Description
Rotherham District Golf Club - The club was founded in 1903 with play over a fine
eighteen hole course at Thrybergh Park, some three miles from the town centre. Illustrated
is a small (18.5mm) but exquisite silver and enamelled award button. Within a milled rim
and enamelled title band, the recessed central reserve bears the unofficial arms used by
Rotherham until 1947, when official arms crest and supporters were granted. The reverse
is marked for Birmingham 1909 by JWT. The Club is now entitled Rotherham GC.
Information is from an article in
"The British Golf Collectors Society" written by Dixon Pickup.
