  • 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.

  • The Final Rounds of the 1947 Open Championship Were Played at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake
    The Final rounds of the 1947 Open Championship were played at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake. Northern Ireland's Fred Daly became the first Irish winner of the Open Championship, one stroke ahead of runners-up Reg Horne and amateur Frank Stranahan. It was Daly's only major title. Henry Cotton and Laurie Ayton, Jnr shared the first round lead, but in the second round both fell back with rounds of 78 and 80, respectively. After 36 holes Daly owned a four-shot lead over Cotton. Daly had a poor third round, shooting 78 to fall into a tie for the lead with Cotton, Arthur Lees, and Norman Von Nida. There were a further nine players within three-strokes of the lead. Horne, who began two back, made the first move with a 35 on the front-nine. He took a pair of 5s at the 16th and 17th holes, however, and at the 18th his putt for a 3 lipped out. He finished with a 294 total. Daly began the round with a 38 on the front, but he recovered on the back and holed a birdie putt on the 18th to post 293. Cotton made the turn in 36 and needed a 35 on the back to tie Daly, but in the blustery wind this proved too difficult and he finished at 297. That left Stranahan as the last player on the course able to tie Daly. He reached the 17th needing to play the final two holes in 7, but a three-putt led to a 5 and saw him needing an improbable 2 on the last.

  • Lanark Golf Club 2001 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
    L G C ANARK OLF LUB 1851 2001 FIFTY YEARS ON 1951 to 2001 To mark the Club’s 150th Anniversary of its Constitution on 4th October 1851 T. Henry Shanks Captain of Lanark Golf Club 2001 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The source book for all researches into our Club history has to be the excellent Centenary Booklet prepared by Mr A. D. Robertson in 1951. The quality of his authorship and academic knowledge has to be acknowledged along with the fact that some of the material in this booklet has been borrowed from that source. The detailed and painstaking researches of the present Vice President Jimmy Steele into the Minute Books and his valuable and interesting synopsis have been another rich source. Written contributions have also been made by my editorial team of Past Captains George Thomson, John Watt and Brian Orr. Reminiscences by President Eddie Foulis and the late John Glaister and from many other Club members and officials have hopefully added considerably to the interest of the material used. The support of the 150th Anniversary Committee under the Chairmanship of Past Captain John Pearson and our present Club Secretary George Cuthill has also been invaluable. Many other Past Captains and other members including Miss Marion Bryce daughter of the late John Bryce, along with others who have also contributed material and photographs. They are so numerous that space does not allow them all to be named individually. Their valuable contributions are nevertheless very warmly acknowledged. I would also be failing in my obligations if I did not acknowledge the very valuable assistance of my proof readers and the computer expertise of Past Captain Bill Toy.
