The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews
STATEMENT
A postal ballot among members of the Club on a motion to admit women as
members will be conducted prior to the announcement of the result on 18

Notes to Editors:
The
Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews holds a unique position in
golf. Established in 1754, it evolved through two and a half centuries
as a leading authority in the world game.
As
the Club celebrated its 250th anniversary in 2004 it devolved
responsibility for the administration of the Rules of Golf, the running
of The Open Championship and other key events, and the development of
the game in existing and emerging golfing nations, to a newly formed
group of companies collectively known as The R&A.
As
a separate entity The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews remains
as a private golf club with a world-wide membership of 2,400.
