1994 BPC36 Benham Limited Edition of 2,500 Muirfield golf course, home of the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, presents one of the finest tests of golf to be found anywhere in the world. Jack Nicklaus was so impressed with it that he named his own course (in Dublin, Ohio) Muirfield Village in honour of the course where he won his first Open Championship in 1966. Built in 1891, Muirfield is relatively recent compared to the Honourable Company formed in 1744 when they set up the first Rules of the game. In 1836 when the popular links became too crowded the Company moved to Musselburgh, some six miles away. When Musselburgh in turn became too crowded they moved to Gullane where the present course was laid out by Old Tom Morris and opened in 1891. The present layout owes much to the changes made by Harry Colt and Tom Simpson in the mid 19208, Photograph o Phil Sheldon Golf Picture Library Benham (A.
