an International Member here, Mr. Robert Tiffany, Wayne, Pennsylvania.

He may well be able to help you with the names of the winners.

I dashed off a note to Mr. Robert Tiffany, but, sadly, there was no response.

I did learn that St. Davids Golf Club was founded in 1897 on the estate of Francis

Fenimore who allowed cricket matches on his property in the early 1890s.

Cricketers Louis D. Peterson, William H. Brooks, Dr. G. L. S. Jameson, Herman

Wendell, and George W. Schultz took up golfing and through the generosity of

Fenimore the club was formed.

In 1899 parts of the estate were sold and the club leased land along Lancaster

Pike between St. Davids and Radnor.

Around 1900 a clubhouse occupied the Chew farmhouse where the Hotel Radnor

stands today. Later the club bought land along Radnor and Gulph Roads to the

north of Wayne where the course opened in 1927.
