What you should know about Masterton Golf Club Inc
Even before this now accepted genesis there was golf played at Lansdowne beginning in 1897, between six and eight women played golf on the land that was to become the Lansdowne golf course. In 1903 the membership was known to be 24 men and 8 or 9 women in 1904 that had almost tripled to 52 men and 30 women. In 1906, the role only slightly increased for the men, but women’s golf continued to surge 59 men and 55 women. Handicaps in those days were calculated locally there was no national handicapping system and men’s handicaps ranged from scratch to 30. As the par or bogey, as it was known then of the course was 79, scratch is roughly equivalent to a handicap of 10 in today’s parlance.
The course, such as it was, was a nine hole one on about 32 acres of land and was endured by the enthusiastic golfers for almost twenty years. Finally, in 1923, the club was able to boast of 97 acres the current size of the course not counting the extra 25 acres to the north of the existing course earmarked for future development . In 1951 it continued its downward slide to was the value from and the current value of 71 has been in existence since 2002. As those first changes to the course were being made from the 1920s and 30s onward, the club began to be called home by a growing number of notable golfers golfers who represented New Zealand with honour as both amateurs and, in one very high profile case, a professional who won New Zealand’s first Major Championship. At the same time as Williams was tredding the fairways, a player noted as the finest iron player of his day, TH Bill Horton, joined Masterton.
He also showed his class on the national scene, winning representative honours for New Zealand. Coming on the heals of Horton was John Hornabrook, a player who caught the eye of the great Gene Sarazen. Hornabrook inspired many who followed, including Guy Horne, who was only a couple of years younger than Hornabrook. Horne won the New Zealand Amateur Championship in 1946, and represented New Zealand against Australia in 1947 and 1952.
For many, many years the only left hander to win a Major Championship the 1963 British Open Charles has been Masterton’s, and New Zealand’s, foremost golfing ambassador for the best part of five decades.
