Birmingham HM 1918 'W.H.H'

Description
Outlane Golf Club - The club was formed in 1906, its eighteen-hole course located some
four miles west of Huddersfield at Slack Lane, Outlane, Yorkshire. This is a very fine award
example in silver and triple enamels (22mm) comprising a white enamel central shield
bearing the standard emblems of the game in red enamel. A rim of blue enamel enhances
the club title in a good unambiguous display. The course can be viewed from the M62, and
assuming it is the original site, is an example of what our Edwardian ancestors would have
termed ‘sporting’. The reverse marked for Birmingham 1918 by WHH.
