HISTORY
In
1963 Courage Ltd entered the sponsorship of amateur golf and
in conjunction with Henry Cotton and this Union, arranged
their first tournament for Club Champions at Queens Park,
Bournemouth and presented a trophy to be held for one year
by the club of the competitor returning the best gross medal
score over 36 holes in addition to individual prizes. When
this sponsorship finished in 1974 the Union decided to
retain the tournament as a major stroke play event for Club
Champions and Category 1 golfers. In 2000 the tournament
was changed to entry by invitation only from the County.
