I think all anyone could do is use search engines, which I imagine you've already done.

Maybe a library in France has some microfilm of the papers from back then…?

Thanks for your answers

I started with the french federation, but they have nothing at all about these events.

I used old newspapers through "archives internet sites", it was enough after 1919, but iI have found notihng before 1914.

At this time golf was not very popular in France.

The French International Amateur Championship was palyed mainly by british players, it is the reasonwhile, it is possible to find results in british newspapers. It is the way used by "french historian of golf". But it is difficult for me to fond alone this information, it is the reasonwhile I need your help.

I Have already found the winners and runner up, see below

1904

La Boulie

H-G Beeche

9 et 7

J. Owerbury

1905

La Boulie

A. H Grosfield

7 et 5

1906

La Boulie

1907

La Boulie

9 et 7

R. G Graham

1908

Looks like matchplay, but an '11 et 10' is an unlikely score...:-\

Not when you play 36 holes.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
