Prestwick Golf Club was founded in 1851 by a group of 57 members who met at the Red Lion Inn, Prestwick. The Earl of Eglinton was the first Captain of the club, and presented a gold medal for annual competition, the Eglinton gold medal is still
Prestwick hosted the Open twelve more times after 1872, from 1875 intermittently until 1925. It was in 1182 that the eighteen hole course was born. Notable winners during this period included John Ball Jr., the first amateur to win the Open – the last amateur to win being the legendary Bobby Jones, in 1930 at Hoylake. Harry Vardon, who won the Open a record six times, won at Prestwick on three of those occasions; in 1898, 1903, and 1914. In 1908, James Braid, a member of the great golfing triumvirate, won at Prestwick, and he was also involved in the redesign of parts of the course, a role he was to fulfil for many other courses thereafter.
The Amateur Championship has been held at Prestwick on eleven occasions from 1888 to 2001, in which year Michael Hoey was the Champion. The most remarkable final was between W. Lawson Little Junior of Presidio, USA and J. Wallace of Troon Portland in 1934. Little went round in 66 in the morning and started in the afternoon 3 3 4 3 3, to win at the 5th hole by 14 and 13. In 1952 the final of the Amateur Championship was between two Americans - Frank Stranahan and winner Harvie Ward. The last Amateur held at Prestwick was 2001 as part of the Celebrations for the Club's 150th Anniversary. It was won by Michael Hoey from Shandon Park, Northern Ireland, who defeated Ian Campbell from Marlborough Golf Club in Wiltshire, by one hole in a closely contested final. A new amateur course record of 66 was set by Nick Dougherty of Shawhill.
David Fleming succeeded Frank and was appointed Professional in October 2004. David trained at Turnberry and became Head Professional. He then became Director of Golf at Carton House, Dublin prior to his appointment at Prestwick. |
