Title	James Rhodes Golfing Photograph
Subject	Ohio Government Sports Governors Rhodes, James A. (James Allen), 1909-2001, Golf Golfers
Place	Columbus (Ohio) Franklin County (Ohio)
Description	Two photographs show Ohio Governor James Rhodes at the 1970 Columbus Pro-Am Golf Spectacular held at Brookside Country Club. The event benefited Dispatch Charities and Children's Hospital. Participants included Jack Nicklaus, Doug Sanders and Bobby Cole. Nicklaus presented the L. Charles Nicklaus Memorial Trophy to amateurs Carl Mengali and Bob Hoag, who each scored two-under-par 70. The photographs measure 2" x 2" (5.08 x 5.08 cm). James Rhodes (1909-2001) served four terms as governor of Ohio, more than any other Ohio governor. Rhodes was born in Coalton, Ohio, and his father, a Welsh coal miner, died when he was eight years old. Rhodes attended Ohio State University, but had to drop out to support his mother and sisters. In 1937, Rhodes was elected to the Columbus board of education. He served two terms as auditor before being elected mayor of Columbus in 1943. Rhodes served as auditor of state from 1952 to 1962 and ran for governor twice before being elected in 1962. In May 1970, Rhodes ordered National Guard troops to the Kent State University campus, resulting in the tragic shootings of four students after days of anti-Vietnam War protests. During his four terms as governor, Rhodes advocated for more funding for universities and was responsible for the development of dozens of new parks, highways, and airports.
