The Glaziers Golf Society
The golf society traditionally meets twice a year, at Porters Park Golf Club in Hertfordshire in the Spring and at Temple Golf Club in Berkshire in the autumn.
In 2010 we held an additional summer meeting at New Zealand Golf Club which proved to be popular and successful. It will certainly be repeated in 2011 and a date is being discussed with Ashridge Golf Club. In addition the Company regularly enters a team of four in the Prince Arthur Cup, an inter-livery event held at Walton Heath in May.
The pattern for the spring and autumn meetings is as follows. Members are expected to bring a guest, with whom they will play in the morning singles. They then team up for the afternoon greensomes. That said, the Secretary will make arrangements for those who would rather play 18 holes rather than 36, or for those who come without a guest.
The day starts with coffee and bacon rolls, and we have a snack lunch and dinner (Porters Park) and lunch and tea (Temple).
The new summer meeting comprises just 18 holes of fourballs followed by lunch.
The standard of play is the usual society mix with most of the members playing with handicaps of between 15 and 24. The courses are picturesque and, off the yellow tees, not too demanding. In the past the society has proved to be a successful way of entertaining fellow golfers and introducing them to the Livery. For an idea of the atmosphere have a look at our golf gallery.
Membership is open to any Liveryman or Freeman and any one interested should contact the Secretary (Past Master Steve Graham) or the Assistant Secretary (Liveryman Anthony Spooner).
