The Championship of 1904 was won by Lottie Dod, who made the transition from champion tennis player to golfer, having won the Ladies Lawn Tennis Championship at Wimbledon in 1887, 88, 91, 92 and 93. The final at Troon reflected the early interest in the game of golf, when over 6,000 spectators witnessed Miss Dod win by 1 hole.

This fine record was surpassed by Belle Robertson, also a Member of the same Club who won the title on no less than seven occasions over a period of twenty years.
