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’.
