Of one thing, however, we can be certain, our present Club's origins can be traced back to November 1910 when a group of people, of whom Dr. E. C. Bailey was elected chairman, met at the Euston Coffee Tavern in Earle Street to discuss a proposition that a golf club should be formed. A Provisional Committee was set up to hunt around the vicinity for a suitable site. By December 1910, Bailey and his committee had examined a number of possibilities, the most suitable being at Mr. Booth's Fields Farm, Haslington. The proposition was: Rent - £4perannum Fairways to be mown 60 yards wide beginning 100 yards from the tees Greens to be made and fenced - not more than 25 sq. yards in area Bunkers to be allowed provided they did not interfere with cattle grazing A Club House and tool sheds to be allowed. Also grazing rights for one horse, but No dogs and no play on Sundays.
