[Quoted from the Times]:
“Gadd is of average height, but is so thick set that he looks short
and almost Basque like --- He has a marked check for ‘readjustment’
at the top of his backswing --- he hits a very long ball”, Bernard
Darwin, 1922
“Gadd’s natural configuration causes him, I suppose, to take the
club up by one road and bring it down by another, but he brings it
down on the ball very hard and very accurately and is beyond doubt a
good golfer”, Bernard Darwin, 1924
[Quoted from Golf World in 100 Years of Golf at Powfoot, with thanks
to the club]
“George Gadd, well known pro of the twenties, declared that he never
played really good golf when not sucking humbugs”, George Houghton,
1975
