los Angeles during 2013. Reports erroneously suggested that Madhavan was playing a role in another sports drama film, a biopic of the Indian boxer Mary Kom, and he clarified that he was acting on a separate film on boxing. Ashvini Yardi was initially announced as the film's producer and began casting real life boxers including fighters from the Super Fight League for the film. But, YNOT Studios and Thirukumaran Entertainment agreed to jointly produce the film in May 2014, with Santhosh Narayanan subsequently signed on to compose the film's music. The team also brought in director Rajkumar Hirani, as a result of his close association with Madhavan, to act as creative producer for the film and he helped doctor the script to give it a pan-Indian appeal.

The film's Hindi title was first revealed to be Zara, then Laal and then was changed to  in June 2014, with reports suggesting that the film would be loosely based on the life of boxing icon Muhammad Ali, a claim the team denied. The film's Tamil title  was announced shortly after, with the team beginning production from 14 July 2014. Two professional boxers from a boxing academy, Ritika Singh and Mumtaz Sorcar, who has done films in Bengali, were signed to play the two female leads. Singh had been initially spotted by Kongara on an advert for the Super Fight League competition, and successfully auditioned for the lead character's role after being reached through the competition's organiser Raj Kundra. Kaali Venkat and Baljinder Kaur were signed to play the parents of Singh and Mumtaz, while veteran actors Nassar, Radharavi and Zakir Hussain were all also signed on to play pivotal roles, and took part in pre-filming rehearsals with the rest of the cast. Action choreographers Stunner Sam from Chennai and Tom Delmar from London were signed on to work on the film, while Alexander Cortes worked as Madhavan's personal trainer. Madhavan's friend, actress Shilpa Shetty, also helped Madhavan gain and lose weight effectively during the period, doubling up as a dietician and fitness coach.

Filming
A small official launch event was held on 8 August 2014 and the team began a schedule shoot in Chennai thereafter. Scenes were shot in the tsunami-hit region slums of Srinivasapuram for the initial days of shoot. By October 2014, it was reported that the film was sixty percent complete, with most scenes being shot in the areas surrounding Chennai. The team then shot for a schedule in Dharamshala, before returning to Ooty to finish filming portions. Madhavan suffered a minor injury on the sets during the last week, but continued through the pain to finish the film. Filming portions for the venture were completed in mid-November 2014 after forty two days of shoot.  Post-production works took place throughout 2015 and several potential release dates were evaded. Rajkumar Hirani's late inclusion in the project meant that he requested the team to re-shoot certain portions, with Madhavan regrowing a long beard after having removed it in December 2014. The team subsequently shot for ten further days in late 2015, while completing patchwork. Throughout the production of the film and dubbing purposes, Madhavan wore metal braces inside his teeth, in order to create the effect of having a lisp that most boxers have from sporting injuries.

Music

The film's soundtrack album is composed by Santhosh Narayanan for both Tamil and Hindi versions. While Santhosh composed the film score for the Tamil version, the Hindi version , had background music composed Sanjay Wandrekar and Atul Raninga, as per the suggestion of Rajkumar Hirani (the distributor of ), since both of them had worked on the score for his films 3 Idiots (2010) and PK (2014). Lyrics for the soundtrack of  in its entirety was penned by Swanand Kirkire, whilst Vivek and Muthamil wrote the tracks for . The album of Hindi version was released first on 2 January 2016, while the album of the Tamil version was released on 4 January 2016 at an event held at Sathyam Cinemas, Chennai.

Marketing and release
Varun Manian's Radiance Media initially agreed to distribute the Tamil version of the film, collaborating with YNOT Studios and Thirukumaran Entertainment, but later opted out of the agreement. The Hindi version was jointly distributed by Rajkumar Hirani's production house and Madhavan's Tricolour Films, for which the film is the first project.  A teaser trailer for the Hindi version was attached to the theatrical release of Rajkumar Hirani's PK, while the Tamil version's teaser was also released with Prabhu Solomon's Kayal in December 2014. During the period of post-production work throughout 2015, Madhavan and Hirani held several screenings of the film to select audiences in order to observe opinions and gather feedback. Promotions for the film began again in late November 2015, when UTV Motion Pictures announced that they would also be a part of the production and would distribute the film alongside the other production houses. The trailer of the Hindi version  released on 15 December 2015, while a differently edited Tamil version was released two days later. The trailers received widespread critical acclaim and were promoted by several members of the Indian film industry.

In early January 2016, the film began their marketing campaign with the makers travelling to Madurai and Coimbatore for promotions, after launching the Tamil version of the soundtrack in Chennai. With a publicity budget of 9 crore rupees, the promotions were described by The Hindu to be "unlike other film promotions in the South", considering that most film teams in the Tamil film industry do not usually tour around the state publicising their project. During his time in Coimbatore, Madhavan visited a college and delivered a motivational speech, while he also made several television appearances for special shows to be broadcast on Pongal and Republic Day. The team travelled extensively between Mumbai and Chennai to promote the film, while a further trailer for the Tamil version was cut and released ten days before the film opened. Before the release of the film, the team held several screenings to select Hindi and Tamil audiences and edited the film accordingly to the taste of the audiences. The team also held two première shows in Hindi and Tamil for the film industry, in the week leading up to the film's release. The satellite rights of the film's Tamil version were sold to Jaya TV and the Hindi version were sold to SET Max.  was later screened at the 29th Tokyo International Film Festival during October 2016 and was then also selected to be a part of the Indian Panorama section at 47th International Film Festival of India.

title: Feyli Lurs

text:
The Feyli Lurs (also transliterated as Fayli Lurs or Feyli Lors) are a collection of Lur tribes that primarily live in the Lorestan province of Iran. Their dialect is almost identical to that of standard Persian.

