Welcome

We are delighted to announce that the 2025 changes to our Rules were passed unamimously at the 61st AGM, which clarifies the requirements for membership to allow current Captains to to join in their year of captaincy.  This change and more can be found  on the Rules page under the ‘About’ section.

Our society was formed in 1964 with a limit of 120 members. We now have over six hundred members who regularly enjoy our events.    We run three 4BBB meetings, one Individual meeting and a Mixed Invitation each year.  Our match fixtures are played against Berkshire, Sussex, Hampshire and Kent. Players of all abilities are encouraged to play. This a chance to play with and against other Lady Captains on great courses, a fun experience after all the work as Lady Captain of your club.  Membership is open to anyone who has been the Lady Captain of a SWG affiliated Surrey Golf Club and we hope that existing members will encourage other past Lady Captains in their Club to join our active and friendly Society.

Our Captain 2025-26

I am very pleased to have been voted in as your Captain for 2025.

It is a great honour and I will do my best together with my committee to ensure that our events run successfully and involve as many members as possible.

As usual we have five meetings during the year and four matches against lady captains from neighbouring counties. I am very aware of the rising costs of these events but can assure you that I did my best to negotiate a reasonable price.

Our first event is the match against Berkshire at Castle Royle on Tuesday 10th April. We hope that as many members as possible put their names down for this and the other friendly matches

  • The Spring meeting, a 4BBB event is at Betchworth Park GC on 1st May.
  • Surbiton GC is the venue for the Summer meeting and also incorporates the Veterans Trophy on the 23rd June.
  • The Golden Jubilee Claret Jug, our only singles event is at Bramley GC on 16th July.
  • On 5th August we host Hampshire at Ashford Manor GC and then on 1st September we play Kent also at Ashford Manor GC.
  • The Autumn meeting, 4BBB, is at Clandon Regis on 25th September.
  • Our last match against Sussex finds us travelling to Littlehampton GC on 29th September.

September is going to be a busy month!

The final event of the year is the ever popular Mixed Invitation at New Zealand GC. A challenge of a course and wonderful post match hospitality.

I hope that you will be able to take part in our meetings and matches this year. We are fortunate in Surrey having so many good course and clubs that welcome us for our events. Everyone is welcome so don’t leave it too late to apply! Entry forms are in the handbook and on the website.

We are supporting our usual charity of Battleback via the ball sweep at meetings. The proceeds from the raffle at the AGM are divided between Surrey County Junior Girls and my charity, READY, sports without boundaries,which supports disabled sporting youngsters.

I look forward to meeting many of you during the year. May you all have good health,good golf and good company.
