University Golf Match
The University Golf Match (commonly known as the Varsity Match) is the annual golf match contested between the Full Blue golf teams from Oxford and Cambridge universities. Dating back to 1878, it is the oldest amateur event in golf, as the first Amateur Championship was played in 1885. It is also the oldest team event in English golf. Scottish team matches were common after 1849, and included St Andrews University matches against Fife artisan clubs.〔"The Early Years of University Golf", John Gillum, 1997〕 The Varsity Match was most recently contested in March 2014, at the home of the Oxford and Cambridge Golfing Society, Rye Golf Club, and was won by Oxford by a margin of 8.5-6.5 for the men and a Cambridge victory for the ladies 6.5-2.5.
==History==
The first University Golf Match was played on March 6, 1878, at Wimbledon Common, courtesy of London Scottish Golf Club, which hosted the fixture for 19 years until it moved to Royal St George's Golf Club in 1897.〔John Gillum, ''The Oxford and Cambridge Golfing Society: 100 Years of Serious Fun'', Grant Books, 1997.〕 The match was contested by four singles matches, and used the holes up method of scoring. Oxford, led by Horace Hutchinson, won by a margin of 24 holes.〔 Up to and including 2013, 124 University Golf Matches have been played.
In 1898 the Oxford and Cambridge Golfing Society (OCGS) was founded; members qualify by virtue of their participation in the University Golf Match. Since 1920, the OCGS has hosted the President's Putter, an annual match-play competition for its members held at Rye Golf Club, in Rye, East Sussex.〔John Barton, (The Presidents Putter ), ''Golf Digest'' (December, 2009).〕
