The Inaugural
Australian Open
Trophy
The trophy for the First Open Golf Championship of Australia,
presented by The Australian Golf Club to Englishman,
The Hon. Michael Scott, in 1904, was recovered in extraordinary
circumstances in 2005, following the playing of the Centenary
Championship at Kensington.
Donald and Hilary Bowser, an English couple, had acquired
the cup at a sale in 1980 in Guernsey, Channel Islands, (where
Scott spent his latter years) and when they realized its true
significance, approached The Australian Golf Club. The Club
duly took possession of the trophy which is now an integral
piece of Australia’s golfing heritage. As Mrs. Bowser expressed
in a letter, “We are glad the cup is going to its rightful home”.

Ivo Whitton sang the virtues of steel

guns Jim Ferrier and Harry Williams to
capture his fifth Australian Open at the
age of thirty-seven. Whitton rated his
closing 73 (out in 33) in a gale as the
finest round of golf he had ever played.

said the Victorian amateur, “but steel

1996 greg norman
Bill Clinton was waiting at NSW Golf Club for his playing partner, Greg Norman, who had just
posted a first round 67 at the Open at The Australian, to arrive for an afternoon game on the
links. The President’s first drive finished deep in the ti-tree, so he took his customary mulligan
and this time his shot finished on the cut grass. As they walked off the tee, Norman turned to
his caddie and whispered, “More balls.” The pair got through eighteen holes unscathed, which
is more than Tiger Woods managed back at The Australian. He finished with a most un-Tiger
like 79 on the opening day. The tournament organisers, who were paying Woods a reputed
appearance fee of $300,000, were in a state of shock. Woods showed his mettle by finishing
72, 71, 70 for a share of fifth place. However no-one was going to catch Norman, who plotted
his way round the course to a closing 69 to win by eight strokes. 15Tickets, Transport
