Herbert Charles Coningsby Tippet (23 November 1891[1] – 28 November 1947)[2][3] was a leading British amateur golfer, golf club administrator, and golf course architect in the years between the wars. A former reserve army officer, Tippet was for a time a close associate of millionaire American property developer Carl G. Fisher, the man who created the Miami Beach, Florida resort, for whom he designed a number of golf courses in Florida and Long Island. He was one of the most successful British amateur golfers of the 1920s and 1930s and later served as secretary at several prestigious UK golf clubs. He was the second husband of Edith Marguerite Harrington, grandmother of Queen Camilla.