All of the tribes in Lorestan were known as "Feyli" during the two centuries that the entire territory of Lorestan was governed by hereditary governors that were descended from Hoseyn Khan Solvizi, who had received the governorship of the province by Shah Abbas I () in 1593. However, this started to change the start of the 19th century. The eastern portion of Lorestan, Pish-e Kuh, was taken by Mohammad-Ali Mirza Dowlatshah, the governor-general of Kermanshah and the oldest son of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar (). The governor of Lorestan was thus only left in control of Posht-e Kuh, the western portion. The word "Feyli" then came to refer exclusively to those tribes in the Posht-e Kuh since it had previously been connected to the Solvizi family.

Not much reliable data has been collected about the Feylis of Posht-e Kuh. The Kord and Mahaki tribes are the two largest Feyli Lur groups in the area. In 1939, Henry Field estimated their population to be 50,000-60,000 people, while Mas'ud Kayhan estimated it at 40,000 people in 1941.

There also exists a Feyli Lur community in the Fars province, which has resided there since they went along with the Zand ruler Karim Khan Zand (). In 1849, it consisted of 100 families. Eventually, some of them became part of the Amali tribe of the Qashqai confederation, which is documented in the Fars-Nama-ye Naseri by Hasan Fasa'i. Others made Shiraz their new home; in 1939, Henry Field estimated them to be at 100 families, while Kayhan estimated it at 150 families in 1941. In 1956, they numbered between 800 and 1,000 people.

title: Latmin

text:
Latmin () is a Syrian village located in the Kafr Zita Subdistrict of the Mahardah District in Hama Governorate. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Latmin had a population of 1,113 in the 2004 census.

History
The medieval Muslim geographer al-Yaqubi mentions a village named al-Atmim as being part of Jund Hims (military district of Homs) in the 9th-century. This village corresponds with the artificial mound of Tell Latmin. The Crusaders captured it in the early 11th-century. However, following the decisive victory of a Muslim alliance at the Battle of Harran in May 1104, Latmin was restored to Muslim control, falling to the kingdom of Ridwan of Aleppo. The Crusader garrison in the village fled back to the Principality of Antioch, which experienced a severe territorial loss in the interior region of northwestern Syria in the aftermath of the battle. The Crusader forces of the Principality recaptured the village when Ridwan's forces were defeated in the Battle of Artah in April 1105. In the 1220s, during Ayyubid rule, the Syrian geographer Yaqut al-Hamawi noted that Latmin was "a district with a fortress in it," belonging to Hims Province.

title: Gustavo Deco

text:
Gustavo Deco is an Argentinian and Italian professor and scientist. He serves as Research Professor at the Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies and Full Professor (Catedratico) at the Pompeu Fabra University, where he is Director of the Center of Brain and Cognition and head of the Computational Neuroscience Group. In 2001 Deco was awarded the international prize of Siemens "Inventor of the Year" for his contributions in statistical learning, models of visual perception, and fMRI based diagnosis of neuropsychiatric diseases..

Training
Deco holds three doctorates in interrelated disciplines. A Ph.D. in physics from the National University of Rosario (Argentina) (1987), a habilitation in Computer Science from the Technical University of Munich (1997), and a PhD in psychology from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (2001). These degrees were obtained whilst holding a number of research posts. In 1987, he held a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Bordeaux. In 1988 and 1999, he was a postdoc fellow at the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation at the University of Giessen in Germany. From 1993-2003 he led the Computational Neuroscience Group in the Neural Computing Section of the Siemens Corporate Research Center in Munich, Germany.

Deco has held lecturing posts at Rosario, Frankfurt and Munich and, since 2001, invited lecturer post at the Ludwig-Maximilian-University of Munich. He was associate professor at the Technical University of Munich and honorary professor at the University of Rosario in 1998. From 2001-2009, he was a McDonnell-Pew Visiting Fellow at the Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Oxford.

Academic contributions
Deco has made important contributions on a number of topics including computational neuroscience, neuropsychology, psycholinguistics, biological networks, statistical formulation of neural networks, and chaos theory. His most highly cited research focuses on whole-computational modelling of ongoing spontaneous activity in resting-state networks, and thus providing a causal understanding of these important networks in health and disease. Deco is currently investigating these research questions in his advanced ERC grant “The Dynamical and Structural Basis of Human Mind Complexity: Segregation and Integration of Information and Processing in the Brain”.

In his research, Deco has used large-scale cortical models where the networks teeter on the edge of instability. In this state, the functional networks are in a low-firing stable state while they are continuously pulled towards multiple other configurations. Small extrinsic perturbations can shape task-related network dynamics, whereas perturbations from intrinsic noise generate excursions reflecting the range of available functional networks. This is particularly advantageous for the efficiency and speed of network mobilization. Thus, the resting state reflects the dynamical capabilities of the brain, which emphasizes the vital interplay of time and space. Ongoing research concentrates on characterizing these functional and structural networks in health and disease with a view to creating a new discipline of computational neuropsychiatry.

title: Guthrie Wilson

text:
Guthrie Edward Melville "Gus" Wilson  (8 November 1914 – 9 December 1984) was a New Zealand and Australian novelist and educator.

