Biography
Cowan was born in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. He began to play golf at the municipal golf course, Rockway, in Kitchener, and found great rivalries there with such excellent players as Moe Norman and Gerry Kesselring. The three were coached by Lloyd Tucker.
Cowan reached the semi-finals of the Ontario Amateur Championship at age 17 in 1956, a record for a player so young.
He won the 1956 Canadian Junior Championship. His first national championship victory at men's level was the 1961 Canadian Amateur Championship, which was to be his only win, but he reached the finals on four other occasions (1959, 1960, 1964, 1968), and finished second at stroke play twice more (1974, 1978). Cowan finished as the low individual scorer at the 1962 Eisenhower Trophy, an international amateur team event, in Japan.
Cowan went on to win the United States Amateur Championship on two occasions. In 1966, he was victorious at the Merion Golf Club in suburban Philadelphia, after defeating Deane Beman in an 18-hole playoff. Then in 1971, he won at the Wilmington Country Club in Wilmington, Delaware, by sinking his approach shot on the final hole with a nine-iron for an eagle two. Cowan remains the only player to win the U.S. Amateur twice at stroke play, and he remains one of only two Canadians (the first was Sandy Somerville in 1932) to win the U.S. Amateur.
Gary Cowan campaigned the 1989 Grand Prix trail on the Dutch backed Doc shop Yamaha.
He returned to Northern Ireland for the annual end of season Sunflower trophy meeting at Kirkistown.
Earlier in the day, Gary easily won the 250 race, and he also entered his machine, just a production TZ 250, in the Superbike races.
The organisers tried to talk him out of it, pointing out that Ron Haslam was bringing the Pepsi RG 500 Suzuki, Brian Morrison on the 750 RC Honda,Steve Cull with the super fast rotary Norton, Eddie Laycock aboard his 500 GP Honda ...and more!
However, Gary brought the 250 to the line for this, the second Superbike race.
Sadly a short five months later, Gary would crash at Daytona, leaving him paralysed from the chest down.

I call myself a man of God While laughing at my brother I crossed the heart of a hungry man Instead of giving him some bread And what I say And what I do Are not the same anymore And who I slay, who I betray Lord have mercy on my soul And you were hungry And you were thirsty You were lonely you were cold And you were hurting, you were dying I just left you all alone I watched a mother who had her children They all three crying out for help But know one heard them And I just passed them and I screamed "Lady get a job!" She took her own life Under the bridge that day While her children sat and cried I could have told her about my loving father Instead I spit in Jesus face, when I heard her voice What you do unto the least of them You do unto me And when you see one of my hurting children I want you to snee Cause I was hungry And I was thirsty I was lonely I was cold And that was me hurting, that was me dying And you just left me all alone I call myself a man of God
