Description
Hollingbury Park Golf Club - This club was founded in 1922 as a public course and situated
on the Ditchling Road, Brighton, part of the course being the site of a Roman and probably
earlier encampments. A large silver medal style button obviously fulfilling both uses as
required (25.5mm), it carries a familiar male-dominated central golfing scene with the full
club title and location around the edge. The jacketed prominent figure with bent left arm
was surely an anachronism by 1923. Marked for the club’s first year Birmingham 1923 by
‘JF’.