Early life
He was born in Palmerston North and educated at Palmerston North Boys' High School and Victoria University of Wellington, where he graduated MA with first-class honours (with a thesis on Sir George Grey as Premier of New Zealand) and was a rugby blue. Then he went to Wellington Teachers' Training College. His first teaching job was at Central Primary School, Palmerston North, in 1936, which he later described as a "living death"; in Easter 1937 he went to Marlborough College.

War service
He served as a New Zealand infantry officer in the Italian Campaign of 1944–45. He was awarded the MC for the action at the Senio, citing "his leadership [and] devotion to duty", an unusual award for a junior officer (2nd Lieut). As his unit was in reserve he did not participate in the Battle for Cassino. He was captured by the Germans and nearly shot as retaliation for the alleged killing of German prisoners; he was reported missing but his wife did not hear that he had been captured until he was released and arrived in England.

Teaching career
In 1946 he obtained a position at his old school, Palmerston North Boys' High School, where he taught English, history and Latin. In 1954 he missed out on the position of rector (headmaster) at the school, because of controversy about the "pornography" and "foul language" in his first novel, Brave Company (led by the local MP Blair Tennent). In 1956 he successfully sued the local newspaper The Manawatu Times over a "sour grapes" review of his novel Sweet White Wine which had claimed that the novel was based on his unsuccessful application for the rectorship, obtaining substantial damages of £2500.

The Wilsons then moved to Australia, where he taught at two church schools in Sydney: Newington College from 1956 to 1962, then The Scots College. He was appointed Acting Principal of Scots College from June 1965, and was appointed Principal from 1966 after an amendment to the constitution to allow an Anglican to be appointed Principal of the Presbyterian college. He held the position until his retirement in December 1979.

Writing career
At university he had contributed poems to the university literary magazine Spike and to the left-wing magazine Tomorrow, and had short stories accepted by Man Magazine in Australia, then one of the most sexually daring magazines in Australasia. His first novel, Brave Company, was an international best-seller first published in the United States, and was controversial for its explicit language. Some later novels also drew on his war experiences.

He was described as "the only substantial New Zealand novelist to emerge from the (barren) early 1950s", and (like David Ballantyne) in the second generation of Provincial novelists in the Provincial Period of 1935 to 1964.

He died in Sydney in 1984 of a heart attack at the age of 70. He married Madge Lorraine Svenson in 1938; they had two sons and a daughter.

title: Aphis craccivora

text:
Aphis craccivora, variously known as the cowpea aphid, groundnut aphid or black legume aphid, is a true bug in the family Aphididae.  Originally of probable Palearctic origin, it is now an invasive species of cosmopolitan distribution.

Description
Aphis craccivora is a small species of aphid. The female has a glossy black or dark brown body with a prominent cauda (tail-like protrusion), and legs in some shade of brown or yellow. The antennae have six segments and these and the limb segments, cauda and cornicles are pale proximally (close to the body) and dark distally (further from the body). The adults do not have wax on their dorsal surface but the nymphs are lightly dusted with wax. Winged females are up to  long and have cross-barring on the abdomen. Wingless females are a little smaller.

Distribution
Aphis craccivora is believed to be Palearctic in origin but has expanded its range so that now it is near cosmopolitan. In recent years its range has extended further north in Siberia and Canada and further south in Chile and Argentina. It is abundant in the Mediterranean area and subtropics and in the tropics it is one of the most common aphid species. Infests cowpea in India, the Philippines, Thailand, the southern United States, tropical Africa, and Latin America.

Hosts
Aphis craccivora is polyphagous, meaning it feeds on a large number of different species of plant, but it seems to have a preference for members of the bean family. Other plant families sometimes acting as hosts include Asteraceae, Brassicaceae, Caryophyllaceae, Chenopodiaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Malvaceae, Ranunculaceae, Rosaceae and Solanaceae. Crops attacked by this aphid include brassicas, cucurbits, beetroot, peanut, cotton, cowpeas, chickpeas and cardamom.

Life cycle
In the former USSR, Aphis craccivora overwinters as eggs, often at the base of young alfalfa plants, but is also reported to overwinter on Acacia, camelthorn and perennial weeds. The eggs hatch in early spring and the first larvae are known as fundatrix (stem mothers) and feed at first on alfalfa. These aphids are all female and reproduce by parthenogenesis, producing nymphs which moult four times over the course of eight to twelve days. By the end of April, winged females have migrated to other host plants, often Acacia, and later to cotton, on which crop this pest does much damage. It may move back to alfalfa later in the year. In Belarus, lupine is an important host plant and in Ukraine, Acacia is most affected. A female aphid lives for 9 to 25 days and can produce from 25 to 125 young during its life. There may be up to twenty generations in the year. By November winged forms have developed and eggs are laid before winter sets in.

In warmer climates, parthenogenetic reproduction takes place throughout the year. The winged male insects are seldom encountered but have been observed in Germany, India and Argentina. The aphids tend to concentrate on the growing tips of plants, young leaves, shoots, flowers and developing seed pods. They are often tended by ants which feed on the secretions they produce and deter predators. Natural enemies include parasitic wasps, ladybirds, lacewing larvae and hoverfly larvae.

