Silver medal (obverse) of Old Machar Golf Club, Aberdeen
This is the obverse of a silver medal of Aberdeen's Old Machar Golf Club. The medal was made by George Jamieson & Son of Aberdeen in 1879.
The obverse is engraved 'Jamieson Monthly Handicap Medal'.
Golf was almost exclusively a sport for the Scots until the second half of the 19th century, and it was played by a limited number of people. It expanded quickly, particularly after 1880, and was taken up by the English, women, and far more Scots.
