Background
History
The Perth Golfing Society was formed in 1824. In 1833 King William IV granted the Society his Royal Patronage. This was the very first grant of royal patronage to a Golfing Society, notably a year before The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, which is often wrongly presumed to be the first and whose members sadly do nothing to dispel the falsehood. There are now over 70 clubs throughout the world entitled to use the name 'Royal' and Perth is proud to be the oldest.
