Lakes Open
The Lakes Open was a golf tournament played at The Lakes Golf Club in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia between 1934 and 1974.
History
The inaugural event was organised in connection with the visit of a group of American professionals who had earlier played in the Lakes International Cup.It was held annually until World War II with Jim Ferrier and Norman [Von Nida] both winning twice. It did not restart until 1947 and was held annually until 1967, except for 1965. The event was revived in 1974 as the Coca-Cola Lakes Open. Ferrier won for the third time in 1948, a feat later matched by Eric Cremin, Kel Nagle and Frank Phillips.
