Australian Golf Heritage Society Museum

As we worked about the Museum today, painting, installing new display items, photographing items for cataloguing, and generally whipping things into shape, there was one subject of discussion that no one could satisfactorily resolve . . . How did the great Ossie Pickworth get the name Ossie? Pickworth fans, friends and family - we know you're out there! Can anyone help?... (Golf - The Pickworth Way - Private Collection)

After putting a couple of coats of Dulux on our new display cases, master painter Bruno takes a well-deserved lunch break, and watches the last day of the 1987 Masters in our Audio-Visual Lounge (under construction). Thanks Bruno!

Courtesy of one of our moderately talented volunteers, we now have a newly minted museum display case ready for a couple of coats of paint . . . and placement according to the Museum floor plan. We've got a mob of objects that would fit under its glass. Selection of same is when it gets difficult.

For a slight change of pace, how about some Tuesday Trivia! When was the last time Australia won the Bledisloe Cup?

One for the New South Welshmen. Underneath all that silver gunk looks to be the stamp of Victor Trumper and Dodge Sydney. Looks like it might have been a short-...lived venture. Some very quick research shows the company was registered in November 1910 and were located at 317 George St. Trumper, notoriously poor with his finances, was out of the business by November 1912 and it was wound up in November 1916, though it possibly ceased operating prior to that, perhaps as early as 1912. Trumper died at the age of only 37 in 1915. This is the first time I've seen the crossover of cricket and golf on a golf club. See more
