Park V. Fernie at Musselburgh, 1898

Fore! Clear the way for the earliest golf footage from the world's oldest course at Musselburgh.

If you are looking for golf history then Musselbugh Links is the place to start: it's been spoiling good walks since Charles II sat on the throne. This game between Willie Park Jr. and Willie Fernie, both Open winners, was the first of a two-part challenge match with a Ј100 prize up for grabs. If the golf swings are perhaps a little unorthodox today, it's nice to see that the celebrations of the players are unchanged.

If you don’t want to know the result then look away now - Willie Park was victorious after the second half of the match played at Troon.
