The first documented “tournament” was played on Leith Links in 1744 by the Gentlemen Golfers of Edinburgh (later known as the Honourable Company). A Silver Club was presented by the Towne to the Company for annual competition, the winner automatically becoming the Captain of the Golf for the ensuing year. Upon completion of his term a silver or gold ball with his name was affixed to the shaft of the silver club. He was able to take temporary possession of the club in lieu of satisfactory deposit and safeguards. (There had earlier been the Edinburgh Arrow and St Andrew University Silver Arrow competitions for archers). With a significant cross-membership, St. Andrews followed with a similar Silver Club Challenge in 1754 as did Blackheath in 1766 (and Glasgow in 1787). The Musselburgh GC instead began play for a large silver cup in 1774, played for annually and available for possession by the victor who was obliged to append a “medal” to it when he restored it to the Company. Winning at Musselburgh included automatic elevation to the office of “Praeses,” or presiding officer of the Company.
