'How Did They Get Here? Amateur Success in the Modern Game' comes at a very exciting time for amateur golf.

The British Golf Museum's exhibition showcases the men's amateur game from 1946 until the present day. It features the early amateur careers of renowned professionals such as Colin Montgomerie and international players such as Jack Nicklaus and Phil Mickelson. The exhibition covers the careers of players who have excelled in the amateur ranks and those who have gone on to become top class professionals. It highlights the thriving amateur scene, covering a range of championships and international matches, from the Amateur Championship to the Jacques Leglise Trophy.

Special display items include the original Eisenhower Trophy, currently in possession of the Scotland side, medals won by five-time Amateur Champion Sir Michael Bonallack and the putter used by Peter McEvoy during his victories in the 1977 and 1978 Amateur Championship. The exhibition is accompanied by striking ceiling high graphics featuring notable amateurs turned professional such as Jack Nicklaus and Trevor Immelman. A vivid painting of Nick Faldo by renowned artist LeRoy Neiman forms an unusual addition to the displays.

The museum is open to the public from 9.30 am until 5pm on Saturday and from 10 am until 5pm on Sunday.
