What the year ranges show

The closing year printed beside each event tells you how far the linked file runs in this archive, not the last time the event was held in real life. A fresh season always adds a line or block at the end of the correct page, so the hub page only needs a clear label. If you are researching a match from the 1920s, the 1970s, or a recent final, work through the same file and use the season headers inside. Team matches such as the Walker Cup sit beside stroke play and match play individual titles so you can compare the era you care about without mixing formats.
