A special exhibition about the history of The Royal and Ancient Golf Club has been unveiled at the British Golf Museum to coincide with the Club's 250th Anniversary. Four banners take the visitor on a whistle stop tour of those 250 years and a fifth celebrates 150th anniversary of the world famous Royal and Ancient Golf Clubhouse..

One of the highlights of the 250th Anniversary display is the golf ball used by the current Royal and Ancient Golf Club Captain, HRH The Duke of York, KCVO, ADC when he drove into office last September. When he officially opened the recently refurbished shop and reception of the Museum on 14th May, he took time to sign the ball

Sam Groves, the Museum Curator, said " We are delighted that the Captain signed and dated the ball as this continues the tradition by royal captains. Also on display is a signed ball by Prince Albert, HRH The Duke of York, who was Captain of the Club in 1930."
