The Society was formed to preserve the history of golf and the event was played with hickory shafted clubs, a tradition that has continued to the present day. All competitors wore ‘period costume’ and the event was won by Mr Bruce Green, RMGC Professional.
Dr Ken Shepherd, the founder of the Golf Society of Australia donated the trophy for this event which he named in honour of his father Mr. Frank Shepherd.
