Notes
1. With the Great War of 1914-18 upon them, the Club resolved that “any employee who may enlist in HM Forces for service during the War be allowed to take up his appointment if and when he returns”. Matthew Owen, the Club’s first professional enlisted but unfortunately was killed in action a year later. As part of the War effort, the course was let out for grazing; as well as bringing in £20 p.a., this avoided having to plough up the newly-laid fairways.
2. The club was formed, but the committee decided to mark it as May 23rd, 1913, the date the club was registered at a public meeting at Priory School in Tynemouth.
