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 possessions 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?

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. WILKINSON & SONS [BUILDERS MERCHANTS] LTD.

When next you have your round of golf at Baildon on a Sunday, spare a kindly thought for those former and present—members who fought so hard to obtain permission to play.

The original agreement with the Bradford Corporation prohibited play on a Sunday; and even opinion among members was so divided that it was necessary to call a Special General Meeting of members in order that the Committee might have a mandate to apply for permission to play. That ﬁrst application was turned down. However, one President of the Club was so convinced that the Bradford Corporation had no right to impose this restriction that he determined to defy them.

Accordingly he boasted publicly that he would play a round of golf on a certain Sunday morning, and he even arranged for a Press Photographer to be present to see him drive off at the ﬁrst tee. This actually took place; but in so doing the President placed his Committee in a most delicate situation; they had either to support his wilful violation of the agreement with the Bradford Corporation, or let their disapproval be made known publicly.

They chose the latter course. At a special meeting on the Sunday morning in question, after a lengthy discussion of all aspects of the matter, it was resolved unanimously to SUSPEND THE PRESIDENT.

As far as is known he never appeared at the Golf Club again; and, as he never resigned, it seems reasonable to assume that he remained “ suspended ” until his demise.

Successive Committees pursued the quest for Sunday golf in the constitutional manner, and eventually Bradford Corporation acceded to the club’s request. In the ﬁrst place permission was given for play until 2 pm. only, but a later concession extended the time to 6 pm.

“ Golf may be played on Sunday, not being a game within the view of the law, but being a form of moral effort." Stephen Leacock

It is not without signiﬁcance that the prime movers in the establishing of a golf course on Baildon Moor were members of the medical profession. No doubt these pioneers realised the eommon’s potential as a setting for the great game, but they were also keenly aware of the health—giving properties

of the moorland air.

Today’s enthusiasts are just as appreciative of the breezes wafting at them from the western ocean, and of their tonic effect on the sober and the sanguine, the dissipated and the despondent alike.

One hesitates in a survey of this kind to mention scenery. N0t that golfers as a class are devoid of aesthetic sense. But if they’re playing well they’ve no time for scenery, and if they’re having a bad spell they’re in no mood to appreciate it. Nevertheless, from the high points of the meor there are magniﬁcent views down and beyond the Aire Gap, with typically Yorkshire hillseapes as foreground, and in the distance purple moors melting

into wide horizons.

The course itself is a ﬁne example of a moorland links. Treeless, all—but sandless, and with a total length of slightly less than 6,000 yards, its chief hazard is its highly individual and all-encircling rough. No parallel fairways here to flatter the benders. Precision hitting, therefore, is at a premium. Not quite so much, though, as in the past (not too distant) when Baildon was a course of no compromise, when you were either on the sweet and narrow or manoeuvring in ninety-proof tiger country. Nowadays a more humane (or, some would have it, decadent) outlook prevails, and generous swathes of semi- or demi-semi—rough make lief more pleasant and

score—cards more readable.

It has become traditional hereabouts in these publications to take readers on an armchair tour of the course. In following tradition, the writer is fully aware that after three holes most members will be wondering were they mailed the wrong handbook, but undaunted, we leave the clubhouse, turn sharp left, and head North of Westish for the ﬁrst tee.

EI— FIIF. SECOND Gnu N —— QUARRY HOLE “

NO. I. 308 YARDS. “ RESERVOIR HOLE.” PAR. 4.

As reasonable 3 start to a round of golf as one could wish for- The ﬁrst drive of the day is always a Chaney business, but only a modest effort from the tee is required tO get us pitching at a green lying innocuously in the lee Of the reservoir.

NO. 2. 188 YARDS. “ QUARRY HOLE.“ PAR 3.

One of the ﬁnest par three holes in the county, and from the tee a fearsome prospect for all but the stoutest hearts. With a yawning chasm ahead, out—of—bounds left and the unutterable down right, this hole i at its best when the wind whips across from mid—on and the faithful reach for timber. I4

Emmy-m” - - r- III trim . 3. 412 YARDS. “SCONCE CRAGG.” PAR 4. A very sporting dog-leg. Playing it safe means a long, raking, uphill second. The man’s way entails a Sizeable carry over variegated rough, with the likelihood of booking into the hillside and vintage bracken. But the corner negotiated, you take out your pitching iron and you go for the stick.

. 4. 333 YARDS. “ FAWEATHER.” PAR 4. Like the First, without let or hindrance. The green is wide open and can be approached without embarrassment from any point on the fairway. The second Shot is blind for all but the muscle men.

“Pi-:NNITHORNE.” PAR . .s.- 27o YARDS. The gradient here requires that the ball be got up into the air without delay. The quail-high is out, unless you enjoy poking about in bulrushes. Once again the approach is blind for the ordinary mortal —— to a green ﬂanked by grass bunkers. The panorama right is a good excuse for a breather on the way up.

