HISTORY 

The Golfing Society was established in 1920, when the first recorded match was played by the Regiment against the Battalion at the HAC Camp in Cardiff. The HAC Golfers who formed the HAC Golfing Society were affiliated to the HAC Sports Club in 1922. The Society’s first recorded match was against a team from Littlehampton Golf Club led by the Duke of Norfolk. This match has been contested annually since then. The Society has around 24 matches, 3 Society Meetings and a Captain’s Tour each year.

The Society has a strong fixture list playing against many of the best Golf Clubs in the South & East (Hunstanton, Royal West Norfolk, Littlehampton, Rye, New Zealand, Aldeburgh, Royal Worlington & Newmarket, and Royal St Georges to name but a few!). Matches are normally played as foursomes both during the week and at weekends. The Society has Spring, Summer and Guest Meetings to which all members are welcome. These meetings are an excellent opportunity for new Members to show their prowess to the Match Managers! 

The Society almost exclusively draws its Membership from Regimental & Non Regimental Members, however Members of other HAC Sports Clubs are welcome to apply, all of whom are encouraged to apply for Membership of the Golfing Society by contacting the Hon. Secretary Richard Stubbs on 07860 657550 or Email honsec@hacgolfingsociety.com
