Badenoch Golfers

Badenoch

Badenoch. “There has been no regular golf course in the district of Badenoch, although the game has been played for several years at Rails, Milton of Newtonmore, Kingussie, and at Raites, near Belleville, by summer visitors and sportsmen during their sojourn in the district, but the natives never took up the game either foe amusement or pastime.” (IC 5.6 1891)

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.
