Founded in 1955 with the object of promoting goodwill and providing funds to further the interest of the game in all its aspects. It now has about 750 members and a variety of activities described below. The GSGB is a non-profit making association, run by a properly constituted executive committee elected annually by its members.

The Society has many trophies which are competed for at the 2 day meetings that are held in different locations around England, Scotland and Wales.

The Society has the support of its Participating Clubs. These clubs include some of the the finest golf courses in the country and allow our members to play at a reduced green fee. Understandably there are some restrictions. Members must not live close to the course and need to make arrangements in advance. It is an appreciated privilege of membership but not a right.

The Society runs golf tournaments for Junior Golfers who are under 14 on the day of the event. Currently there are six events planned for 2009. Details can be found by clicking the link.

The Society runs Winter/Spring Golf Tours overseas and Summer/Autumn tours to different parts of the British Isles and nearby Europe. Recent foreign tours have been to Tunisia, Morocco, Argentina,  Chile, South Africa and Arizona and the Grand Canyon. The 2007 Autumn tour was to Belgium, 2008 to the Loire Valley and 2009 to the West of Ireland. These tours are not solely for golf and the participants can choose whether they want to play in every event or go on a variety of excursions. The tours are very popular and are enjoyed by all who take part. Early application is always advisable. Click the link to see further details of this year's tours.
