  • History of Royal Cromer Golf Club Established 1888
    History of Royal Cromer Golf Club established 1888 Information obtained from minute books, letters, members records, journals and periodicals. Royal Cromer Golf Club History Established 1888 Royal Cromer Golf Club owes its existence to the enthusiasm and love of the game of a Mr. Henry Broadhurst M.P., a Scot who lived at 19, Buckingham Street, The Strand, London. In the 1880's, whilst holidaying in Cromer, he recognised the potential of land to the seaward of the Lighthouse as a possible site for a Links Course. The popularity of North Norfolk at this time had been noted in the London City Press in a report dated 5th September 1886: "The public are greatly indebted to railway enterprise for the opening up of the East Coast. More bracing air and delightful sands are not to be found in any part of England. The only drawback is that the country is rather flat. This remark, however, does not apply to Cromer, which bids fair to become the most popular watering place, it being entirely free from objectionable features". The site of the proposed golf course was owned by the then Lord Suffield KCB, who kindly consented to the request of Broadhurst and some twenty other enthusiasts to rent the land. The Club was instituted in the Autumn of 1887 with Lord Suffield as President. Doubtless it was his friendship and influence with the Prince of Wales which precipitated the Prince's gracious patronage of the infant club on 25th December 1887. Thus Cromer had a Royal Golf Club even before its official opening the following January.

Medlemmer var kaptein A. Bjerkholdt-Hansen, som foreningens daværende formann, samt kaptein Narvesen og konsul Ths. Arbo Høeg. Senere trådte losoldermann H. M. Hansen inn i egenskap av foreningens nyvalgte formann, og derefter havnefogd Ole Jørgensen. Efter anmodning påtok Ths. Arbo Høeg sig å skrive boken om Larviks Sjømannsforening gjennom de 100 år, idet han dog forbeholdt sig å utvide rammen til også å gjelde byens skibsfart i samme tidsrom. Dette var komiteen enig i. - Vi håper at boken, slik som den foreligger, vil være av interesse først og fremst for Larviksfolk og utflyttede Larvikensere, men også for sjøfarts- interesserte i sin almindelighet. Larvik i 1948. Larviks Sjømannsforening.