Damage
Aphis craccivora causes direct damage to plants by stunting and distorting growth. The honeydew produced is deposited on the plants and encourages the growth of sooty moulds which restrict photosynthesis. The aphid is the vector of a number of plant viruses including groundnut rosette virus, peanut mottle virus, peanut stunt virus, subterranean clover stunt virus, bean common mosaic virus, cucumber mosaic virus and alfalfa mosaic virus.

title: Seaton Carew Golf Club

text:
Seaton Carew Golf Club has held golf games since 1874, making it the tenth oldest golf club in England. The club is based in Seaton Carew, near Hartlepool on the North Sea coast, north of the River Tees in North East England. When it was first established it was the only golf club in the English counties of Yorkshire and Durham, hence its original name Durham & Yorkshire Golf Club; the club's crest and badge retain the emblems of both the Archbishop of Durham and The Archbishop of York.

As more golf clubs were coming into being, particularly in North Yorkshire and County Durham, the club's Committee and members decided the old title was no longer apt and the name of Seaton Carew Golf Club was adopted in 1887.  By the end of the 19th century the links was already regarded as one of the English game's premier golfing locations. In the 1888-89 Golfing Annual the course was described as being of "sandy nature, covered with soft velvet turf that springs under one's foot and rejuvenates the aged".
and was also featured in The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News which even in 1894 stated that "in the opinion of visitors that between St Andrews and Sandwich there are few better rounds on the east coast than Seaton Carew." The course has since featured in many golf publications and reviews. Seaton Carew is frequently referred to as one of the most challenging links golf courses anywhere in the British Isles. In 2009 the "Sky News" reporter Graeme Bailey said of his visit to these links "Seaton Carew has everything any golfer would want, but most importantly it is a course which could stand shoulder to shoulder with anything in Britain."

Seaton Carew Golf Club was one of the earliest golf clubs in the UK to elect a lady captain of the club. Jane Longhorn was appointed in December 2010 and served the club as captain throughout 2011. Longhorn was the first lady to be elected as captain in the club's 136-year history.

Founding of the Club
This golf club's existence is due mainly to one man, its founder Dr. Duncan McCuaig, a surgeon from Edinburgh who moved down to Middlesbrough shortly after qualifying at Edinburgh University. McCuaig was a good golfer, winning the gold medal at St Andrews on two occasions, in 1867 and 1869.

On transferring to Middlesbrough to further his medical career Dr. McCuaig was dismayed to find there was nowhere throughout County Durham or North Yorkshire to exercise his talent for the game. So he set about finding a suitable place to play. As luck would have it he came across a strip of pasture land, known locally as The Snooks at Seaton Carew, where local people grazed their livestock. It was close to the mouth of the River Tees, running between the north shore and Seaton Carew village, and was owned by Lord Eldon. With Eldon's permission, and after some resistance from the stint holders whose sheep and cattle roamed the area, Dr. McCuaig and a few like-minded colleagues were able to rent a piece of land on which they established the Durham & Yorkshire Golf Club. The contribution that Dr. McCuaig made to the creation of Seaton Carew Golf Club is recalled every time anyone plays the Seaton links, a challenging par 3 surrounded by eight bunkers is named "The Doctor" in his memory.

Seaton Carew Golf Club historical records and archive
The club has an extensive historical archive as a result of the association of the Bunting family. Today this archive is held by Mr. Edward Bunting whose grandfather, C.J. Bunting and father, G. Bunting, both served as officials of the club. The Bunting's continuous association with the club began before 1890 when the archive began. C.J. Bunting became club secretary in 1893 recording in his newspaper archive "Appointed Honoury Secretary of Seaton Carew Golf Club on the 8th November 1893 but did not take office until the 13th of November 1893 (my birthday)". Edward Bunting, a member of The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews since 1991, was a marshal at three Open Championships in 1995, 2000 and 2005 and his father Gilbert Bunting was a referee at five Ryder Cups. Edward Bunting, who in 2014 was aged 78, during his amateur golfing career reached a handicap of 1. Bunting had the honour of scoring a "hole-in-one" on the Old Course at St Andrews which has been certificated by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club. This was his only hole-in-one throughout a long amateur golfing career, not as you might expect on a par 3 but on the 307-yard par 4 9th hole on the "Old Course".

The Seaton Carew Golf Club archives held by the Bunting family have been used to prepare several unpublished papers about the history of the club, but two publications have used them extensively. Firstly, a book celebrating the Centenary of the club was published by Derek Hornby in 1974 entitled "The History of Seaton Carew Golf Club 1874-1974". In 1999 Mr Ron Trotter produced a pictorial history of the club to celebrate the 125th anniversary entitled "125 years of Golf at Seaton Carew 1874-1999". In this latter publication many of the historical papers, photographs and score cards in the Bunting archive were reproduced. In Mr Hornby's book he makes a very appropriate dedication to the bulk of the golfing fraternity but is particularly pertinent to those such as the Bunting family "To all those ordinary club golfers who will never be champions but whose whole hearted enthusiasm for the game make them its backbone."

