About

The Senior Golfers Society is an international society which started in the USA in 1905.

Since then, Societies have been established in Canada, Great Britain, France, South Africa, Chile and Australia.

Each of the Australian states, and the ACT have established Senior Golfers Societies and all are affiliated with the national body.

The SGS of NSW was founded in 1936 by a group of keen male golfers who were members of Sydney metropolitan clubs. It was the first of the Societies in Australia formed off the back of the UK Society and membership is by invitation. The members are those who have in some way contributed to the game of golf and this usually means time spent as a Board member and in many cases in the roll of President or Captain.

Members enjoy a monthly game and gathering at leading Sydney golf clubs. To encourage a mixing of members, a draw for playing partners is conducted amongst those who have entered with every effort made to mix members of different clubs in each group of four.

All members are encouraged to participate in a bi-annual interstate teams event, which is rotated throughout all states. International tours are also featured, both inbound and outbound.

Sydney clubs which regularly host the SGS of NSW include: The Australian; Avondale; Bonnie Doon; Concord; Cromer; Elanora; Killara; Long Reef; Manly; New South Wales; Pymble; and Royal Sydney. Regional games are also arranged in Bowral and at Royal Canberra.
