The Lloyd’s Challenge Bowl

A silver bowl or cup, valued at ten guineas, provided by the Club for the winner of the 36 hole aggregate scratch medal at the Championship Meeting in June 1894, and at the Summer Meeting up to the First World War and again in 1921.

Thereafter there is no reference to the scratch event until 1924 when, due to the introduction of a foursome’s competition two years earlier, it was reduced to 18 holes.

The Challenge Bowl featured for the last time in 1927, the final year of the scratch medal at a Summer Meeting.
