Old Photograph Women Golf Course Aberfeldy Scotland
Old photograph of women playing golf on the golf course by the River Tay in Aberfeldy, Perthshire, Scotland. The original Aberfeldy golf course was 9 holes and ran along the south side of the River Tay. It was laid out on what was then known as The Cour - grazing ground for cattle. In 1907, Sir Neil Menzies offered to rent the club Weem Cow Park, on the north side of the river, to make the course 18 holes. Negotiations failed and in 1908, the lady members proposed extending the course onto ground at Killiechassie, further east on the north side of the river. That also came to nothing. It was not until 1991 that the Weem Cow Park was finally purchased by the club.
