club at Wheaton Ill, at the same time. Professionally, Treacy has been
connected with the Wheaton Golf club In 1911, 1912 and 1913, was not attached

[picture] Doc Treacy. W. R. Treacy, who has become known to
golfers of Highland and the Country Club as Doc Treacy, will be professional
and head instructor at the Anderson Country Club this coming year. Doc
originally came north from Texas and began his career as instructor under
Arthur Clarkson in Chicago. When Clarkson became professional at Highland he
brought Treacy with him to Indianapolis. Later Treacy became an assistant to
Lee Nelson at the Country Club and this winter is aiding Nelson in work at
the indoor golf school in the L S. Ayres & Co. building. Treacy is recognized as one of the best instructors
who ever taught golf in Indianapolis. Although unusually quiet In his
methods, this young Instructor is said to be able to “spot” the most minute
fault In the game of even champion golfers and is able to correct that fault
with the greatest possible ease. In 1929 he was runner up in the Wisconsin PGA Stroke
Play Championship March 1, 1938 Des Moines Register (Iowa) Treacy, 42, Former P.G.A. Official, Dies GRAND
RAPIDS. MICH - Raymond W. ("Doc") Treacy, 42, professional at the
Kent Country club and secretary of the National Professional Golfers
association March 1938 Golfdom R. W. Treacy, PGA ex-Official, Dies Following
Operation R. W. (DOC) TREACY , gen. mgr. of the Kent CC., Grand Rapids, Mich., died at
the Blodgett Memorial hospital, Grand Rapids, Feb. 28, of complications
following an appendicitis operation performed on Feb. 22. Treacy was 42 years old. He was born at Aurora,
Ill., and entered golf as a caddie at the Chicago GC, Wheaton, Ill. He served
successively as pro at Indiana, Texas, Illinois and Wisconsin clubs prior to
joining the Kent organization two years ago. He is survived by his widow, a
son, his mother and a brother; the latter two residents of Texas. Doc was one of the best known non-tournament pros.
He was president of the Wisconsin PGA for several terms and served some years
as secretary, vice pres. and member of the executive committee of the
national pro association. During the last two years he had not played much
competitive golf, although he retained an excellent game. He was a fine
instructor, and as his Kent job of being pro, greenkeeper and house manager
indicates, was a thorough and able golf businessman. Pro golf has been benefitted greatly by Treacy's services.
He was a fellow of keen, sound judgment, high courage and a philosophical
sense of humor. His character commanded the respect of the thousands of
amateurs and pros with whom he had come in contact. To his family goes the deep sympathy of the many who
considered Doc Treacy one of the finest of friends |
