You can now view a photo-led history of the Society from its origins in the late 1800’s through to the 1970’s by going to Pictorial History in the main index. Roger Kelly and David Llewellyn, the Rye GC archivist, have sourced the photos, which have been digitised by David Purdie of the Purdie Gallery in Rye.
This photo shows Alec Shepperson holding the Putter with his ball attached after having beaten Gerald Micklem in the final 1957. Alec played in the Walker Cup in 1957 and 1959.
More photos will be added in due course.
