Golf Ball Marker Collectors Club.

In 1870 came the first mention of ladies’ golf when an organization was created allowing them to play over 12 holes on a western part of the links. The Dunbar Ladies Golf Club was not instituted till 1894 but this earlier ladies’ club makes it the world’s third oldest ladies golf club on record. In 1894 a second Dunbar Ladies Golf Club was founded. Its premier trophy was the Crooke medal, gifted by an Edinburgh photographer, and is still played for today. Among the Club’s earliest famous players was Hilda Mather who reached the semi-final of the British Ladies Championship twice.
