GOLF SOCIETY OF GREAT BRITAIN

---

The GSGB is delighted to announce that Hawick has become the latest Participating Club.

Founded in 1877 in the beautiful Teviotdale Valley, Hawick is the oldest club in the Borders.

Renowned as  “James Braid Border Masterpiece”, Hawick is surrounded by castles & abbeys, tweed mills & distilleries.

The views are spectacular, extending to Lothians, Dumfries and Galloway, Northumberland and the Borders.

The 16th hole is known as McLaren’s Miracle in honour of lifetime member & rugby commentator Bill McLaren who had a hole-in-one at this scenic par 4. This course is the definition of “hidden gem”.

As members of a participating club, you can apply to join the society at a fantastic rate of £20 per year .

All members of the society are welcome to play at Hawick for the society rate

The Society enjoys the support of around 40 “Participating Clubs” which are among the finest in the country.

Members may play at the concessionary rate at any of these clubs. 

(Call clubs to confirm fee)

The Society holds a meeting at each of these clubs approx. every 8 years and always provides a donation (currently £600) to the Junior section.

Usually, the Captain of the club receives the donation  at the dinner following the Society’s visit.

Each year the Society runs 5 two-day meetings around the UK, each usually at a Participating Club together with another good course nearby. The meetings regularly attract upwards of 60 entrants and feature annual competitions for 12 sought-after gents and ladies trophies.

The Society also runs 2 overseas tours every year to specially chosen locations. In Spring recent tours have gone to South Africa, Chile, Tunisia, Argentina, Morocco, Mauritius, Kenya, Thailand and Arizona and in the Autumn members have enjoyed playing golf in Greece, Belgium, France, Italy, Austria, Turkey and Ireland.

Hawick look forward to welcoming the society in the future.
