Firth of Clyde Golf Trophy
Instituted 1899

2004 Venue - Skelmorlie Golf Club

 

This is a scratch team competition, played annually between the clubs of the Firth of Clyde. The association was Instituted in 1898 and it is believed to be the oldest interclub golf competition in the world. The first competition was played for in 1899 by the seven founder clubs; Blairmore & Strone, Cowal, Gourock, Innellan, Kilcreggan, Rothesay & Skelmorlie. Since its conception, Millport, Largs Kelburn, Kyles of Bute, Largs Routenburn & Port Bannatyne have joined the association. This year, 2004, the event returns to Skelmorlie and it will be the first time that the competition has been played over the new 18 hole layout. Although with a pretty good record in the competition over the years, the past few years have been trophyless & we have to go back to 1988 for Skelmorlie's last win in the competition. Three of the winning team that day, Scott McIntyre, Jack Paton & Alan Napier are still members. The other two members of the winning team were Alan Cameron & Ken Morton.
