HRH The Duke of York drove in as Captain of The Royal and Ancient Golf Club on 18 September 2003, the sixth member of the royal family to hold the position. He was Captain during the year in which the Club celebrated its 250th anniversary. A painting of the drive-in was commissioned, along with this painting of the Annual Dinner. It shows the symbolic moment when the Queen Adelaide Medal is hung around The Duke of York’s neck. The Annual Dinner, which is held at the end of the Autumn Medal competition, is an important event in the Club’s annual calendar. Traditionally held in the St Andrews Town Hall, in 2002 it was decided a larger venue was needed and, since then, the Fairmont Hotel has hosted the occasion.
