Description

Important golfing autograph: single page handwritten letter, 12 May 1903, signed by John Ernest Laidlay, the celebrated North Berwick, Scotland golfer (1860-1940), who won the Amateur Championship in 1889 and 1891 and represented Scotland against England from 1902 to 1911. Laidlay also invented the grip used by the vast majority of golfers. The letter refers to a signed discharge and was apparently sent to a solicitor. The letterhead has Laidlay's address at Invereil House, Dirleton, which overlooked the West Links golf course at North Berwick.
