While fully recognising the hardship and suffering experienced by many during the current pandemic, it was a joy to finally get the CILT Golf Society’s season underway with a match against the National Liberal Golf Circle at West Essex GC on Wednesday 22nd July. This fixture has reached its fourth year and the CILT GS was looking to even up the win/loss statistics. The match was hosted by this year’s Liberal GC Captain, Phil Reeves, at his home club and restricted to 6-a-side (instead of the usual 8) [...]

What a year!!  As many of you will have experienced, golf clubs are finding ways to safely welcome back golf societies, albeit with some differences from normal.  It means that we hope to be able stage events again, while recognising that local restrictions may result in late changes or cancellations.  Our modified programme is as follows: 22 Jul 20         Match v Liberals GS                           West Essex GC (team of 6) 19 Aug 20        Late Spring Meeting                           Hankley Common GC 26 Aug 20        (possible) Match v RLC GS              Army GC, Aldershot (team [...]

I can now confirm that our Yorkshire Golfing Tour will go ahead. We have been in contact with each golf club, the hotel and the restaurant to understand how they will accommodate us and to outline what the COVID 19 changes will be. Hotel We have now renegotiated the price and booked 32 single rooms for the 2 x nights. The full breakfast will now be served at the table. I have attached the hotels ‘Cleanstay’ cleaning procedures for information. Rooms are still available, but not booked, for Saturday and Tuesday night. Please let me know [...]

Like other clubs in England, the course is now open for 2-ball golf but, with no clubhouse facilities or catering, is unable to offer the normal service for visiting societies. The committee has taken the view that we cannot expect our members to travel some distance to participate on that basis and the chance of restrictions being eased in order to offer more by that date look highly unlikely. We had explored other dates this year with Copt Heath Golf Club and they have kindly offered us, Postponement until later this season, until 2021, or cancellation.  [...]

"The ever lengthening forecasts of ‘COVID -19 doom and gloom’ prompted us to check with Hankley Common regarding our original booking for the Spring Meeting on 12 May.  While no decisions had been made the forecast was understandably not looking good. We have therefore discussed the matter with our sponsor, John Maguire who has agreed that we should rebook for Wednesday 19th August 2020 which we have now done. The 'Spring' Meeting will now be held on Wednesday 19th August 2020. Please keep your fingers and toes crossed!  If things do not improve [...]

Sadly, it will come as no surprise to you to be told that we have decided to cancel the forthcoming Member’s Meeting and AGM scheduled for 15 Apr.  Like many clubs, BGC has offered the golf course but little else. As a Golf Society we cannot expect members to travel some distance just for a round of golf and a brief chat outside (weather permitting).  We thought about a postponement but our programme is quite full so I’ve cancelled the meeting and carried over the deposit and booking to Tuesday 13 Apr 2021.  Those who’ve sent [...]

2020 and it’s going to be Yorkshire playing at some of the best golf courses this region has to offer. Ganton is the standout course ranked #1 in Yorkshire, 9th in England and 77th in The World.
