Nathaniel Patrick Crosby (born October 29, 1961) is an American golfer. He won the 1981 U.S. Amateur and played on the winning 1982 Eisenhower Trophy and 1983 Walker Cup teams. He turned professional but had little success and was later reinstated as an amateur. He is the seventh child and sixth son of Bing Crosby.

Early life[edit]

Crosby was born and raised in Hillsborough, California.^[1] He was the third and final child between Bing Crosby and actressKathryn Grant. (Crosby also had four children from his first marriage.)^[2] Although his father was a showbiz celebrity he was, in Nathaniel's words, 'determined that we didn't grow up to be Hollywood brats.'^[3] The family lived hundreds of miles from Los Angeles, in northern California, and Bing instilled a strong work ethic in his children. In the summer Nathaniel and his siblings worked sunup 'til sundown baling alfalfa and vaccinating cattle on the family ranch. Crosby stated later in life in his memoir 18 Holes with Bing, 'I always longed for summer to end so I could go back to school.'^[3] He had a cool relationship with his father and got into golf as a way to connect with his dad (who was a golf fanatic). Crosby states, “I learned golf so that I could spend more time with him.'^[3] Crosby largely learned golf from the family's Irish nanny, Bridget. Bridget was also a pro golfer.^[2] Crosby won the club championship at the family's country club, Burlingame Country Club, at the age of 15. His father stated after the victory, 'Today is the happiest day of my life.'^[2] Crosby attended Burlingame High School and was on the golf team.^[1]

The hall is one of the many non-profit bingo halls operating for charity. It offers a variety of bingo games for every kind of player (novice and experienced) and is associated with prestigious charity organizations such as Greater Killeen Community Clinic, Holy Family Catholic Church, Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Texas and other such establishments. Redman Bingo Hall. This is an elite bingo hall in Killeen, TX that. Nathaniel Patrick Crosby (born October 29, 1961) is an American golfer.He won the 1981 U.S. Amateur and played on the winning 1982 Eisenhower Trophy and 1983 Walker Cup teams. Mayor Forster called the regularly scheduled council meeting for the Town of Esterhazy to order at 6:30 P.M. On January 27, 2021, with all members present and accounted for. The council reviewed the agenda before Councillor Nickell made a motion to accept the agenda; motion carried. Moving on, the council reviewed the minutes of the January 13, 2021, regular meeting before Councillor Rowland.

Crosby performed with his father, mother, brother, and sister in several Christmas television shows and at the London Palladium in 1976. He starred along with the rest of his family in the 1970 television musical Goldilocks. Crosby stated that he was embarrassed to perform in the Christmas specials as he was not a natural performer.^[3]

Golf career[edit]

Crosby attended the University of Miami and played for the golf team.^[2] During college he qualified for the 1981 U.S. Amateur held at The Olympic Club in San Francisco, not far from where he grew up. He shockingly won the event; at the age of 19 he was the 3rd youngest winner ever.^[4] In addition to this youth, Crosby was not considered a uniquely talented amateur golfer. The legendary golf writer Herbert Warren Wind wrote in The New Yorker, 'His swing was so unimpressive that most observers felt there had to be at least a thousand better amateur golfers in the country.'^[2] He was usually not even the top golfer on his college's golf team, occasionally ranking 3rd- or 4th-best.^[2] Crosby defeated future PGA Tour pro Willie Wood in the semifinal and then 24-year-old engineer Brian Lindley in the final.^[2] The win qualified him for the 1982 U.S. Open, again held at another local northern California course, Pebble Beach. Crosby shot an opening round 77 and then quadrupled-bogeyed the par-5 14th hole on Friday putting him in danger of missing the cut. However, he shot −1 for the rest of the round to make the cut by two.^[2] He would shoot 76-77 on the weekend to finish at 303 (+15) and in solo 59th place. He was low amateur, besting future PGA Tour pro Corey Pavin by a shot. Also in 1982 Crosby won the Porter Cup, an elite medal-play event for amateurs. Most recent champions of the event – like Ben Crenshaw, John Cook, and Scott Simpson – had gone on to win on the PGA Tour, so the victory certainly boded well for Crosby. He also played on the victorious 1982 Eisenhower Trophy and 1983 Walker Cup teams.