Course Development
Originally the course was laid out by Dr. McCuaig with 14 holes, 4 extra holes were added  by the Club Professional James Kay and opened on 3 August 1891 by the club's first President Major Matthew Gray, but in the 1920s following a remark made by Bernard Darwin in his book "Golf Courses of Great Britain" that Seaton was "grand golfing country but there was not quite enough of it", the club's members decided to support the redevelopment of the 18 holes.  This led the club to call upon the services of course designer Dr. Alister MacKenzie, who went on to create such masterpieces as Augusta National and Cypress Point. He advised the abandonment of some inland holes replacing them with new holes on sandier soil towards the coast, and it's that 1925 layout which forms the basis of today's Old Course at Seaton Carew.

In the 1970s the construction of the a cooling water pipeline tunnel for a nearby power station provided the club with a financial windfall and four new holes were added, under the direction of another great golf architect Frank Pennink. They became known as the "Brabazon loop" and now provide the club with twenty two holes offering a choice of five different course layouts known as the Old, Brabazon, Micklem, New and Bishop courses. (The Bishop Course is named after a Seaton Carew green keeper, Peter Bishop.) The five course layouts and cards from the championship (white tees) can be seen in the "Course Records" section of this page.

Always on the look out for innovations in golf course management, in 2012 Seaton Carew began renovation of all of its south facing bunkers using the "EnviroBunker" methods and materials. The technology eliminates bunker face drying and sand erosion. The work was completed in time for the 2014 Brabazon Trophy.

"Location, Location, Location"
Seaton Carew Golf Club is located in a region that is proud of its current industrial capability and historical industrial heritage in shipbuilding, iron, steel and chemical manufacturing. Many of the club's founding members were involved in these industries and like many of the club's current members proud of the local industrial communities. Today most of the industry that is based around the River Tees is part of the Northeast of England Process Industry Cluster and they, along with the Cleveland Hills, provide the backdrop that dominates the inland views from the course. Some reviewers have commented upon this, but once they have played the Seaton Links come away with a similar impression and sentiments to those expressed by the "Fine Golf" Reviewer who said "the renowned championship links of Seaton Carew on North Tees-side. Though some have remarked disparagingly with regard to its domination by a nearby large nuclear power station, along with other industrial plants that encroach on the inland side and the normal wildness of the links view; in fact these distractions are distant and add in a funny way to the character of the experience, which is one of outstanding championship 'running' golf."

Notable Golfers on the Seaton Carew Golf Links

"Where the Great Ones Trod"
Many famous golfers have played Seaton Carew's links over the years, this includes the Great Triumvirate Harry Vardon, J. H. Taylor, and James Braid. Other notable players include Jack White, John Ball and Harold Hilton. Most of the aforementioned players played in professional challenges with Seaton Carew's longest serving professional, Jimmy Kay.  HRH Edward, Prince of Wales, played at Seaton Carew in 1930, and later that decade Walter Hagen and Joe Kirkwood stopped off during their tour of Europe. In more recent times Open Champion Sir Nick Faldo and current European Tour players Justin Rose, Graeme Storm, Peter Baker have competed over Seaton's links as amateurs as this course is often a challenging host to many amateur championships. Rose went on to be the U.S. Open Champion in 2013. Nick Faldo played at Seaton Carew in the club's Pro-Am in 1976 winning the professional tournament with a 69 (par 72) on the Old Course. Peter Alliss, the renowned golf commentator, has created video flyovers of all of Seaton Carew's five courses and commented "The tenth oldest in England and a true championship links to challenge all levels of players."

Seaton Carew's Legendary Club Professional - James Kay (40 year's service 1886 – 1926)
The role of a golf professional has changed through the years and it has been described in many famous golfing texts from J.H. Taylor's comprehensive "Taylor on Golf" in 1902 (which lists Seaton Carew) through to numerous biographies of the modern day. However too few of the biographies of many of golf's earlier great players have appeared in print but for these players their records speak for them. In this regard few golf clubs can boast of a golfing legend as their long-term professional, an exceptional example is that of Seaton Carew's longest serving professional, James Kay.

Kay, born in Lieth, Scotland in 1855, was engaged by Seaton Carew as their professional on 1 May 1886 following the resignation of Tom Park a member of the famous Park Scottish golfing family. It was Kay's playing record that elevated him above his peers. Press reports of the time showed that Kay played in a total of 22 Open Championships, qualifying in 20 and twice finishing in the top six in the 1892 Open at Muirfield and 1893 Open at Prestwick. On 8 June 1908 he also represented his homeland when he played for Scotland in an international match against England at Prestwick Golf Club. In May 1909, at the age of 53, Kay won the Leeds Cup, a tournament for professional golfers; this is currently the oldest trophy in professional golf worldwide. It was presented to the Professional Golf Association on its formation in 1901 by Alderman Penrose-Green, Lord Mayor of Leeds and President of Leeds Golf Club to be competed for annually by professional golfers. The first competition was held in 1902 at Leeds Golf Club and Kay was one of its earliest winners. Contemporaries record that Kay was "a veritable demon on the green and extremely adept at laying a stymie and therefore as might be guessed was a very fine match player."

