History:

This cup was originally won by the late Miss L M Gordon for the Glenelg Ladies Golf Club Monthly Medal in 1912. Subsequently it was presented to RAGC by her sister, Helen Gordon.

In 1975 Mrs R T (Nan) Steele suggested that this cup be used for match play experience for Associates not yet eligible for Grades 1 and 2 Pennant teams or the Cudmore Challenge.   Preference was to be given to younger players reducing handicaps, rather than those ‘on the way up’. (Unfortunately this has not always been the case).

The Royal Adelaide Bronze Challenge was born in 1976. It was decided that teams of 9 players would play 2 matches annually using both courses. *Changed to one match in 2018 alternating between venues.
