Marcel Dallemagne: Saint Germain’s Touring-pro who taught at the club for many years. He won the French Championship six times as well as the Belgium, Italian, Swiss and Dutch Opens.

He won the French Open three times in 1936, 1937 and 1938. One of these years in a play-off against Henry Cotton by one point with a score of 69. In those days play-off were played on 18 holes. One of the great golfers of the 20s and 30s, he died in 1994 aged 96.
