Interestingly I was looking through some old paperwork yesterday and found the 100 and 150 anniversary celebration menus. Before anyone comments I wasn’t actually in attendance at the 100th celebration!
Loved playing there 10 years ago! 😁👍❤
165th Anniversary of The First The Open
#OnThisDay in 1860, Prestwick Golf Club organised and hosted a competition for professional golfers, the very first Open Championship.
So began golf’s most famous event, with the original prize of a Challenge Belt, won by Willie Park Snr with a score of 174 over three rounds of 12 holes.

One of my all time favorites in Scotland. Played the course with pre 1930 golf clubs
The Home of The Open - The Prestwick club should again be in charge of The Open and not the R&A as in my opinion the R&A are no longer fit for purpose. They refuse to all The Open winner “The Champion Golfer of The World”, noting that from 1861 The Open was open to the World. There are many newspaper articles from 1860’s through to the 1930’s stating that simple fact. I am the great great grandson of Old Tom Morris and great grand nephew of Young Tommy Morris.
Awesome clubhouse great course. Challenging
Another train arrives at the platform at Prestwick. @prestwickgc

After a warm welcome and check-in at the Professionals’ Shop, you’ll meet your caddie and be greeted by our legendary starter, Bobby.
He’ll send you off down the iconic first hole, “Railway” one of the most testing opening shots in golf.
The Prestwick welcome awaits you.
