| The origins of Thistle date back to 1815 when a group
of avid golfers in Leith, Scotland banded together
to organize Thistle Golf Club. Those early Thistle
members shared the Leith links course with other
local golf societies, and chose to conduct their
activities in a very careful and respectful manner.
With great care and consideration, the group
developed a well planned membership and rules
for conduct, significantly influencing the rules
by which the game is played today.
Several years ago, many of the historic documents
and artifacts from the ancient Thistle Golf Club
were obtained at auction to be placed on display
in Thistle’s new clubhouse as part of one of the
world’s premier collections of historic golf memorabilia.
