2x Stanmore Golf Club (Founded 1893) Monthly silver medals - both hallmarked 1900 and 1902 and mounted separately in velvet and glass oval portrait frame - 1902 understood to be engraved on the reverse "Won by Mewburn November". Note The founders organised an Open Tournament of 36 holes in a day for a total prize money of £50 - a year's wages for a workman, which was timed to take place the week before the Open at Sandwich, the first time the Open had been held on an English course. Almost all the top players came - 36 in all, including the holder of the Open Championship, as well as J H Taylor and the young James Braid. 'It was said to be the largest professional tournament that had so far taken place south of the Tweed' wrote Bernard Darwin. Note: Part Five - Golf Collection from "David Easby Estate"
