Golf

The Golf Circle invites any Old Southendian, who enjoys playing golf in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, whether having a low or high handicap, to join and take part in a number of events, planned throughout the year.

Each year there are four golf days arranged between Spring and Autumn, one of which is a Guest Day, arranged on various courses either in Essex, Suffolk or Kent (around the M25/M20 Corridor).

The time to reach courses from the Southend-on-Sea area is restricted to about an hour or thereabouts to ensure there is little inconvenience in too much travelling. There is also an annual match against the School, usually arranged in July, held normally at the Thorpe Hall GC or Rochford Hundred GC.

The Programme for 2010 is as follows:

Thursday, April 22nd  Spring Meeting at Ipswich Purdis Heath GC
Friday, June 18th Guest Day Meeting at Colchester GC
Friday, July 23rd  Summer meeting at Brickenden Grange GC
Thursday, September 16th  Autumn meeting at Chelmsford GC

Annual Week Golf Tour Monday, May 10th 2010 to Friday May 14th 2010 in France, based in Paris and playing on all five days at courses in the northern suburbs of the city.

Thursday, 1st July 2010 - Annual Match against a School Team at Rochford Hundred GC.
