Fielding Wallace
American golf lost one of its best friends when Fielding Wallace of Augusta, Ga., died in 1954. For more than 50 years, Mr. Wallace had been a leader in the game. He was involved in the organization of the Georgia State Golf Association in 1924 and served as president from 1936 to 1945. He served as president of the United States Golf Association in 1948 and 1949. He was a founding member of the Augusta National Golf Club and served as secretary until his death. He was president of the Augusta Country Club from 1921 to 1935. Mr. Wallace was a gentleman who exemplified the old maxim that "the first quality of a gentleman is gentleness."

Fielding Wallace was inducted into the Georgia Golf Hall of Fame on January 4, 1992.
