How did it all start?
The society was formed in 1994 by a group of occasional golfers as a mechanism to increase their golf without necessarily being members of any individual club.
How does it run?
The Society is still to this day administered by a small committee that meets regularly every few months at
Pershore Club. All members are welcome and encouraged to attend as the society is run by the members for the members with the emphasis on good golf and social events, good camaraderie and above all good fun.
What does it do?
The Society sets up a range of golf days from 18 to 27 holes days out with venue locations base around the Worcestershire/Herefordshire area (
see the fixtures page).
How many days out does it have and what does this include?
Core fixtures remain at the four Summer days out but the calendar now includes almost year round golf with Winter and Summer midweek days along with Singles and Doubles KO competitions. We also have an end of season event named The Angel Cup, sponsored by Juan Mendez. This is an invitational for those who have managed a top three finish on any of the days out or won through to the Singles or Doubles semi finals. The other competition is the Champion of Champions which is a best 4 from 6 scores from events over the season. This one has a habit of throwing up unexpected results and rewards consistency rather than one off wonder rounds.
How many members are there?
Today, membership is over forty and the Society continues to flourish. Membership of the English Golf Union allowed handicaps to be administered properly and the membership continues to grow.
Does it go anywhere else?
The society has played in the international arena in 1997 hosting their first international match against The Royal Amicable Golf Club, Anderlecht at Cleeve Cloud Golf Club in Gloucestershire. A return fixture was organised for the following year as a coach load headed to Belgium. And has also had a summer golf weekend breaks to Cornwall, Scotland, Devon, The Lakes, Ireland and Wales. Connections were also established with Pershore’s twin towns of Bad Neustadt and Plouay and small party of members and guests traveled to Neustadt for a match in 2001.
