Members News

WELCOME TO THE SGA GOLF CLUB MEMBERS WEBSITE.

For 2022 up to date news items will appear here on a monthly basis and by selecting from the members menu above, you are able to check the seasons fixtures, latest handicaps and results of all formal competitions.

We are re-introducing in 2022 a number of informal competitions which are open to all members and contract holders. These competitions will be in various formats and we hope to encourage more players to enter. Regular notices regarding news, competitions and social events will appear on the notice boards in the club shop and cafe.

We hope you all have a very enjoyable and successful season as we hopefully get into something more normal

Members should note that the monthly order of merit competitions are played on your choice of day – one midweek and one weekend. You choose which day and arrange your tee time. You must play with at least one other member. All competitions count towards your handicap, Order of merit, the Club Championship and Victor Ludorum finals in September. Details of qualification can be obtained from the secretary.

THe Winter Order of Merit will combine some 18 and some 9 hole weeks to make allowances for conditions. The main difference between the Winter and Summer Order of Merit being that you can play any day of the week, subject to your contract ( 5 day or 7 day)

Captain

Following debate and no clear candidate coming forward in 2019 the Executive Committee decided that there will be no Captain going forward unless members decide there is a clear demand. Our club very much remains a format for competition and some socialising, rather than the call of the wider role a Captain plays at a more conventional Club.

The Executive Committee, therefore, run the Competitions, seeking help as needed. In addition, SGA will continue to organise regular additional, non-qualifying competition with a more social objective as in the past. Details will be posted here.
