Women Golfers'
Museum
|
|
"At
the Annual dinner of the Veteran Ladies' Golfing Association held
in April 1938, a speaker urged the establishment of a Museum for the
purpose of collecting and exhibiting objects relating to the origin
and growth of women's golf. The scheme is now in the process of being
organised."
This notice was circulated
by the LGU to all clubs in 1938, and "the scheme" certainly
took off… for when the Museum officially opened in the Lady
Golfers Club, 3 Whitehall Court, in April 1939, it was judged a
great success.
The first committee had
as its President, Issette Pearson, and the first Chairman was Mabel
Stringer, who was affectionately known as "Auntie Mabel"
to her golfing friends. Ladies' Golf owes a lot to Aunty Mabel,
she was the first female golf journalist, assistant secretary of
the LGU; she founded the Girls’ Golfing Society and the Veteran
Ladies' Golf Association. She was a born organiser, and knew everyone
involved in Ladies Golf. Her enthusiasm would certainly have driven
"the scheme" forward, and there would have been no doubt
about its success with Aunty Mabel at the helm..

museum collections of national and international importance, and present
these to the public at our museums. We also provide advice and expertise
to the museums community across Scotland. "Since then the Women
Golfers' Museum has remained in Scotland but the collection has been
split with the clubs, balls, trophies, medals and costumes housed
at the British Golf Museum (BGM) at St Andrews whilst the books, handbooks
and magazines , albums and scrapbooks, photographs and other memorabilia
are in the Royal Museum, National Museums of Scotland (NMS) in Chambers
Street, Edinburgh."

"Back
in 1931 when the James River Country Club was beginning construction,
Mr. Archer Milton Huntington, who was the principal owner of Newport
News Shipyard, suggested to the officials of the James River Country
Club that since he was giving the Mariners’ Museum and other
museums to the people, that he endow a golf museum to us, aptly named
GOLF MUSEUM. He not only suggested it, but he sent his plant engineer,
Mr. John Campbell, to Europe with a pocketful of money to collect
every golf relic available. This happened before anyone thought of
collecting golf artifacts and it was during the Depression, when you
could get a lot for a little. So that is why the James River Country
Club has the oldest golf museum in the world."
