JRAHAM TEXTILES OHN LETTERS And Leading Man Lifactu rers ORIGINS OF THE CLUB The Royal and Ancient game came to Baildon Common in 1892. In that year a group of Bradford professional men, under the leadership of Dr. Dunlop, decided that the Moor was the ideal site for a golf links. The necessary charter to make and maintain a golf course on common land was obtained, and there came into being the Bradford Golf Club, alias Bradford St. Andrews G.C. HEADQUARTERS Whatever problems of course construction were encountered, there was certainly no lack of room; the moor’s wide acres ensured this in abundance. The question of a club house site presented much more difficulty, and the club operated first from two rented cellar—kitchens in Manor Croft, and later from two rented rooms in Northgate, before fetching up finally at the Shroggs. (The Shroggs passed subsequently to the Leeds Rifles and then back into private hands before providing a home for the Soldiers and Sailors Association). PENNITHORNE GOLF CLUB Within the Bradford Golf Club was what we would now term an Artisan Section. This was known as Pennithorne Golf Club, and was open to local residents at a reduced fee, on the understanding that they kept from under t’foot at weekends and on mid-week match days. Whether the Pennithorners constituted an effective Fifth Column, or whether the dry comments of the populace at ‘large proved overmuch for the Bradfordians, we don’t know. Whatever the reason, Baildon began to pull, and in 1898 Bradford Golf Club migrated to Hawksworth. BAILDON GOLF CLUB The local devoteees were not slow to act. Early in 1899, Mr. George Ambler convened ‘a meeting of all interested persons in Sandals School. He himself was prevented by illness from being present, but through Mr. Joe Dyson he invited the gathering to “make a golf course round Pennithorne ” and send the bill to him. The burghers of Baildon, being a proud and independent body, accepted the offer, and Baildon Golf Club was born. THE CLUB HOUSE Under its first president, Mr. Harry Steel, with Willie Robinson as professional, and the subscription at fifteen shillings per annum, the new club, like its predecessor, was faced with the problem of accommodation. The Pennithorners having led a quasi-nomadic existence, their only possess- ions were movable and expendable. So once again it was rented premises in Northgate, and H.Q. remained there until the present building was acquired in 1910. The story of its acquisition is worthy of relation. cm? I!

L- ISLALLLALII'IIIII-IlallIl-lulv-IIIII-IIIII 4|{lii I OPERATION MOONLIGHT The building served originally as a clubhouse for Leeds Golf Club at Cobble Hall, and a chance remark after a team‘ match there led to its purchase (for £40). Joe Hardacre and George Ambler immediately procured the site in Moorgate. But how was the building to be moved? It was decided that Abraham Halliday and James Fawcett should dismantle the structure in situ, and Tom Cordingley of \Voodbottom contracted to provide horse-and—cart transport. The sections made so wide a load, however, that the Leeds City Police intervened. What about the trams? The obvious solution was to wait each night until the last tram was safely in depot. So the moves were made at midnight, and it says much for the determination of the gentlemen concerned that the operation was carried out successfully. They certainly got value for their money! THE COURSE The original lay—out confined the course to the Sconce side of Bingley Road, except for two tees on the Dobrudden side. When Baildon Golf Club took over, the circuit was replanned and four holes “ont’low side,” were eliminated, but Bingley Road remained a boundary until 1926, when the existing First, Seventeenth, and Eighteenth holes were made. CLEAN COLLAR NEET It is often interesting to recall how committees functioned in. earlier days; and in some respects Baildon may have been unique. Years ago, each monthly meeting of the Committee was a “Clean Collar Neet ” —-— which meant that every member had to attend wearing a clean collar. The different sub-committees —— Greens, Handicap, House, Social —— took it in turn to entertain the other members to supper immediately the business of the meeting was concluded. A member was only eligible to attend if he was wearing a clean collar: and it was the President’s duty to inspect collars. This was comparatively easy if a white collar was being worn, but in the case of a soft, coloured collar this was not always easy. Many a good—natured argument was indulged in, and on more than one occasion a member had to go home to change his collar. Apart from the conviviality engendered on these occasions, they also ensured the expeditious discharge of Committee business! BAILDONIANA Stories of these early days, and of the characters who peopled them, are legion. Unfortunately, they are outside the scope of what for reasons of space can be but the briefest of accounts. One day, perhaps, some public-spirited chronicler will be moved to collect and publish these anecdotes for our diversion and delight. Ur Telephone : SHIPLEY 5 3 4 4 2 J. E.
