Forgotten Greens of Scotland
Forgotten Greens of Scotland

Elie & Earlsferry.

Elie and Earlsferry Golf Club.  Instituted 1832.  Played over the Earlsferry Links. There was no clubhouse, most committee meetings being held in the Golfers’ Tavern, and AGMs in the town Hall. The club lost members on the formation of the Golf House Club and the Earlsferry Thistle Golf Club in 1875 and thereafter gradually declined until it was eventually  disbanded in 1912. 

Harry Ward is a respected golf historian known for his detailed research into the origins and development of the game, particularly in Scotland. His work explores the early courses, players, and traditions that shaped modern golf, bringing to life the stories behind iconic venues and figures. Through careful study and a passion for the sport’s heritage, he helps preserve golf’s rich history for future generations.

All of this work is independently funded out of his own pocket. If you value preserving golf’s history and would like to support his ongoing research, any contribution—no matter how small—would be greatly appreciated.
