1955–56 United States network television schedule | The 1955 -- 56 United States network television schedule was for the period that began in September 1955 and ran through March 1956 . The $ 64,000 Question had debuted on CBS during summer 1955 and became the # 1 program on U.S. television . The three networks `` rushed to copy this latest hit format , quickly filling prime time with similar contests '' . ( It would not be until fall 1958 that it would be confirmed that several of these new quiz shows were rigged . ) For years , ABC had `` struggled to cobble together a TV schedule '' , but following the network 's major success with Disney-produced series Disneyland in 1954 , other Hollywood film companies began embracing television . MGM assembled clips for MGM Parade on ABC ; ABC also hired Warner Bros. for a Tuesday night program called Warner Brothers Presents . The hour-long umbrella series featured TV adaptations of three Warner Brothers movies : Cheyenne , Casablanca , and Kings Row . Of the three new series , only Cheyenne was a hit with viewers , and ABC began contracting with other Hollywood studios for Westerns . Immediately following Warner Brothers Presents , ABC scheduled The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp . This Western was also produced in conjunction with a Hollywood studio : Desilu Productions . CBS had its own Western hit with Gunsmoke , which also debuted in fall 1955 . Over the next few years , `` the rush to Westerns had become a virtual stampede so that , by the fall of 1959 , viewers had their choice from a staggering twenty-eight different Western-based prime time series . '' Around 1955 , live drama anthologies , the staple of early television programming , were being phased out by the networks in favor of filmed fare : Westerns , police dramas , quiz shows , and adventure series . The struggling DuMont Television Network offered little during the 1955 -- 56 television season . DuMont 's final program line-up consisted of What 's the Story on Wednesday nights at 9:30 and Boxing From St. Nicholas Arena on Monday nights at 9:00 . By September 23 , What 's the Story was off the air . DuMont honored its few remaining network commitments until August 6 , 1956 , when it ceased operations as a major television network . DuMont hoped to go into independent television production ; the company 's studio facilities and Electronicam system were used to produce CBS 's The Honeymooners during the 1955 -- 1956 season . DuMont 's loss was ABC 's gain , as some of DuMont 's most popular programs , including Life Is Worth Living , Chance of a Lifetime , Life Begins at Eighty , and Down You Go , found their way onto ABC 's 1955 -- 1956 prime time schedule . The crumbling and eventual death of the old DuMont Network meant the 1955 -- 1956 television season would be the first year in which the three major remaining U.S. television networks would be the only full-time commercial participants in prime time , a situation that was to remain for the next 30 years until Fox began network operations in October 1986 , although Fox would not enter prime time until Sunday , April 5 , 1987 . |

1960 Open Championship | The 1960 Open Championship was the 89th Open Championship , played 6 -- 9 July at the Old Course in St Andrews , Scotland . In the centenary year of the Open Championship , Kel Nagle prevailed over Arnold Palmer by a single stroke ; this year marked the championship 's re-emergence as a major stop for American players . The total prize money was increased by forty percent , from # 5,000 to # 7,000 . The winner 's share was increased to # 1,250 with # 900 for second , # 700 for third , # 500 for fourth , # 400 for fifth , # 300 for sixth , # 250 for seventh , # 200 for eighth , # 150 for ninth , and # 130 for tenth . The next fifteen places each received # 60 with # 50 for next seven and then # 40 for the next eighteen . The # 50 prize for winning the qualification event was unchanged while the four prizes for the lowest score in each round were was increased to # 50 . For the centenary event there was a special prize for the winner in the form of a replica of the claret jug . Qualifying took place on 4 -- 5 July , Monday and Tuesday , with 18 holes on the Old Course and 18 holes on the New Course . A maximum of 100 players could qualify . Gary Player led the qualifiers as medalist at 135 , and the qualifying score was 147 and 74 players qualified ; 28 players on 148 were not included . Dick Metz , who had won the World Senior Golf Championship at Gleneagles on 3 July , was one of those on 148 who just failed to qualify . Roberto De Vicenzo opened the tournament proper with consecutive rounds of 67 on Wednesday and Thursday to take a two-stroke lead over Nagle . In the third round , De Vicenzo 's drive on the 14th ended up on top of a wall and he finished the round with a score of 75 , allowing Nagle to take a two-shot lead . Palmer , who had won the U.S. Open three weeks earlier by erasing a seven-shot deficit in the final round , was four back after 54-holes . The final round on Friday afternoon was delayed until Saturday due to a heavy rainfall that flooded portions of the course ; the first postponement in over fifty years . When play resumed the next day , Palmer and Nagle both went out in 34 . Still four-strokes behind , Palmer began another charge on the back . He made up strokes on the 13th and 15th , made a 4 on the 17th , then made birdie at the last . Nagle was standing over a crucial par putt on the Road Hole 17th when he heard the roar signifying Palmer 's birdie at 18 . He managed to collect himself and hole the putt , then made a safe 4 at the last to win the title by a single shot over Palmer . Already 39 at the time of his victory , this was Nagle 's first top ten finish in a major championship . Although little-known outside of Australia at the time of the tournament , he went on to have success throughout the next decade and came close to winning another major at the 1965 U.S. Open , losing to Gary Player in an 18-hole playoff . Palmer had won the first two majors at the Masters and U.S. Open , and was attempting to equal Ben Hogan 's 1953 season with a third consecutive major . His appearance established the British Open as an important tournament for American golfers and , although Palmer himself skipped the tournament a few times afterward , the best American players began crossing the Atlantic with regularity from then on . Palmer won the next two Opens in 1961 and 1962 . The appearance of Palmer , already the most popular golfer in the world , proved to be a turning point for the Open Championship . Until the 1960s , few Americans made the trip to the Open Championship , with the lengthy ocean-voyage and high costs of traveling to Britain often more than they stood to win in the tournament . Even Palmer , winner of the first two majors of the year , had to play in the 36-hole qualifier immediately preceding it . The 1960 event included only four Americans following the qualifier , and only two made the cut . Ten years later , 24 Americans were in the field of 134 . For many years , the event often conflicted with the PGA Championship in the U.S. , a more lucrative major which gradually moved to late July and then August . |