Kay played in an era when most of golf's professional players made their money through "money matches" and this was where Kay came into his own especially when playing against the top golfers of his era. Pride of place must go to his performances against the Great Triumvirate of Golf. J.H.Taylor, James Braid and Harry Vardon. Many of these memorable matches being reported in newspaper articles of the day that are in the club's historical archive. In 1895 Kay defeated the then Open Champion, Taylor, who had just retained his prestigious title on the Old Course at St Andrews. The match, over 36 holes, took place on 16 June and although the respective scores were equal, James Kay beat his illustrious opponent by one hole. On 22 September 1900, Kay exacted a similar outcome on Braid, although at that time Braid hadn't yet recorded any of his five Open Championship victories. Vardon was the only member of the Great Triumvirate to actually get the better of James Kay on his home course, when he won 6 and 5 on 8 September 1898. In August 1898 Kay, in an Open Professional tournament ay Earlsferry and Elie links, was second only to Vardon, then Open Champion, beating all other leading professionals including Braid, Taylor, Herd and Kirkaldy. But, eventually around the time of his Leeds Cup win, Kay exacted his revenge on Vardon in an exhibition match at Whitby, defeating Vardon by two holes in a 36-hole exhibition match. Not that these money matches were played in anything but the spirit of friendly rivalry as can be detected by Vardon's comment in his 1905 book "The Complete Golfer" where he tells how advice from his friend James Kay of Seaton Carew helped him win the 1896 Open Championship.

Other notable wins for Kay came against other great names in golf, he played Huddersfield professional Alexander Herd who was described as "one of the finest golfers of his day" defeating him on 30 June 1894 and also with several championships to his name the well known golfer Mungo Park. Against Park, over the 72 holes, Kay was 11 up at home and 8 up away, thereby winning the match by 19 holes and perhaps more importantly the stake money of £20. A professional called Chisholm, whose home club was Redcar, suffered even greater embarrassment when he was defeated by Kay with a score of 25 up and 24 to play in a 72-hole match on his home course.

Given such a remarkable playing record it's not surprising that James Kay was held in great esteem by the club's members, and on 20 July 1911 the Committee agreed to mark the great man's service of 25 years. A total of £23.8s.6d was raised by subscription and a tea and coffee service was presented to him at the club's annual general meeting. Some 14 years later the committee had more serious matters to contemplate, namely Kay's retirement, but the matter was deferred for a further 12 months. On 9 December 1926, after long and serious discussion, it was finally resolved that a change in the professional was necessary. Inquiries were made as to Kay's financial status and it was decided to award him a pension and elect him as an Honorary Member of the club. A gift of £200 was also presented, following another subscription, and Kay's employment came to an end after 41 years.

Kay was himself a notable course designer; the Seaton Carew records show that he was charged with creating four additional holes which were opened on 4 August 1891. The club records of Golf clubs such as Bishop Aukland Golf Club, Middlesbrough Golf Club and Beamish Park Golf Club record Kay's involvement in their design and subsequent works. There are likely to be a number of other clubs which benefited from Kay's advice.

Shortly before his retirement Kay was helping his former assistant to chop up some old railway sleepers, for use as fuel in the clubhouse, when he got a wood splinter in his right thumb. Sadly, he developed blood poisoning, his condition gradually deteriorated and on 17 April 1927 Kay died. His funeral was attended by fellow professionals, Seaton Carew members and staff from the Club acted as pall bearers. The body of this golfing legend was finally laid to rest in Seaton Carew Parish churchyard and he is commemorated in the name of the club's Old Course 8th Hole which is named "Jimmy Kay".

Three Times One-armed Golf Champion – Jack Lithgo (1903-1975)
All Clubs are rightly proud of their Champions, Seaton Carew Golf Club has certainly had its share, unusually though, perhaps the most famous amateur golfer to represent this club was one-armed golfer Jack Lithgo. Lithgo lost his arm after a fall at the age of 6. Lithgo lived close to the club and next door to its professional Jimmy Kay. In the club's history books he recalls how in 1909 he remembered Kay bringing home the Leeds Cup and sitting it proudly on his sideboard. Lithgo was a strong swimmer, good footballer and he could hit a golf ball 275 yards with his driver. In 1966, when he was 63 years old, Lithgo qualified yet again for the match play stage of the One-armed Golfers Championship. This was the 19th successive occasion Lithgo had qualified for the knock out stages and remarkably that year he went on to win the final by defeating, by 3 and 1, the 4-time American One-armed champion R. (Bob) Sandler, to whom he was conceding 13 years.  This was the 5th time Lithgo had reached the final which he also won in 1948 and 1957.

Amateur Championships held at Seaton Carew Golf links

The Brabazon Trophy – The English Men's Strokeplay Championship and The Carris Trophy – The English Boys Championships
Seaton Carew Golf Club is regular host to top amateur golf competitions. Golf England's Brabazon Trophy was held at this Club in 1985 and the winner, Peter Baker, went on to Ryder Cup and European Tour success after sharing this amateur title with the North East's Roger Roper (Roper famously turned professional at the age of 50 in 2007 to compete on the Seniors Professional Tour.) The 2013 US Open Champion Justin Rose talked glowingly about Seaton's undulating links course when in 1996 he came second behind the then amateur now established tour professional Graeme Storm from Hartlepool, in the Carris Trophy (the Boys' equivalent to the Brabazon Trophy). In June 2014 The Brabazon Trophy tournament returned to Seaton Carew and in line with the illustrious outcomes for past winners on this course a bright future is predicted for the winner Ben Stow from Wiltshire. Stow equalled Seaton Carew's  Brabazon Course record on the final day with a "birdie" on the final hole to win the Brabazon Trophy by one shot.

The Gray Trophy - One of the Earliest English Amateur Club Golf Trophies

The Gray Trophy - first match played 2 February 1884.

