Southport & Ainsdale Since its beginning in 1906, the Club has been held in high regard for the challenge it posed for both elite amateur and professional golfer. As early as 1914, it hosted the Lancashire Amateur championship, going on to host it 9 times, most recently 2009. Over the years the links has been played by some of the world’s greatest players. Jack Nicklaus, played his first overseas professional tournament, the Piccadilly tournament in 1962 at S&A. Peter Thompson, winner of 5 Open Championships, won the Piccadilly Tournament in 1962. Arnold Palmer played the Nine Nations, in 1965 representing USA.
It began hosting professional events in 1917, when J. H Taylor, Ted Ray and James Braid played an exhibition match to raise funds for the war effort to help wounded soldiers. This was the beginning of a long association with the professional game. The Club hosted many professional tournaments, in the formative years of what later became the European Tour. In the 1950’s it hosted the Dunlop 2000 Guineas tournament, one of the richest prizes in British golf.

Wallasey Golf CLub Home Of Stableford Wallasey was founded in 1891 by members from nearby Hoylake, perhaps because their links was becoming crowded or maybe because Wallasey was more convenient for the many Liverpool businessmen wanting to slip away to play golf.Tom Morris senior of St Andrews, four times Open champion, laid out the links. An 1893 newspaper comment that "...the greens were in excellent condition..." has been repeated continuously ever since.
Dr Frank Barney Gorton Stableford gave his name to the most popular points scoring system ever to be adopted.He was an excellent golfer and with a handicap of plus 1 in 1907 he won the club championship at Royal Porthcawl. Earlier he had served as a surgeon in the Royal Army Medical Corps, and spent some years in South Africa. Wallasey held the first Stableford competition on 16th May 1932, and it was an instant success. As an everlasting tribute to Dr Stableford, Wallasey introduced "The Frank Stableford Open Amateur Memorial Trophy" in 1969. Of course, the event is played as a Stableford, and it has become a major event in the amateur golfing calendar. For more details or to enquire, contact: info@golfingdays.co.uk
