The golf's first competition was held in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1456, and the first competition was over a five hole course. the people who played in the competiton were important and well known in Edinburgh. the event is commemorated in a plaque on the cairn on Leith, this was the first golfing activity of any golf club in the world.cheap golf equipment
The Leith competition was ‘open’ to all golfers at the first twenty years, but it was limited to the memebers of the Leith club with formal agreement of the City of Edinburgh from 1764.in the same year, the Gentlemen Golfers appointed the first golf Chaplain, Dr John Dun, whose first act as Chaplain was to say grace after dinner.and then Gentlemen Golfers built a clubhouse at Leith in 1768, the first purpose built clubhouse in the world. Until then they usually met in a tavern called Luckie Clephan's. there is a minute on 2nd July 1768,for the ‘Golf House’, as it was called. sadly, it was sold and demolished and is now under the building on Duke Street constructed in 1931 for the Leith Academy, and now part of Queen Margaret College.cheap golf clubs
