In Edinburgh, Scotland on the 7th day of March 1744, several "gentlemen of honor," skilled in the ancient and healthful exercise of golf, applied to the magistrate and council of the city for a Silver Cup to be annually played for on the Links of Leith.
The Silver Cup competition is the first recorded event to be established among a society of golfers and constitutes the origin of the oldest golf club, the Honorable Company of Edinburgh golfers. The Silver Cup was played first on the Links of Leith, then at Musselburg and finally at the Honorable Company's present home, Muirfield. It has been played regularly since then.
A procession was staged on the morning of the competition, announcing by bagpipe and drum, the splendid event, and bearing The Silver Cup to the playing field at Leith.
Silver Cup competitions are a rich part of the heritage and traditions of the great game of golf, having been copied at St. Andrews, Musselburg, Carnoustie and Troon.
In keeping with the finest traditions of golf, the Men's Golf Association here at Pinetree will celebrate annually, the Pinetree Silver Cup.
Gentlemen, be proud of your colors and may the best team win.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!
