Alfred Ricketts

Alfred H. Ricketts (born February 1870) was an English professional golfer who played in the late 19th and early 20th century.

In 1888, Ricketts emigrated from England to the United States and took a job as a golf instructor at the Country Club of Rochester in Rochester, New York, where he instructed Rochester-born Walter Hagen[1] and others on the finer points of golf.

[2][3] In 1900 he married Nettie Brooks and born to them was a son, Albert G. Ricketts, circa 1902.

Ricketts tied for sixth place, with Bernard Nicholls, in the 1897 U.S. Open, held at Chicago Golf Club in Wheaton, Illinois.

In 1930, likely as a result of the Great Depression, he was no longer in the golf business but rather was working as a packer and stamper in a metal fabrication factory.