After graduating from college, Crosby turned professional in 1984.^[2] He failed to gain a place on the PGA Tour. In the 1980s the PGA Tour did not have a developmental tour so many young golfers in Crosby's situation played overseas. Crosby decided to play in Europe, qualifying for the European Tour before the 1985 season. He played full-time in Europe from 1985 to 1987.^[1] His best year was in 1985. He recorded a third place finish at the Portuguese Open, his only top-10 of the season. He would finish 87th on the Order of Merit and kept his card. The 1986 season was more of a struggle as he did not record any top-10s and missed the majority of cuts. He finished 115th on the Order of Merit and barely kept his card.^[5] In addition, he played five events on the PGA Tour that season, playing on sponsor's exemptions, but missed the cut in all of them.^[6] The 1987 season was Crosby's final season in Europe. He missed the cut in 14 of his 18 events and finished 158th on the Order of Merit, not keeping his card. His good play at the 1985 Portuguese Open would turn out to be the only top-10 of his European Tour career.^[5]

Crosby would quickly retire as a touring professional but would work as a golf industry executive for the remainder of his career. In 1988 he became president of the Tony Penna Golf Company,^[2] an equipment manufacturer, where he worked for 10 years.^[1] He then worked at Orlimar for 4 years,^[1] working as an executive at direct marketing.^[2] Since his experience at Orlimar he formed his own company to pursue high-end real estate and golf developments.^[1] He is also currently trying to market his dad's name more, whose 'brand' he feels is neglected compared to other stars of the era.^[2]

Crosby has intermittently been involved in notable golf events since his retirement as a full-time touring professional. He regained his amateur status in 1994, initially in order to play in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, the tournament founded by his father.^[7] In 2007 he played in the Porter Cup, the site of one of his greatest triumphs as a junior golfer. He did not do well this time though, finishing in last place by five shots.^[8] He also attempted to qualify for the 2007 U.S Amateur. The event was held at San Francisco's Olympic Club for the first time since his 1981 victory.^[1] Crosby captained the 2019 Walker Cup team^[9] which defeated the Great Britain & Ireland team 15.5–10.5. He will return as captain in 2021.^[10]

Crosby was inducted into the University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame in 2005.

Crosby lives in North Palm Beach, Florida. He has been married twice. He has four children with his first wife. He is now married to Sheila and has two step-children with her.^[2]

Lynas Corporation, Ltd. is an Australian rare-earths mining company, listed on the Australian Securities Exchange as a S&P/ASX 200 company.^[1] It has two major operations: a mining and concentration plant at Mount Weld, Western Australia, and a refining facility at Kuantan, Malaysia.^[2]

History[edit]

The company was founded in 1983 as Yilgangi Gold NL. The company took on the Lynas name in 1985.^[3] It became publicly listed in 1986 on the ASX. In 2001, it sold off its gold division and focused on rare earths.^[3]

Lynas was founded by Nicholas Curtis, a former executive director at Macquarie Group Ltd.^[4]

Mount Weld[edit]

Mount Weld contains one of the largest and highest grade known deposits of rare earths. The deposit is additionally unusual because it contains very low levels of thorium, a radioactive contaminant commonly found together with rare-earth elements. The combination of large resource, high grades and low thorium contamination make it a particularly attractive commercial proposition. The ore produced at Mount Weld is concentrated onsite and is intended to then be shipped to the Lynas Advanced Materials Plant (LAMP) in Malaysia for refining.

In May 2009 Lynas was offered funding of $252 million by the Chinese state-owned China Non-Ferrous Metal Mining (Group) Co., which would have taken a 51.6% stake in the company. However the deal was scrapped by Australia's Foreign Investment Review Board on concern it would threaten supply to non-Chinese buyers. Lynas later raised $450 million in a share sale.^[5]

In November 2010, it signed an agreement with the Japanese rare-earths trading company Sojitz to export €450 million Euros worth of rare-earth minerals from its mine in Mount Weld.^[6]

First shipments of concentrate to Malaysia have reached the LAMP late November 2012.

