Maxwell Rolston Marston (June 12, 1892 – May 7, 1949)[1] was an American amateur golfer. He worked as an investment banker in Philadelphia.[1] He was a member of the Cranford Golf Club in Cranford, New Jersey and lived on Central Avenue in the town.[2]
In the 1923 U.S. Amateur at Flossmoor Country Club,[3] Marston defeated three former or future Amateur champions: Bobby Jones (1924, 1925, 1927, 1928, 1930), Francis Ouimet (1931), and Jess Sweetser (1922) in the final (38th hole).[1][4][5] He reached the final again in 1933, losing to George Dunlap, 6 and 5.[6] Marston, who took lessons from James Maiden,[7] also won the New Jersey Amateur twice[8] and the Pennsylvania Amateur three times.[9]
Marston played on the first three Walker Cup teams and again in 1934.[1]
He is the namesake of the annual Marston Cup, a tournament for golfers 55 and older run by the Golf Association of Philadelphia.