The History of this Trophy was meticulously researched by Seaton Carew Golf Club Archivist Mr Edward Bunting in 2000. This is one of the earliest amateur golf trophies to be played for in England and was presented to Seaton Carew Golf Club by Major Matthew Gray. Major Gray, whose military career was associated with the operation of Hartlepool's defensive battery  was the son of the Hartlepool shipbuilding magnate Sir William Gray of William Gray & Company. Matthew Gray was a keen golfer and was re-elected President of Seaton Carew Golf Club on 17 November 1883. The minutes of the Club show that in returning his thanks to the members for his re-election it was his intention to present a 20 guinea challenge cup to be played for in stroke play/medal handicap format in the following year by the members. He pronounced that should the cup be won three times outright by any member it would become the absolute property of the gentleman concerned. If no gentleman had won it within 18 months those to have won twice were to play off for the trophy. Between 1884 and 1907 through this magnanimous offer and the continued generosity of the Gray family 8 Gray Trophies were bought and presented by the club. The 8th and last was manufactured by the Goldsmith & Silversmith Company Limited of 110-112 Regent Street London for about £30 and donated by Matthew Gray's widow. Silver trophies manufactured and bought for about £30 in the 1880-1900 period may cost £30,000 to produce in 2014.

The 8th Gray Trophy was given to the club by Mrs Eliza (Jeanie) Gray, Major Gray's widow and is still annually played for today by Seaton Carew Golf Club members. The rules however were changed in 1906, prior to the purchase of this last trophy, such that it would be not be retained by the winning member. In fact the competition rules were also adjusted to such that it would be awarded following 6 annual competitions played in alternate months each year and the winner was to be the member who won most competitions. If no member won more than once then a play off between winners would occur. These rules were also later changed to the 4 competitions per annum and continue in the same way today.

Matthew Gray was himself a winner one of the first 9 "Gray" competitions held for the Trophy between February 1884 and May 1885 and a Trophy runner-up on at least one other occasions. Winning a competition during the "first Gray" he returned a score of 176 minus his handicap of 32, resulting in a score of 144 for his two rounds. But following the 9 competitions a contemporaneous press report states that "a beautiful challenge cup" was presented to Mr R.T. Thompson at an inaugural dinner in the Seaton Hotel. As it happens the runner up for this first trophy was the club's founder Dr Duncan McCuaig.  Major Matthew Gray was "occupying the chair" at the presentation dinner. Hence Mr Thompson became the owner of the 1st Gray Trophy.

Gray Trophy Winners

1st Gray Trophy
The whereabouts of this trophy is unknown
February 1884 – May 1885  winner R T Thompson (runner up Dr McCuaig)

2nd Gray Trophy
Described as "a Silver Claret Jug" The whereabouts of this trophy is also unknown.

August 1885 - February 1887 winner P. Wood Headmaster of Darlington Grammar School 1888/90 (runner up again was Dr McCuaig)

3rd Gray Trophy
The 3rd Gray Trophy is described in the Golfing Annual of 1888-89 as "a chaste and elegant piece of silver plate" this being the third prize donated by club President Major Matthew Gray. The whereabouts of this trophy is also unknown.

March 1887- November 1888 winner J.B. Dale – (Runner up was Matthew Gray)

During 1890 there seems to have been no Gray Trophy competitions until in January 1890 the President Major Gray announced he was  pleased to "renew his offer to present the club with a trophy" choosing "an exceedingly beautiful silver cup, tastefully engraved with ferns and flowers". It was to be four and a half years before a member had won the 3 competitions required to take the trophy.

4th Gray Trophy
Press reports show that on 6 June 1991 Major Gray has returned from a tour of the World and there was a "capital turn out of members to welcome home a worthy President" who competed on a day when "the weather was everything that could be desired for a sporting game for the Gray Trophy". Mr L.K.Fawcett won on the day and the new Trophy is described in the press as a "Handsome Prize" but it would be another 3 years before the Trophy was again won outright. The whereabouts of this trophy is unknown.

February 1890 - August 1894 winner Reverend R.P.A Swettenham

An interesting golfing historical note is that Mr Swettenham played at Seaton Carew under an assumed name of  "P.A. Raps". Although Mr Swettenham's full name appears in the Clubs records P.A.Raps was to appear in the press announcements of the Clubs activities and the public display boards in the Club House. It seems some golfers at that time did not want their employers, customers, parishioners, patients, clients and perhaps even family members to know they were playing golf. Even though competitions were normally held on a Saturday. Sunday golf only began at Seaton Carew after the First World War so this was not even an attempt to disguise Mr Swettenham's absence from Church. The club's records show that several Seaton Carew Golf Club members used such acronyms an this was probably common place at other clubs at that time.

5th  Gray Trophy
2 Trophies were presented to the club by Matthew Gray in August 1893 because he was to be absent again while doing a tour of the world.  However, tragically, Major Gray was to die before anyone had won the 5th Trophy. 33 competitions were played before the 5th Gray Trophy was won and by then a total of 11 players had won two competitions.

October 1884 – February 1900 winner G. Pyman (Son of the Pyman Ship-owning Magnates)Mr Pyman was a "scratch" player from which the other members of the club had their handicaps calculated by the Club Committee. Pyman won his third Gray competition, thereby taking the Trophy outright, on a February day that would be recognisable by all Seaton Carew members through the years, it was described in the press as "very cold with a strong NE wind blowing".

