USGA Championships began in 1895 with the Men's Open and Amateur and one Ladies Championship. It wasn't until 1922 that a fourth event - the Public Links - was initiated by the USGA and it was played at Ottawa Park in Toledo, Ohio. There were 136 starters and this item is a badge worn by one of those first ever contestants. The medal itself is virtually in mint condition.