Crown deposit[edit]

In April 2011, Lynas was attempting to sell its Crown polymetallic deposit (which is particularly prospective for niobium) at Mount Weld to Forge Resources. Forge, a company listed on the ASX, also shares the one and only common Director and CEO of Lynas, Nicholas Curtis, although former Lynas executive director Harry Wang is also involved with Forge and the transaction. In a 2007 Company presentation, Lynas claimed that the Crown deposit was worth $50 billion (^[7]) but have valued it at $20.7 million for sale to Forge. Curtis as a director of Forge would receive a 24,000,000 performance shares if the deal between Lynas and Forge proceeds. Certain commentators and journalists have called into question the regulatory oversight of the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) as to the legality of such a proposal, but were proven to have been uninformed or alarmist because the proposal was always subject to the approval of independent shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM).^[8] The EGM was cancelled by Lynas after shareholder opposition to the proposal became apparent, and the Crown polymetallic deposit remains owned by Lynas.

Lynas Advanced Materials Plant[edit]

The Lynas Advance Materials Plant (LAMP) has been built near Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia. This location was chosen due to the site having all the resources required to run the plant at a lower cost than originally approved in Western Australia. In addition, the Malaysian government granted the company 'pioneer' status and offered it a 12-year tax exemption. The LAMP commenced operations in 2012.

KuantanMPFuziah Salleh has been raising her concerns over the risks of having a rare-earth processing plant near Kuantan in the Parliament of Malaysia since 18 November 2008.^[9] A civil society group 'Concerned Citizens of Kuantan' was formed in December 2008, after a meeting held by Fuziah to meet with about twenty residents and professionals from different ethnic groups and NGOs in Kuantan to discuss their concerns.^[10]

In early March 2011, an article published in the New York Times raised the public awareness concerning the LAMP.^[11][12] Since then, the Kuantan community group protesting against the LAMP led by Kuantan MP Fuziah Salleh has gradually evolved into a bigger group, i.e. Save Malaysia Stop Lynas (SMSL). The group is currently led by Bentong MP Wong Tack.^[13]

An Australian Greens MP, Robin Chapple, has shot down Lynas Corp's attempt to ship radioactive waste from Malaysia back to Western Australia state saying that the Western Australia Nuclear Waste Storage (Prohibition) Act 1999 forbids the import of radioactive waste.^[14]

On 5 September 2012, Lynas (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd was awarded a temporary operating licence by Malaysia's Atomic Energy Licensing Board for a period of two years. Despite concerns about the plant and its alleged lack of a proper long term disposal plan for its waste, a two-year temporary licence was issued.^[15]

On 19 December 2012, the Malaysian Court of Appeal dismissed an appeal by 'Save Malaysia Stop Lynas group' against a temporary operating licence granted to Lynas, with costs in favour of Lynas.^[16]

The refining facility entered production in 2013, producing 1,089 tonnes of rare-earth oxides in the first quarter of 2014, with a target of 11,000 tonnes per annum.^[17] On 2 September 2014, Lynas was issued a 2-year Full Operating Stage License (FOSL) by the Malaysian Atomic Energy Licensing Board (AELB)^[18]

In September 2018, the newly elected Pakatan Harapan government called for a thorough review of the Lynas rare earth processing plant in Gebeng, Kuantan.^[19][20] Fuziah Salleh, the Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department has been appointed as the chairwoman of the said Lynas evaluation committee, for a three-month tenure beginning 24 September 2018.^[21] Fuziah promises a fair review of the Lynas rare earth refinery, saying that she will 'look out for the best interest of Kuantan residents'^[22] However, shares of Lynas tumbled following the official confirmation that Fuziah, a long-time critic of the plant, will head the government review of its operations.^[23]

In response to this, Amanda Lacaze, the CEO and managing director of Lynas Corporation Limited wrote an open letter to the government and people of Malaysia.^[24] Lynas acknowledges the absolute right of the government to conduct a review if it is done in a fair, transparent and scientific manner, including adherence to the proper process and in keeping with other recent initiatives of the new government.^[25][26] Lynas expressed confidence in its performance and track record, called for the review committee to be independent, and technically equipped for making informed judgments, besides following a clearly defined scope and terms of reference. Lacaze also asked that sufficient time can be given to Lynas to adapt to new policies.^[27]