Following Mr Pyman's death this the 5th Gray Trophy which is solid silver was donated to Harrogate Golf Club (Starbeck) by his son Noel Pyman when he was elected captain of that club. This is currently known as the "Pyman Cup - The Seaton Carew Trophy" and is competed for during that club's annual winter foursomes.

6th Gray Trophy
Again by chance 33 competitions were to be played before the 6th Gray Trophy winner emerged.

April 1900 – June 1905 winner F.W. Dickinson (Under Manager Barclays Bank, West Hartlepool.)

The 6th Gray Trophy was still owned by Mr Dickinson 50 years later and it was described in a letter dated 22 December 1953 to the then Club Archivist Mr G. Bunting as having "a ball design with clubs as part of the handles, with a figure of a Golfer on top". Mr Dickinson records that he lost his only son in the War and the Trophy may need a home in future years. The whereabouts of this trophy is unknown.

7th Gray Trophy
The 7th Gray Trophy was donated by William Cresswell Gray (later Baronet Gray) the younger brother of Matthew and himself a member of the club for several years. William had inherited his fathers fortune of £1.5m in 1898 (worth about £100m today). Golf Club records show William was not as "keen" a golfer as his brother but played at Seaton Carew. William had many business interests including shipbuilding and a large department store called "Gray Peverell" that was to become the department store known well known across the UK during the 20th century as "Binns". This trophy was won after only 7 competitions.

August 1905 – August 1906 winner T.H. Peverell

The widow of Mr Peverell later donated the 7th Gray Trophy back to the Golf Club in 1953 and it is now presented annually to the Seaton Carew Golf Club Champion.

8th Gray Trophy

The 8th Gray Trophy, is the trophy still played for today and won annually but not retained by the winning Golfer. It was donated by Ms Eliza Gray (also known as Jeanie) and engraved as being donated by Mrs Matthew Gray in 1907. This was Matthew Gray's widow and she took a very active part in choosing the design of the trophy, manufactured Goldsmith & Silversmith Company Limited of London. A note in her hand writing, amongst that of the silversmith's correspondence, is in the club's archives and states "I like (designs) No. 3 or 4, being a Golf Trophy, I rather think I like the figure, but I am not particular! I do not like the Golf Ball." .

The golf ball comment by Mrs Gray seems to be a reflection of one of the trophy designs presented to her and not any dislike of the game. Mrs Gray on many occasions during her husband's lifetime was present and contributed to the club's social functions. This is mentioned in a number of associated press cuttings from that time, she attended alongside many of the wives of the Club members. These  records how she and the other ladies "graced" those social and sporting events. Eventually a more classical design was finally agreed for the elegant 8th Gray Trophy that is still very much prized by the members of Seaton Carew Golf Club.

Mrs Matthew Gray Local Benefactor

Eliza Gray, like her husband became a considerable local benefactor. In 1914 she made a £500 donation towards the raising of a battalion of the Durham Light Infantry which became known as "The Durham Pals". Mrs Gray died in 1917 at the home that Matthew had purchased for them just before he died suddenly in 1896, The Willows, Clarence Road, Hartlepool. Matthew and Eliza were childless and The Willows was soon after donated to the town of Hartlepool as a museum by Sir William Cresswell Gray, Matthew's brother. This was a gesture of thanksgiving for the safe return of his own son William (1895-1978) from the First World War. The Museum was opened to the public in 1920. The Museum of Hartlepool has since moved to purpose built facilities and The Willows is now an art gallery operated by Hartlepool Borough Council.The publicly owned facility has been renamed Sir William Gray House.

The Sudden Death of Matthew Gray
Matthew Gray was born in Hartlepool in 1855 and worked through several technical and business departments at his father's, Sir William Gray's, shipyards and gaining distinctions in his "Oxford & Cambridge examinations". Eventually he became a partner in his father's Hartlepool based shipbuilding business William Gray & Company. Matthew Gray's later business interests specialised in the manufacture of steel plate which complimented his family's ship building interests. In August 1889, for example, he is recorded as being on board during the maiden voyage and sea trials of the S.S. Empress  Considerable built by William Gray & Co. Gray also took a keen interest in politics and as staunch Liberal delivered many speeches in support of that political party during the General Election the year before his death. These speeches were reported as :marked by great vigour" and showed that he had "a somewhat wide grasp of the political problems of the day". His obituary in the Northern Daily Mail notes that "Mr Gray's liberality to the work-people and those dependent on them will long be remembered. And withal it was characterised with the utmost un-ostentation. Mr Gray was always willing to support by his presence and purse every good effort – whether social, religious or athletic. He was President of the Seaton Carew Golf Club from its commencement, and as our readers will know has long presented a challenge trophy which has been played for regularly". On occasions the Seaton Carew Golf Club was short of funds but its records show that its first President Gray was a considerable benefactor. Especially so during the building of the club house in 1893. In 1886 the club was in the red to the tune of £11 10 shillings and 6 pence but Gray quietly donated a cheque for that sum. Matthew Gray contracted pneumonia after a short illness and died suddenly on 16 June 1896 and pursuant with the property amendment act of 1859 his death was formally announced in the London Gazette on 20 November that year. Major Matthew Gray's funeral took place on 19 June 1896 and is reported to have taken place in the presence of thousands of people.