. 6. 164 YARDS. “ THE TOP.” PAR 3. The highest point on the course. If the prevailing wind is operating, we shall certainly have it at us here. There is nothing exceptional in the lay—out, but the green is well guarded and there is trouble through the back.

. 7. 354 YARDS. “AMBLER.” PAR 4. Downhill all the way and a likely hole to pinch a shot at. The ground falls away right, but the green is best approached from centre or right of centre. Going left leaves you a diﬂicult approach over sand and grass hazards.

. 8. 378 YARDS. “CAT ROCKS.” PAR 4. The ﬁrst of the three “ new” holes (1954), and one of the most inter— , esting on the course. Dog-leg to the right, it is opened up by going left of centre from the tee. No marks for bearing right. Deviationists ”n are severely punished. In particular, pushed-out seconds can mean involvement with the glacial debris that litters the hillside.

- . 9. 397 YARDS. “BIRCH. CLOSE.” PAR 4. This testing par four (Number One shot) plays somewhat longer than its advertised yardage. Disregard its hummocky aspect. Bisect the fairway with your drive (the ditch is for free) and all will be well — provided you can manage an equally accurate second. No elbow—room here, in spite of periodic and drastic barbering.

. IO. 188 YARDS. “PITS HOLE.” PAR 3. One of those what—do—I-take-here holes, whatever the conditions. The usual wind coming from extra-covet doesn’t help matters. Hookers court disaster. Slicers and pushers fare better. NO sand, but unpleasant lies through. Pin usually replaced with sighs of relief at having circumnavigated “ The Loop.” 15 _-l.'."I—.

16 Tm; SEVENTH (Imam __ “ AMBLER "

No. II. 386 YARDS. “HIGH PARK.“ PAR 4.

Expressions of relief may be premature, since No. II is no easy pro— position. Dog—leg right, a blind drive, with Off Limits cowpasture for the slicer and not overmueh room for the hooker. Second shot is an interesting one to a sunken green.

No. 12. 386 YAR s. “Low PLANE.“ PAR 4. A really good drive is needed here if a regulation four is to be notched. Old hands say the line from the tee is the V in the distant hills. Myopes and sceptics can settle for the guide—post. There is more rise than is apparent in the approach, and strategically—sited sand bunkers trap the late fades.

n—u--v-qvwrvvvvim . I3. 170 YARDS. “LOBLY GATE.” PAR 3. Another of these short holes where you wish the other fellow had the honour. A difficult target to get a bearing on. The penalty ditch guarding the green has to be carried, unless the gremlins are with you and you can scuttle one over the bridge.

No. 14. 352 YARDS. “DOBBIN.” PAR 4. An excellent par four, uphill, with an evens chance of a fresh breeze abeam. The second shot calls for some care, since we have to attack an elliptical green set broadside on in the hillside. En route to the 15th, shed a silent tear for territory ceded to the aeronauts (right). The barrows shelter the remains of Bronze Age Sportsmen and the old fourteenth green.

NO. 15. 437 YARDS. ACRE HOWE.” PAR 4. From the elevated tee there seems to be half the Riding to go at. Actually an accurate tee shot is required, for the land falls steeply left. Objective should be the old green (easily discernible) where you can stand like a Christian for your second, a most intriguing approach to a basin green whose moods are difficult to predict. . 16. 154 YARDS. “DENNIS.” PAR 3. A favourite with the hole-in-oners and a wait-and—see hole. You aim at the top of the stick and make hopefully for the green. You may be through (awkward), upbank right (just as awkward), or downbank left (disastrous). You may, of course, be on, in which case putt boldly. They drop here. . 17. 455 YARDS. “STRATHMORE.” PAR 5. For those who have been waiting for a chance to get the big shoulder- muscles heaving, here it is. A built-up tee, a tempting expanse Of fairway, and just a chance of being on in two. General Issue golfers will be content to make it with two woods plus a delicate pitch or Texas wedge to taste.

.i8. 544 YARDS. “HOME.” PAR 5. Another Olympian tee for the last drive, and a very good par ﬁve for the home hole. Extra care in lining up the drive pays off. In Spite of bonus run from steepish downhill slopes, only the really long can hope to be thereabouts in two. So you cut your suit.

After a quick change, the 19th. Elbowing your way past the Ryder Cup Men, the Golf Doctors and the demonstrators, you arrive ultimately at the bar, where we take our leave of you with the thought;

IL FRIDAY NIGHT IS R.="~\BBIT NIGHT

And has been since Sam Chippendale had the happy idea of organising competitive golf for the long-handicap players —— known to the trade as Rabbits.

Since its inception, Baildon Rabbit Section has experienced the same ﬂuctuations of fortune as the Rabbit movement in general. It is now a vigorous and enthusiastic body, playing a most important part in the life of the Club.

For it is in the Rabbit Section that the zealous but bewildered beginner ﬁnds a haven, a sympathetic ear for his troubles (whatever his particular golfing malady, he’s sure to ﬁnd a fellow—cony similarly afflicted), and the opportunity to improve his game in friendly but stern encounters.

