The Burton family lived next to the Darwen Golf Club before moving to Lynwood Avenue. Richard was the youngest, but tallest, of three boys and with his brothers, Tom and <a href="/wiki/John_Burton_(golfer)" title="John Burton (golfer)">John</a>, used to watch members playing past their farm which was just above the clubhouse. As they had no golf equipment themselves, they had to make do with hitting bobbins from their mother's workbasket around the farm with an old walking stick. Eventually the brothers were given a few old hickory shafted clubs. Burton had started out as a caddie at Darwen Golf Club before applying for the position of greensman. After a number of years, in 1929, he then replaced his brother John as the club professional when John moved to the Hillside Club in Southport. Three years later, in 1932, Burton was appointed the professional at Hooton Golf Club, which is now known as Ellesmere Port Golf Club, which gave him more opportunity to play competitive golf. Also around this time Burton's remaining brother, Tom, was appointed the club professional at Darwen to complete a unique trio for the Burton family. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Career">Career</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Dick_Burton_(golfer)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Career"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 1934, Burton won the <a href="/wiki/Northern_Professional_Championship" title="Northern Professional Championship">Northern Professional Championship</a>, the first of many titles, the following year he collected the <a href="/wiki/Dunlop-Northern_Tournament" class="mw-redirect" title="Dunlop-Northern Tournament">Dunlop-Northern Tournament</a> and made his first appearance in the Ryder Cup for Great Britain. He was also runner-up in the <a href="/wiki/Dunlop-Southport_Tournament" title="Dunlop-Southport Tournament">Dunlop-Southport Tournament</a>, semi-finalist in the <a href="/wiki/News_of_the_World_Match_Play" class="mw-redirect" title="News of the World Match Play">News of the World Match Play</a> and third in the Scottish Penfold Tournament. In 1936, Burton added the <a href="/wiki/Yorkshire_Evening_News_Tournament" title="Yorkshire Evening News Tournament">Yorkshire Evening News Tournament</a> at Leeds Golf Club to his list of titles and he was runner-up in the Dunlop-Southport Tournament again but made the England team to play the <a href="/wiki/England%E2%80%93Scotland_Professional_Match" title="England–Scotland Professional Match">annual match</a> against Scotland, the first of three consecutive appearances. 1937 saw Burton win the Dunlop-Southport Tournament and he also appeared in the Coronation Match for King George VI. He appeared in the Ryder Cup again and was appointed the professional at Sale Golf Club on the Manchester Cheshire border and was the club professional until 1946. The following years brought more success, winning Manchester and District Professional Championship, being selected for the England team to play Ireland & Wales and finishing joint 4th in the <a href="/wiki/1938_Open_Championship" title="1938 Open Championship">1938 Open Championship</a>, held at Royal St George's in Kent, eight shots behind <a href="/wiki/Reg_Whitcombe" title="Reg Whitcombe">Reg Whitcombe</a>. </p><p>At the <a href="/wiki/1939_Open_Championship" title="1939 Open Championship">1939 Open Championship</a> at the <a href="/wiki/Old_Course_at_St_Andrews" title="Old Course at St Andrews">Old Course at St Andrews</a>, his first three rounds of 70, 72 and 77 put in him contention. Burton started his fourth round already knowing that he needed to score 72 or better to win the title as his rivals had completed their rounds. He did not start well as he 3-putted at the first hole but he recovered and carded two birdies in the last three holes on the front nine to go out in 35 and leave him in a great position. On the second part of the course, Burton played cautiously at the treacherous 14th for a five and avoided the sandtraps on the 17th. He came to the last needing a four to win and hit a huge drive, then pitched to 15 feet. His putt looked like it might race past the hole but as Burton walked after it, it dropped in the hole for a closing birdie. A 71 left him on 290 to win by two shots from <a href="/wiki/Johnny_Bulla" title="Johnny Bulla">Johnny Bulla</a>. Burton was the sixth British winner in a row since <a href="/wiki/Denny_Shute" title="Denny Shute">Denny Shute</a> had won the last Open at St Andrews in 1933. </p><p>In 1939, apart from his Open triumph, Burton also won the <a href="/wiki/True_Temper_Foursomes_Tournament" title="True Temper Foursomes Tournament">True Temper Foursomes Tournament</a>, partnering <a href="/wiki/Fred_Robson" title="Fred Robson">Fred Robson</a> and lost in a playoff to <a href="/wiki/Alf_Padgham" title="Alf Padgham">Alf Padgham</a> for the <a href="/wiki/Silver_King_Tournament" title="Silver King Tournament">Silver King Tournament</a>. </p><p>He won the <a href="/wiki/News_Chronicle_Tournament" title="News Chronicle Tournament">News Chronicle Tournament</a>, at Hollingbury Park Golf Club, in 1949 with a record aggregate for 72 holes, at the time, with 266 strokes. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Personal_life">Personal life</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Dick_Burton_(golfer)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Personal life"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Burton's only book, named <i>Length with Discretion</i>, was published in 1939, shortly after his Open triumph, through Hutchinson & Co Publishers. It was a golf instruction in 13 chapters with illustrations.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, a few weeks after his Open triumph, Burton was serving in the RAF and never really had the opportunity to capitalise on his success. The fairways at the Old Course at St Andrews ended up being used by the RAF as runways. When asked, later in life, if he regretted not being able to capitalise on the Open Championship win he replied "I was lucky enough…a lot of those who watched me at St Andrews also went off to war and they never came back. Some of my friends didn’t make it either, I did." Burton also helped the war effort by raising money for the <a href="/wiki/Red_Cross" class="mw-redirect" title="Red Cross">Red Cross</a> by playing charity matches with <a href="/wiki/Henry_Cotton_(golfer)" title="Henry Cotton (golfer)">Henry Cotton</a>, who was also serving in the RAF. </p><p>In the spring of 1946, he wrote to the <a href="/wiki/The_Royal_and_Ancient_Golf_Club_of_St_Andrews" title="The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews">Royal and Ancient</a>, "Dear Sirs, Please find enclosed my fee of five <a href="/wiki/Guinea_(British_coin)" class="mw-redirect" title="Guinea (British coin)">guineas</a> for this year's Open. I will bring the trophy back when I come." </p><p>Burton is still celebrated at Sale Golf Club. Every year the club holds the Richard Burton Trophy on the weekend of the Open Championship, and have a display including the <a href="/wiki/Putter" title="Putter">putter</a> he used to win the Open. In later life, he was the club professional at Coombe Hill Golf Club in <a href="/wiki/Kingston,_Surrey" class="mw-redirect" title="Kingston, Surrey">Kingston, Surrey</a>. His assistant there was <a href="/wiki/Neil_Coles" title="Neil Coles">Neil Coles</a>. Burton once bet a rival that he could beat him using only a putter. He lost his bet, but only on the 18th hole. </p><p>When Burton played <a href="/wiki/Four-ball_golf" title="Four-ball golf">fourball</a> with other members, rather than pair up with a member, he would play against all three, and give full <a href="/wiki/Handicap_(golf)" title="Handicap (golf)">handicaps</a>.
