Rowland Jones
Littlehampton/Wimbledon

Born on the Isle of Wight in 1872, Rowland Jones was a fine tournament golfer being runner-up in the Open Championship of 1905 and later winning the Belgian Open. He also represented England against Scotland on nine occasions.

He learned his clubmaking on the Isle of Wight from possibly England's finest clubmaker, Ernest Beveridge, and began his professional career at Littlehampton in 1888, He moved to the Royal Guernsey club for a couple of years in 1891 before a second stint at Littlehampton between 1893 and 1897. That year saw him take up the position at Wimbledon Park where he remained until the end of his career in 1935.

He travelled to New York by steamer, and on by special train, with Jack White, Sandy Herd, Andrew Kirkaldy and Willie Anderson, to play exhibition matches at the Mexico City Country Club (though White was too ill to play and accompanied back to Scotland by Willie Anderson).
