  • 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.

    Met Open Championship Presented by Callaway 103rdAugust 21 - 23, 2018 Wykagyl Country Club History of the Met Open Championship Presented by Callaway From its inception in 1905 through the 1940 renewal, the Met Open was considered one of the most prestigious events in golf, won by the likes of Gene Sarazen, Walter Hagen, Johnny Farrell, Tommy Armour, Paul Runyan, Byron Nelson, and Craig Wood, in addition to the brothers Alex and Macdonald Smith (who together captured seven Met Opens, with Alex winning a record four times). The second edition of the championship was hosted and sponsored by Hollywood Golf Club, when George Low won in 1906.

The purse was raised to a record $150,000 in 2007, giving the championship added importance. In 2015 the MGA celebrated a major milestone in marking the championship’s 100th playing, won by Ben Polland at Winged Foot Golf Club.

  • Leamington & County Golf Club History of the Club
    Leamington & County Golf Club History of the club Golf in Leamington goes even further back in time as prior to 1890 two clubs were playing golf in the town. The Royal Leamington Spa Golf Club and the Royal Leamington Spa Ladies Golf Club were located on the Campion Hills and Lillington Road Links respectively. Neither of these proved to be permanent abodes. In 1904 the men moved to the Old Butts, Milverton and by 1907 some of the ladies were turning their eyes towards a new development. It was in that year that some citizens and town councillors, prompted by the desire to add a fitting amenity, formed the Leamington & County Golf Club and the new course was planned. It was this project which caught the ladies’ interest and began the demise of their own club. Then from the Old Butts the original men’s club, eventually known simply as Leamington Golf Club, moved in 1909 to links in Guys Cliffe Fields. There the game was played on a nine-hole course until 1930 when it increased to 18 holes. In 1935 the neighbouring Brookhurst House and grounds were purchased and the house converted into the clubhouse. The Club’s activities were halted in 1939 by the war but restarted after hostilities ended. It was in the early post-war period that some of the men, as the ladies had done earlier, sought membership of Leamington & County Golf Club. After a relatively short-survival period Brookhurst and the course became victim of the surge in property building. The first steps, in relation to the creation of Leamington & County Golf Club, was the convening of a meeting in Leamington Town Hall on 10th October 1907.