Like Charity, these encounters begin at home, with Rabbit medal and bogey competitions through the season, ﬁxtures with the Second Team and the Ladies, and a Buck-Rabbit elimination tourney. At intervals the brother- hood foregather to celebrate successes or drown sorrows in social intercourse. And there is that most enjoyable event the Annual Trip.

Further aﬁeld, friendly ﬁxtures are played against neighbouring burrows, while more serious occasions are provided by the Bradford Rabbit League, the Bradford Rabbit Team Championships, and the Chippendale Trophy Competition. Teams compete also in the Ramsden Trophy and the Fowler Trophy competitions sponsored by the West Riding Rabbit Golf Association. In all these competitions Baildon’s record is an impressive one.

In making such a wonderful contribution to the well being of the long—handicap player, the Rabbit movement performs a noble service to the game in general, and is deserving of the goodwill and support of golfers everywhere.

Consolation for the struggling novice:

“ Cheer up! The worst is yet to come.”

“I expect Woman will be the last thing man will civilise." GEORGE MEREDITH.

However much truth this saying (or its converse) contains, one is not conscious of any missionary activity at Baildon, where the sexes have co— existed peacefully for a good number of years.

It was, in fact, before World War One that the fair sex settled in, and since. inauguration the Ladies” Section has played a prominent part in local golf affairs. From 1920 teams have competed in the Yorkshire Inter— Club competition. They reached the semi—ﬁnal in 1928 and won the shield in 1935. In 1956, and again in 1960, Baildon players were semi—ﬁnalists in the Handicap Trophy Competition. In addition, many individual successes have been registered in open meetings throughout the county, and in the Bradford and District L.G.A. winter competitions.

Domestic ﬁxtures include mixed foursomes during the summer, with the Bentley Trophy competition as a ﬁnale to the series, monthly stroke— play competitions, an American (K.O.) competition, and an Eclectic. Prizes donated by individual members are competed for on occasions throughout the season.

All competitors in these tournaments operate from handicaps very strictly regulated by the Ladies’ Golf Union. In both Silver (up to 18 handicap) and Bronze (19—36) divisions, handicap adjustments are auto— matic, and not dependent on the opinion of a club handicap committee —— hence the ladies’ claim to superiority over the males in this department.

The ladies’ activities are not confined to the course. A great deal of Bridge (stakes undivulged) is played in their comfortable quarters. Keep—fit romps, dance—classes, and mime and drama groups help to while away the close season. Successful Bring and Buy sales have helped to finance refurn— ishing projects, and lady members have rendered valuable service at the various social functions of the Club.

Altogether a happy sorority. The little lady who fancies golf as well as or instead of sorting socks will ﬁnd a warm welcome among them.

“Ali. manners take a tincture from our own." ALEXANDER POPE.

No ap310giets are tendered for once more reminding players of the etiquette of golf, since so much of our pleasure depends on its observance.

The additional notes are offered in all humility for the guidance of beginners.

I—-—-NO ONE SHOULD MOVE OR TALK, OR STAND CLOSE TO, OR DIRECTLY BEHIND THE BALL OR HOLE WHEN A PLAYER IS MAKING A STROKE. On the tee, non—strikers would do well to station themselves in or about the cricket position of backward point (never in the leg trap), remember— ing to change over for the port—side swinger. On the green, the striker should be given as much air as possible. And however furtively you practise your putting stroke, he’ll see or sense you. Don’t.

:1 — NO PLAYER SHOULD STRIKE UNTIL THE PARTY IN FRONT IS OUT OF RANGE. Some players take more shots than others to get out of range. The fact that one of the wreckers is going seven doesn’t entitle you to put one across his bows. If unsure of your range, tell yourself this is going to be that Arnold Palmer screamer you’ve always dreamed about. You never know — it might well be!

3 —\I‘~7HEN THE RESULT OF A HOLE HAS BEEN DETERMINED, PLAYERS SHOULD IMMEDIATELY LEAVE THE PUTTING GREEN. Having made sure that the pin has been properly replaced and any damage done to the putting surface repaired. Don’t have another go at that forty—yarder you just missed. You’ll miss it again, and all you’ll have done is convince yourself you really did miss it the ﬁrst time. Pick your ball up like a man, and blame the Greens Committee.

4—WHEN LOOKING FOR A LOST BALL, PLAYERS SHOULD ALLOW OTHER MATCHES COMING UP TO PASS THEM. THEY SHOULD SIGNAL THEM TO PASS, AND HAVING GIVEN SUCH A SIGNAL, THEY SHOULD NOT CONTINUE THEIR PLAY UNTIL THESE PLAYERS HAVE PASSED AND ARE OUT OF RANGE. 27 -— — - _ _.._ .. d — M“ __.~_ __...._.\_.I._._ ..._. .._.. __._...... ‘__..H.W___.__.u.‘...... ,..
