Probably the first women’s golf club in the Dominion was the ladies’ branch
of the Royal Montreal Golf Club, formed in 1892.
The wife of George A. Drummond became the first president, and in addition to Mrs. Drummond, other ladies involved were: Mrs. H. V. Meredith, secretary; Mrs. W. Wallace Watson; Mrs. Halton; and Misses P. Young, A. Lamb, and A. Paterson.
The Montreal Club had moved to new premises at Dixie in 1896, after ‘collisions with passing pedestrians were of such frequent occurrence that it was found necessary to seek other grounds.’80 The following year, no fewer than one hundred and fifty lady members ‘built themselves a club-house adjoining that of their husbands and brothers at Dixie.’
