Scotland held its very first women's golf tournament in 1811. This events first began to form when Mary Queen of Scots (1542-1567) enjoyed golfing, she even had a golf course built during her reign. Women were not yet allowed to participate unitl the year 1811. The tournament was of a small town of fishermen and their wives. Even after this event challenges for women to golf were strained. They did not recieve the same treatment as men and they had little funding. In some areas the idea was just plain refused but this did not end hope for women here. This events would lead to the first women's golf club formed in1867.
